Hi all,<div>I&#39;m using GNOME with several workspaces, and there&#39;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 ?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Anyway, I wrote a little wrapper script that detects if there&#39;s no Geany window in the current workspace, in which case it forces creating one: <a href="https://github.com/nicoulaj/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/geany">https://github.com/nicoulaj/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/geany</a></div>

<div>It was only tested on GNOME but should work as well on other desktop environments.</div><div><br></div><div>-- Julien</div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
