Terminal
by David Topham 14 Jan '17

14 Jan '17

I just joined this list and have been a happy user of geany on Debian for a year. Great editor with helpful plugins! One feature I use all the time is the terminal. I noticed that if the terminal gets hung, then I can't kill it without closing geany. i.e. ctrl-c does not interrupt the program that I ran which is hung. If I go to another xterm outside of geany I can kill the runaway process, but that kills geany too! Is there a way to interrupt (break) the terminal and still keep geany open?

Defining Functions for Geany “Filetype”
by Gil Hornung 05 Jan '17

05 Jan '17

Hi, I am using Geany as my text editor. I have started working on snakemake, which, from a syntax point-of-view, is Python with a few modifications. Python functions are defined by: def bla: bunch_of_code snakemake adds the definition of "rules" in a similar way: rule bla: bunch_of_code Geany presents in the side bar all the Python functions, but I also want it to present all the rules. However, I was not able to find how to define the keywords for a function in the file geany/filetypes.python (I want to add the keyword rule). Does anyone have any idea?

Macros should block use of reserved keys...
by Steve 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

...as well as the use of keys for accelerators that do other things just by reason of what they're called (like Page Up, Print Screen etc.). And they don't. Frankly that's scary to a non-developer like me. Besides which, I have tried half a dozen accelerator key combinations with F-keys that I know aren't// reserved, and _they don't work no matter what I do (see my previous email re: macros and rebooting). Believe me, if I knew any Python, or could get someone in the Google Group to answer my posts, I'd be doing with AutoKey instead. Steve Wright

My Geany macros do not start working until...
by Steve 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

..I either reboot my machine, or log off and back on under the same user-name. I'm the only one who uses my computer, so there are no other accounts on it besides root. Simply quitting and restarting Geany, which should work, doesn't, full stop.

Re-uploaded Geany 1.29 installer image for OS X
by Jiří Techet 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Hi, there have been some problems with the current installation image of Geany 1.29 for OS X which caused it couldn't be started on older OS X versions - for more info, see https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1335 I've just re-built and re-uploaded a new image that should fix the problem. You can get it at the usual place here: http://download.geany.org/geany-1.29_osx.dmg There have been no other changes so if everything worked for you, there's no need to download this version. A bonus feature of this build is that it should run on OS X as old as 10.6. Cheers, Jiri

Create custom lexer: segmentation fault
by Fardet Tanguy 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Dear all, I am currently trying to create a custom lexer for a language called NESTML <https://github.com/nest/nestml>. I followed the instructions on the hacking section of the manual <http://geany.org/manual/dev/hacking.html#syntax-highlighting> and managed to compile a local geany with the new lexer. However, I am encountering a Segfault problem when using this local geany: when I directly open a file, geany crashes immediately with a segmentation fault message. However, if I use Document > define filetype > NESTML on an empty page, I am able to write a file and the new lexer seems to work like a charm. Following this, opening an existing .nestml file becomes possible and the lexer still works on this file. Yet, when I close geany, I again get the segmentation fault. At some point (not always)s messages also appeared, saying: (geany:10608): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed The detailed of my implementation is on my fork of geany, on GitHub <https://github.com/Silmathoron/geany>. I am working on an Ubuntu-based Linux Mint with Glib2 and Gtk2, and the latest master for geany; the compilation was done using: (make distclean &&) ./autogen.sh --disable-html-docs --prefix=/home/me/.local && make && make install and the output of autoconf is attached. Could someone tell me where the problem comes from? I first thought I forgot to tell geany something about the lexer, but since the crash occurs for any filetype, I'm no longer sure this is the problem. An since my knowledge in C++ development is limited, I don't know how I could build geany in debug mode to track the problem... Any help appreciated! Best regards, Tanguy

How do I un-subscribe to this list?
by dave boland 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

There is no link in the body of the email, or any obvious way on the web page. We are not using Geany for java, so there is no need to be part of the list. Thanks, Dave -- dave boland dboland9(a)fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.com - Does exactly what it says on the tin

Fedora 25 Repo is Missing geany-plugins
by Fedge No 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

The Fedora plugins documentation page is a little outdated. The page shows to use yum, not dnf and the repo doesn't have a package with the name geany-plugins. I suppose the yum command is still mapped to dnf and that would be better for CentOS users or something. I was hoping to install them all with one shot but it looks like I will have to do them individually for now. There seems to be two versions of geany-plugins-lipsum that conflict as well so dnf install geany-plugins-* doesn't work, either. I don't know if this is all intentional but I found it a bit inconvenient. Most people using Geany probably know how to work around this sort of stuff but it is what it is.
