[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Make the shell used by Geany to run various commands configurable (#2363)

[Thomas Martitz]

I find it inappropriate that Geany depends on the shell that the user likes to use in their terminal emulator. If he likes fish, and incorrectly sets PATH/GOPATH up so that only fish sees it, does that mean we must add (and throughly test) fish to the list of supported shells?

If there is a standard method, like .xprofile, that allow GUI apps to inherit environment independently of the user's preferred shell, then we should adhere (and the user too).
