[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Open file in geany in current desktop? (#1025)

[Nazar Mokrynskyi]

@zaxebo1, thanks for the link!
I've modified it to this:
```bash
#!/bin/sh

socket=`xprop -root _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP`
socket=${socket##* }

if [ "$socket" ]
then
    if [ "$DISPLAY" ]
    then
        socket="${DISPLAY%.*}-$socket"
        socket=${socket#*:}
    else
        socket="NODISPLAY-$socket"
    fi
    exec /usr/bin/geany --socket-file "/tmp/geany_socket_$socket" "$@"
else
    exec /usr/bin/geany "$@"
fi
```

Then I've saved it as `~/.local/bin/geany`, made it executable and added `~/.local/bin` to PATH.

SInce in Ubuntu `geany.desktop` uses simply `geany` instead of full path, all file types associations now use this new script as well as direct execution from menu. Works wonderfully, finally proper replacement for slow gedit.

IMHO, this should be the default behavior.
