Just to clarify, there's no alt-shift-f to format a code block, so that the indenting, etc, style is consistent? Netbeans and Eclipse have something like that.
thanks,

Use the Edit->Format->Send selection to command with a text formatter that accepts piped input, e.g. GNU fmt.

Ah, thanks Nick, I'll look into GNU fmt :)

Actually fmt only does line breaking, but see Lex's suggestions instead.

We told you about that already on IRC yesterday...and please don't compare Geany to Netbeans or Eclipse neither expect that Geany has all of their features.
Geany is much smaller and leighter by design.

That's no reason to disallow comparison with other IDEs.
Best regards.

Yeah, without comparison we can't say how much better Geany is compared to such bloatware as Eclipse (as in causing darkness by covering the sun) and Nethasbeens. :-D
Cheers Lex
PS I'm sure that Eclipse and Netbeans both are very useful in their chosen fields, but as Enrico says the field is different to Geany's.

Thanks for the help. I referenced those IDE's to illustrate the feature I was looking for.

Unfortunately not much help since I could never get either IDE to work properly, sigh hence my rather scathing opinion.
If the feature you are looking for is code formatting, try GNU indent (for C) rather than fmt, or uncrustify.http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/ (for most curly bracket languages)

The rbeautify gem seems sufficient for my needs at present (although I've yet to tie it into geany), but thanks for the info :)

True. I didn't mean to "forbid" it more to stress that it is rather pointless because both types of software are quite different with different goals.
