[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] GeanyLatex and "Make": Shortcuts become disabled (#282)

> However, I believe that Geany should be able to `make` again as soon as `make` returns, so I do consider this a bug.

I don't think so.  I'm not so much knowledgeable about that, but AFAIK for the background jobs not to block Geany's spawning, it would require for Geany to inherit those children from the process it spawned, as they didn't deamonize themselves and need a parent.
I don't know what Geany could even do (portably, nonetheless) to achieve that, but I'm not quite sure it makes much sense to support that.

I understand your use case, but it seems fairly hacky to put that in the Makefile.  I myself do something similar with Lilypond files, but have a separate (run) command to show the generated PDF, which doesn't have the problem you're facing.
