There is a useful section in the manual Usage>General>Virtual terminal emulator widget (VTE)

On my Linux Debian system I launch Geany using: ~$ geany --vte-lib /usr/lib/ ... libvte- ...

The location of libvte has to be exact.

Please forgive me if I misread your question or if any of this is more information than you needed. I use this all the time and wouldn't want to be without it:

1) Make sure your script contains a hashbang (shebang) line as its first line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)

2) Right-click on the far right side of your toolbar and choose "Toolbar Preferences" from the context menu.

3) Click the "Customize Toolbar" button.

4) Choose "Execute" in the left pane.

5) Click the right arrow.

6) Drag the icon to where you'd like the icon to be in the toolbar in relation to the other icons in your toolbar.

7) Click the "Close" button.

8) Click the "Apply" button.

9) Click the "OK" button.

Now, any time you have a script loaded up in Geany, you can click the gear in the toolbar to save and execute the script if you've changed it or just execute it if you haven't.

Not by default, but you could get this to work a few different ways I guess. One way I can think of is defining a build command to `chmod +x "%f"`.

Before you can execute a script, the executable bit has to be set.

This probably suggests you're using a GTK3 build of Geany, and thus you need a libvte that is built with GTK3.  For this, use libvte-2.91, libvte2_90 or similar.

You can check the Geany version and the GTK version it uses via *Help → Debug messages*, or with `geany --help`.

OK, that *is* a GTK3 build, so it's pretty normal it doesn't work with libvte9.

However, you really don't have a "Terminal" tab at the bottom of the screen, next to "Status", "Compiler", "Messages" and "Notes"? It might be hidden below and there might be an arrow button to go further down.

You can also check if VTE is properly found by checking if you got a "Terminal" tab in the preferences (Edit->preferences). If you do, the terminal is found and the tab must just be hidden.

Otherwise if for some reason the VTE lib isn't loaded, you could try:

$ geany --vte-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvte-2.91.so.0 -v

which works on my Debian box and must be similar on a Ubuntu one. if /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvte-2.91.so.0 doesn't exist on your system, try and locate the one that does (find is your friend).

Anyway, paste the output of a `geany -v` run if it doesn't work as it should.

Thanks Lex. The use_atomic_file_saving was not set.

Wonder how they came up with that name. ;-)

Geany is really handy as a pocket.

I found that settings for build commands are kept in filetypes.sh and filetypes.common.

I zipped copies of them and sent them to my backup dir.

To the person having trouble with their execute bits (too many things going on in the one thread I lost track).

Note that if in `Edit->preferences->Various` you have `use_atomic_file_saving` set then the execute bit gets cleared every time the file is saved.  You could try a different setting so it is preserved on save, either `use_gio_unsafe_file_saving` set, or neither.  For all gory details see https://wiki.geany.org/config/all_you_never_wanted_to_know_about_file_saving.

Because its an atomic action (a rename) that replaces the old file with the new one, so it either succeeds or the old file is unchanged.
