To extend this: Kate is written using the Qt framework while Geany uses GTK.
The terminal implementation which Kate uses is based on Qt and so it cannot be used in Geany, unfortunately.
Geany uses VTE for the terminal component and it does not work Windows, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/1236.
nce anyone will implement Windows support in the VTE library we can probably use it as well.

Hello,
So I have been using this text editor called Kate on and off which has an embedded terminal on Linux (which till recently did not work on Windows). However, Kate devs have solved the problem and have got it working on Windows 10.
See this article: Introducing The Embedded Terminal on Windows - Kate (kate-editor.org)
I have tried it and it works OK.
Geany has had the same problem since the beginning. The only solutions I can find online are some workarounds involving AutoHotKey.
If Kate devs can solve the issue, what keeps Geany from getting an embedded terminal on Windows? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@lists.geany.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.geany.org
