I just joined this list and have been a happy user of geany on Debian for a year. Great editor with helpful plugins! One feature I use all the time is the terminal. I noticed that if the terminal gets hung, then I can't kill it without closing geany. i.e. ctrl-c does not interrupt the program that I ran which is hung. If I go to another xterm outside of geany I can kill the runaway process, but that kills geany too! Is there a way to interrupt (break) the terminal and still keep geany open?
Hey there,

What happens when you right-click and choose Restart Terminal when something hangs?
The message window blanks out with just a solid block where cursor used to be; no response to any keys

If by hung you mean the application ignores SIGINT instead of exiting, then Ctrl-C indeed wouldn't work, even in Xterm. If you just mean stuck as in a "busy-loop", Ctrl-C works here. Can you give an example script/application that hangs by your definition?
I'm not sure why sending SIGKILL from another xterm to the errant process would kill Geany though, that sounds weird.

Have you got Menu->Edit->Preferences->Terminal->Override Geany Keybindings set?
Users mailing list Users@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
Yes I have Override Keybindings set... I just stumbled on a solution though... when I had used just ps to see the processes before (from another xterm), I could kill the bash shell (but that killed geany too since I was running it from that shell), but I just learned about pstree which showed me there is another bash shell running under geany and that I can kill independently of the first one so geany stays there!
Thanks for all your suggestions; case closed!
