Hi all, I'm using GNOME with several workspaces, and there's a behaviour I find quite annoying: if you have an instance of Geany running in a workspace and you open a file in another workspace, it just opens the file in the already running instance and switches you back to the workspace. I know this is more a usability issue at the desktop environment level than Geany in particular, since it is the same for other programs such as web browsers, but may be Geany could address it ?
Anyway, I wrote a little wrapper script that detects if there's no Geany window in the current workspace, in which case it forces creating one: https://github.com/nicoulaj/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/geany It was only tested on GNOME but should work as well on other desktop environments.
