Hi,
I have three suggestions regarding the geany editor:
1, The find tag usage may not also include the tag in a comment or should with another color to distinguish 2, The find tag usage may only find the whole word but not just the matched string to make the result accurate 3, The highlight word under the course position may be yellow which is better than purple to make striking

I've never been able to print from Geany, anyone have any ideas why? I'm so used to opening docs in other apps for printing that I don't even think about it much anymore but I should give it some attention.
A bit more information would be useful, like version of geany, your operating system, gtk versions. Just post the top 3-4 lines of menu->help->debug messages as well as the OS version
Cheers Lex

12:13:49: Geany INFO : Geany 1.23.1, en_US.UTF-8 12:13:49: Geany INFO : GTK 2.24.28, GLib 2.44.1 12:13:49: Geany INFO : System data dir: /usr/share/geany
There's no obvious error, it just prints blank pages. However ... fooling around with it again, I find that if I set:
Color > ColorModel: Greyscale and Advanced > Ink Type: Black
... then it prints, but stock settings give only blanks. "Preview" shows blank pages, so it seems to be related to ink darkness or something. The printer obviously thinks it's doing what it should.
However I can only select
Range > All Pages
... never 'Current Page'.
Thanks Lex

The background colour is forced to white to avoid using up all your ink/toner if you have a dark theme, but the foreground (eg text) colours are not changed since you might *want* the ones chosen. Of course that may get you white text on a white background.
The solution is to select a theme with a light background to print. There is an enhancement proposal to have a specific theme for printing, but "somebody" has to implement it.

Range > All Pages

Thats in the system print dialog (or at least the GTK one) so we don't control what options it presents. I guess it depends on the print driver if specific pages can be selected.

I see. Well, I hope we get a printing theme then. I do indeed use pure black as my background, so I take your point. When I use other apps to print it does the predictable thing and gives me black print on white paper, but I can see how that might go horribly wrong if one expects colored output. Mind, I don't get anything at all, pure white pages spit out of the printer.

Really? Only Geany has that problem. Could it be that somehow the wrong printer driver is being called? I've often wondered about that--different apps display different sets of choices as to printer setup and you'd think they'd be the same for all. But maybe it's not Geany's issue, as you say.

You should put Issues for those here (if not already exit):
https://github.com/geany/geany/issues
Without, it might get lost, if other developers are even reading this user list.
If "find tag" refers to the search/find dialog, #2 is possible by just checking "Match whole word" check box. For #3, you can change the colour (but not opacity) by changing the "marker_search" in your colour scheme or in "filetypes.common". Something like `marker_search=;#ff0` should work.
