Hi List
This is a first post. I've been using geany for about 3 months, and in fact hacked it for the haXe (http://www.haxe.org) programming language. I didn't submit my hack as it wasn't in good enough shape or generic enough, and indeed fellow haxers had issues with my code completion for haXe. If you're interested in my old hacks I blogged about it here http://blackdog-haxe.blogspot.com/2007/05/geany-errr-haxedevelop.html
The addition of the plugin system allows me to write something significant without stepping on toes which I wasn't able to do before. I'm doing a Neko VM plugin for geany (Neko is the haxe VM, see http://www.nekovm.org). This allows the creation of geany plugins in haXe using my hxGtk library. Anyway that's a work in progress, right now I'm wondering if anyone is working on the the plugin API in the following areas:
1. get currently selected class, variable etc from the Symbol tree. 2. keyboard short cuts for plugins. 3. process management, one of the issues i had in my old geany code was I had to fire off my own processes for the haXe code completion, it would be good if there was a standard way of executing a an external process and getting the result in a friendlier way for toolwriters rather than g_spawn_async_with_pipes
Just want to say it's a great project and I find the small footprint and speed extremely refreshing, I was using JEdit prior to Geany and really got ticked off with 60MB RAM consumption.
Thanks for you hard work, I hope I can add to it.
Cheers
