If I recompile Geany, it won't load the GeanyLua plugin until it has been recompiled too. Then, Geany starts without loading GeanyLua, which has to be explicitly re- enabled with the plugin manager. The point is that Geany sometimes unloads your plugins whether you wish it so or not. That being the case, it seems to me to be fairly important that a plugin's configuration be retained somehow even if disabled or even if Geany rejects it.
I agree, the settings should (and will) definitely be saved *somewhere*
This happens now, because the script's shortcut is part of the script. Is there a benefit in changing how Lua scripts set their shortcuts?
I think the new way will be less error-prone, less likely to conflict with other keybindings, and a little easier for me to explain and for newbies to understand.
Also, it just seems logical to follow the same convention as other plugins will.
The present arrangement is simple and works perfectly.
From what I have seen so far, both methods can co-exist
happily, so I don't see any reason to stop supporting the current system anytime soon.
Especially now, since 100% (1/1) of the users who have commented on this prefer to keep the existing method :-)
