Hi, I am a new user of Geany, after trying several different editors I settled for this one, lightweight and fast. Using version 0.9, it looks good and stable. There are few things I would like to suggest: - on linux host, calling web browser is hard coded. From util.c Geany tries several options in order. It will be very nice to make this configurable, using either conf file or environment variable. - it is not possible to add new file types. One can redefine already existent ones, but not add new - it will be very nice if search dialog would pick up word at which cursor is on, if no selection is active - option to mark all occurrences of a word in a file - autocompletion which is file/type agnostic. Now it offers only functions as a completion candidates. It will be nice to have option to autocomplete with candidates before or after cursor - ability to describe compiler output using regexps, to be able to use non-gnu compilers (namely sdcc, Keil or some other strange animal) and integrate it's results in Geany
Thanks for really nice work

Thanks. And sorry for the late answer.

The hardcoded browser variants are only for fallback. You can change the used browser in the preferences dialog on the tab Tools.
- it is not possible to add new file types. One can redefine already
existent ones, but not add new
Yes. What do you need? Perhaps we will make the filetype system modular, sometime.
- it will be very nice if search dialog would pick up word at which
cursor is on, if no selection is active
Good idea, will be done.
- option to mark all occurrences of a word in a file
Will come sometime.
- autocompletion which is file/type agnostic. Now it offers only
functions as a completion candidates. It will be nice to have option to autocomplete with candidates before or after cursor
Maybe, but not in near future. Implementing this is a lot of work and it needs runtime. Sorry.
- ability to describe compiler output using regexps, to be able to use
non-gnu compilers (namely sdcc, Keil or some other strange animal) and integrate it's results in Geany
Hmm, I just tested sdcc and it works(because the output is very similar to gcc's one). Regexps can be done, sometime. Patches are welcome ;-).
