Hi All
I use Geany 1.32 on linux mint, i want to found a way to highlight the line where the needle is found while using searching tools.
It seem's the highlighting is only applied when editor have focus, and in this case, focus is on the search window.
The Scintilla editing widget Geany uses has the ability to make the current line highlight visible always, focus or not, but its is one of a number of Scintilla settings Geany doesn't expose. It is just a matter of programming, but somebody has to do it.
Thanks, I'm very glad to know it's possible, so we can create an issue (feature request) in github for this ?
Anything can be requested, its very rare for requests to be rejected, more usually they await somebody who wants them enough to implement them.
Where will be the better place for exposing this setting ?
Not sure what you meant here, so two answers:
1) yes github is the best place
2) probably the best place for the setting is in preferences->editor->features since editor->display which is its natural home is a bit full, but an issue would be the place to bikeshed it.
Maybe having another indicator like an arrow near line number will be useful.
Thanks
