[Geany] sort tabs

2012-10-02 Thread Gordon Wrigley
Hi

Is it possible to have the file tabs ordered alphabetically?

I'm still struggling to find a good way to manage open files, the documents
sidebar is nice but can't be onscreen at the same time as the symbols
sidebar. The file tabs rapidly fill up the available space, moving them to
the side fixes that, but once you have a couple of dozen finding any
particular one is hard.

[Geany] option to save tabs regularly

2012-09-24 Thread Gordon Wrigley
Is there an option somewhere to have Geany save the list of open files
intermittently instead of just on exit. I don't usually exit Geany, I start
it on boot and it runs until the machine crashes or windows decides it
needs to reboot. So it would be nice if it saved the tabs regularly so I
could have them back after a crash.

[Geany] Multiple Sidebars

2012-09-19 Thread Gordon Wrigley
Hi

Is there a way to have the symbols and documents sidebars visible at the
same time?
I want this because I find the documents sidebar more effective than the
window tabs when there are more than a half dozen files open, but I also
use the symbols sidebar heavily.

Re: [Geany] quick find behavior

2012-09-07 Thread Gordon Wrigley
 I'm assuming that by quick search box you mean the toolbar search entry?

yes

 The keybinding focus-switch to search bar (default f7) works
pretty close to the way you describe.

It does the focus and select bit, but it doesn't do the find next part. Is
there a way to bind two things to one keyboard shortcut? Because binding
find next and switch to search bar to ctrl-g would get me the chrome
behavior.

  This is not as disruptive as it might sound as you can always dismiss the
  quick search box and move focus to the search result by hitting escape.
 
  Having played around with the keybindings a bit I'm also interested in
  something that does all that and copies the current text selection to the
  quick search box.
 
  Are there any existing options for anything like this?
 
  If it matters any I currently have 1.22 on win7.

[Geany] tab completion

2009-05-06 Thread Gordon Wrigley
Is there a way to get the completion dialog to work like tab
completion in the shell? I've looked around for a keybinding or a
configuration option but haven't found one.

The reason I'm asking is that we have a lot of C code with namespacing
prefixes, for example the file I'm currently looking at has a couple
of dozen function that start with network_, so what I'd like to be
able to do is type net hit tab to get it to complete out to
network_ then type ac by which stage the only valid completion is
network_accept which I can get by hitting tab again.

Re: [Geany] file changed notifications

2009-01-22 Thread Gordon Wrigley
Sorry I wasn't clear enough, my complaint isn't that the dialog is
modal on the file, that is fine, my complaint is that it is modal on
the entire editor, once that dialog comes up I can't do anything else
until I've figured out why that file changed and what I want to do
about it. I can't even close the file, let alone edit some other file.

You are right about the firefox save passwords dialog being easy to
miss, the gedit file changed notification is about 4x as big, has a
big exclamation mark on it and prevents editing of the file until you
deal with it. However you can still use the rest of the editor, you
can switch to other tabs and use them as normal and you can close the
current tab.

I'd like to discuss the possibility of changing to a non modal prompt
for file change notification. I would prefer a system like gedits, I
couldn't find a screenshot of this but for those without access to
gedit it is comparable to the handling of popups and passwords in
newer versions of firefox.

 So far, the count is 2 vs 1 votes :).

 I totally don't like those, whatever it is called, bars. At least not
 for important things and especially not when user input is needed
 (reload? yes/no).

 I saw these things only once or twice in Gedit but I know them from
 Firefox and it's really annoying. I remember the first few times I just
 didn't realise them at all and wondered why Firefox isn't asking
 anymore whether I want to save the entered password.

 Such bars may be ok for informational messages or notices but
 definitely not for warnings or questions with user feedback.

 In case of the 'Do you want to reload' dialog when a file has changed,
 this should be modal as it doesn't make much sense when you already
 have typed 5 other lines in the file and then you notice 'oh, there is
 a box asking me to reload the file'.
 I personally would consider using another software in such a case. The
 main intention of this dialog is not to annoy users (although during
 the last days it actually did, sorry :D) but the dialog should warn
 users and prevent possible data loss by overwriting external changes.

 Regards,
 Enrico

Re: [Geany] Auto-close quotes and brackets - addition request

Dear Geany devs,

After a (short) period of getting used to it, I really like the new
feature to automatically insert quotes and brackets! It saves me a lot
of keypresses to construct a piece of code ;)

Except for this example: $var[] = 'test';

Instead of typing [] I/we now have to type [ and right arrow key. Same
goes for $empty = '', etc...


My request:

If the next character is the same as the one Geany has inserted
(/closed), overwrite the previously inserted one.

 Sounds like a good idea.

 Attached is a patch which might fix it but I didn't test it well and I
 want you (Harold, Guillaume, whoever else is using this feature) to
 test it before, it might need some tweaking.

 Regards,
 Enrico

 I think we could add a pref, some IDEs do this by default.

 I think in this case it should complete by default to self.getShortName
 (). Delimiters could be (, [, { and any other whitespace.

Re: [Geany] feature suggestion: jump

2008-11-19 Thread Gordon Wrigley
In a fullscreen window the symbols list fits about 50 items on screen.

I'm not sure how things are in other domains, but I'm an embedded C
programmer by trade and it's not at all uncommon to see files with a couple
of hundred symbols in them.

I often find myself hunting up and down the list thinking there is a
function for this, what was it called?? it had event in it's name...

On my previous editor I hacked the symbol list plugin I was using to have a
filter at the bottom of which worked ok, but the interface was never as easy
to work with as the jump in xmms.

On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 10:10 PM, Ben West [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I honestly don't see the point of this..., the symbols list already adds
 this functionality.  if there are are enough symbols in the symbols list to
 warrant this, you're probably doing something wrong. Also, if the reason
 this has been suggested is becuase you want an esy way to find the
 declaration of an instance, you can right-click on any instance and jump
 (as you put it) to the declaration.  just my $.02us

 In most winamp style mp3 players when you press the j key it brings up the
 jump dialog, this dialog provides a dynamic search of all the files in the
 current playlist and allows you to instantly jump to any of them.
 My suggestion is that Geany have a similar mechanism for searching and
 jumping to symbols in the current file.

 This is not something I've seen in any other editor, but I think it could
 be very handy.
