Dear Geany devs,
As some of you might know, it's generally faster to use single quotes (') around strings in php instead of double quotes ("). In some coding standards (like Drupal's) however you must use double quotes instead of escaping a single quote in your string ("'" instead of ''') for readability. Cleaning up a piece of code (toggle single/double quotes) with search/replace requires a step in between or is quite an intensive job.
It would be nice if Geany could toggle single and double qoutes of a selection, just like the toggle case function does...
Bonus points could be earned if this feature would escape/unescape quotes too ;)
What do you guys think: Feature request of thrash bin?
Haha, dangerous querstion...I personally would move it to the trash bin. But what I personally think is often far away from most users needs and wishes, so it doesn't count much.
To be more seriously, I think this could be easily solved as a plugin. You just need to find someone who wants to implement it or refresh your C knowledge and do it yourself! :D
I guess there can be found several similar tasks of multiple substitutions and/or find/replace actions which can be simplified by grouping them together. But most of these like your request are more or less specific and so IMO they don't fit into Geany's core.
