Geoff, You mean running from the command line rather than inside Geany ?

%d and %f are Geany specific symbols.  They are well described in the
geany manual:

There is quite a nice article in Wikipedia on shebang - it defines the
syntax of the shebang line.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)

I can appreciate your situation as you have just switched from Windows
to Linux - I have done exactly that some years back.  In my opinion one
really does eventually have to get to grips with the command-line
features.

The best sources for me are the gnu manuals obtained from
https://www.gnu.org/. In particular, the bash and coreutils manuals are
indispensable.
