I do a lot of line-by-line editing in large text files using geany. This entails looking back and forth between geany and another program. I have the two set up side-by-side. When I switch the focus to the other prog, which I have to do to advance navigation there, geany stops displaying the current line highlighting. This makes it difficult to find my place visually in geany as I go back and compare.
Secondly, when it is time to go back to Geany to do the editing, clicking anywhere in the document moves the cursor there, so I lose the previous, desired cursor location.Consequently, I have to click in a dead tab bar area to avoid disrupting the cursor. I would find it very helpful if the current line would stay highlighted even when geany does not have focus, and if there was an "eat the first click" option, so that the first click only would give focus to geany, without moving the cursor. I'm on Linux, using the XFCE desktop. Other programs, such as Vivaldi, keep their highlighting when changing focus. Thanks. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
