Hi ...
I have been using Geany more and more, and is trying to write a new cmake plugin for this small and nice IDE. While doing this, I found my self wondering about the VTE function.
Would it not be nice to refactor this terminal as a plugin, both because not all like to use or need this function and to make the plugin interface more mature, and the IDE small ?
Regards

Perhaps, but it really wouldn't save much memory vs. just disabling the 'Load virtual terminal support' general preference. libvte is loaded dynamically. You can also disable it at compile-time.
The reason we haven't made it a plugin is that the vte is fairly closely integrated into Geany, and that the plugin interface would need extending (some more callbacks, and keybinding support). Not that those things shouldn't be in the plugin interface, just that they haven't been implemented yet.

Ok, so in the future VTE would be able to export to an plugin ... all in good time I guess ...
