Thanks for the help...

Yes, you have a configuration directory ~/.config/geany/templates/files where you can, put, edit, move and remove files.
Thanks!
- Is it possible to remove the Build menu? I imagine that this would
require a plugin.
It basically is possible, yes, but not that trivial job. It actually would require editing the sources of Geany itself and recompiling it or writing a plugin which does that.
Ok. I know better than to start mucking about with the Geany source. You suggest that a plugin could do it, but I take it that it would be difficult, right?
- Is it possible to make a plugin that runs a custom shell on a tab
or a separate window or something like that?
If you have installed vte (package on your distro may also be called libvte), Geany has support for vte integration. Check to install vte and then go to the Terminal-Tab in Edit->Preferences.
Ok, I've done that. I have configured a custom shell (/usr/bin/python). How do I run it now? I can't find an option for that. Btw, is VTE a Linux-only feature? I'm on Linux, but I'd like to know which features are cross-platforms and which are not.
Well, I'm at least writing Perl and Python sometimes and I find the Build Menu useful, right because of the features to customize the commands and call perl with switches for linting or anything else.
How do you customize the Build menu to call Perl instead of a compiler? I can imagine changing the Build menu so that it can run the Perl debugger for example.
Thanks for the help.
