[Geany-Users] cannot run multiple execute commands

[Enrico Tröger]

Hi,

this happens also with other terminal emulators like konsole.
We have a FAQ item on this:
https://www.geany.org/documentation/faq/#how-can-i-use-urxvt-or-konsole-as-terminal-application-when-executing-files

Maybe this helps also with gnome-terminal.


Regards,
Enrico
