Hi Faustin,
This question comes up a lot. Maybe there should be a short faq page on the Geany site, in addition to the manual.
Good idea. I started one on the website: http://geany.uvena.de/Documentation/FAQ
Hi Nick,
Looks good. One minor change you might add:
=== 8< === Q: How do I get my question answered? (^)
A: Please first have a look at our comprehensive <Manual>. If that doesn't answer your question, feel free to ask on the <mailing list>. An alternative way is to leave your question on the <Questions> page. === >8 ===
Actually, what's the point of the "Questions" page?
Also, here's a few more possible faq entries:
Q. Can I extend Geany myself? A. Yes! You can write your own Geany plug-ins in C. If you install the optional Lua plug-in, you can also write your plug-ins in <Lua>.
Q. Can I make Geany behave like Emacs|Vim? A. As its default, Geany uses the standard GTK+ keybindings that most desktop users are familiar with. Although you can remap *most* keybindings to suit your taste, Geany cannot currently fully emulate Emacs or Vim, nor is it currently a goal of the core project developers to make it do so.
Q. Can Geany show me multiple files at the same time? A. Geany provides a tabbed main editor window, but currently does not have split windows. However, there are keybindings to quickly switch between tabs. Geany also has built-in support for using tags.
Q. Does Geany have incremental search? A. Case-insensitive forward incremental search is via the *search* field in the toolbar. For reverse incremental search, start a forward search then use your key for "Find Previous".
