not sure how to get this information.
We probably can query it in Geany's core but this wouldn't help you as
there is no VTE plugin API (yet? this is another topic).

Alternatively, you could use Geany's PID and search for a child process
which is a shell and take its PTY value. This should work however the
interesting part would be to find a 'shell process' in the list of
Geany's child processes. Not completely sure whether and how it is
possible.

What exactly do you want to do?
Maybe some details help to find a solution.

Enrico
