[Geany] Partially solved: Folding with indentation

[Hyoung-Ryul Kang]

Dear all,

Thanks to the many helpful suggestions, especially based on Mr. Randy
Kramer's, I made one work-around in Notepad++, which is also based on
Scintilla.

The steps are as following:

1. Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/Default Directory -> Default
language -> select "Python"
( I chose Python because it is the language that I don't often use, while it
supports folding based on indentation)

2. Settings -> Style configurator -> Lauguage: select Python -> User ext.:
input "txt"

(I found that making an adjustment like this is a bit more complicated in
Geany, unlike Notepad++. Especially I couldn't find a way to select a
default language. Could someone tell me how I can do that?)

Also, although this works perfect for me, this is only a work-around, and
poses several problem. For example, if you want to use auto-completion for
'real' Python code, you will be forced to see the same auto-completion list
pops up even when you are writing a plain text.

Since folding with indentation 'right from the start' will be a
qualitatively different experience to novices to Geany, I still hope that
this feature could be included as a default, or an option that can be
selected from the GUI.

.txt lexer, combined with a capacity to select a default language (in this
case, 'simple text (.txt)' ), will be an answer.

I will try Eugene's patch and post again.

Best regards,
HR Kang.
