[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Feature: Custom command menu items (#2764)

[Damon Harris]

Hi, I just thought about this feature though I am sure many others might have come up with the same idea, I could not find a related ticket here so I am posting it for the first time (forgive me if I missed the duplicate).

The basic concept is that there will be a new section in the menu for custom labelled commands, which will execute user-defined commands, with the option of having some wildcard options to replace with the current file's path or parent directory, work directory etc.

I could already think of a few uses for this feature:
1. Show in file manager - `xdg-open %s`
2. Open terminal - `myterminal %w` (working directory or file's parent directory)
3. Open file in external program

Hopefully it is not too hard to implement, it may even be implemented as a plugin :smile:

P.S I am aware that there is a "Send selection to custom command" but that really isn't the same feature.
