Currently Geany uses an option parsing library that does not support a single dash by itself and without the dash there is no way of differentiating between simply opening geany and reading the standard input.

It could of course use some other option to mean read from stdin.  Given the questions about windows @codebrainz raised this might only be a Linux feature and would have to trust the user to provide an input that contains no binary and which terminates and which does not output so much that the socket blocks and which uses default encoding (UTF8).
