I'm using the windows version of Geany, is there an easy way to add a quickrun option (one click button to compile temp exe -> run temp exe - > delete temp exe) without using a batch file or other external script?

In the "Execute" build command, you should be able to put something like this:
yourCompiler -o yourtemp.exe && yourtemp.exe && del yourtemp.exe
And set the working directory to where the `yourtemp.exe` file will be.
It works OK but it won't give you compiler messages in Geany's compiler tab. It will show them inside the command prompt window that opens instead.

Thanks, that works fine.
Can you tell me what I need to put in the context command in order to have it open up a chm help file and do a keyword search? With everything I've tried geany just gives me this error:
Context action command failed: Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)

I don't think the Windows help viewer (hh.exe) has any command line options to specify search terms or keywords. You might find some better CHM viewer that does though. If you find such a program, the context action command might look something like this:
betterHh.exe /s "%s" "C:\full\path\to\theHelpFile.chm"
Alternatively, you could extract the CHM file into individual HTML files and search those using Geany, grep, or some other utility.

FWIW, it must have something along those lines... I have another editor (PSpad, Windows only) that will open *.CHM files indexed to the selected keyword in a file. I have no idea how it does it, though. You could possibly trace the calls with Sysinternals process monitor or process explorer. But that's a bit off topic for Geany. :-)

FWIW, it must have something along those lines...
This page: http://www.help-info.de/en/Help_Info_HTMLHelp/hh_command.htm seems to document a few such options for hh.exe. I didn't try any.
The command itself doesn't seem to respond to any of the typical command-line options to get help on usage, bummer.
