Hi,
I am a new user of Geany, after trying several different editors I
settled for this one, lightweight and fast.
Using version 0.9, it looks good and stable.
There are few things I would like to suggest:
- on linux host, calling web browser is hard coded. From util.c Geany
tries several options in order. It will be very nice to make this
configurable, using either conf file or environment variable.
- it is not possible to add new file types. One can redefine already
existent ones, but not add new
- it will be very nice if search dialog would pick up word at which
cursor is on, if no selection is active
- option to mark all occurrences of a word in a file
- autocompletion which is file/type agnostic. Now it offers only
functions as a completion candidates. It will be nice to have option
to autocomplete with candidates before or after cursor
- ability to describe compiler output using regexps, to be able to use
non-gnu compilers (namely sdcc, Keil or some other strange animal) and
integrate it's results in Geany

Thanks for really nice work
