drop gnome and use s/th like the awesome window manager, with which you might lua-script your way through to the desired behavior:
but this would, i think, still leave the question of how to tell geany in which instance a new file is to be opened. for me, it always opens in the instance first created. so maybe this assignment question is a viable one for the devs, or is there an existing solution already?
best, paul

Hi all,
I'm a refugee from the Nedit text editor and have now moved to Geany after a very brief fling with Gedit.
I'm on Linux and have 8 virtual desktops and I often work on different projects on different desktops. If I run gedit from the command line gedit will start a new instance if there isn't already a running instance on the current virtual desktop.
I know I can do 'geany -i<file>' to open a new instance, but I was wondering if the behaviour of Gedit could be matched with Geany.
Hi Eric,
Geany does not know about virtual desktops. These are accessed with Gnome specific libraries and would increase the dependencies of Geany and would make it more complex to keep portable to all desktops and to Windows.
Cheers Lex
