Geany distinguishes between running tools (eg compilers) from running user programs. Tool output is scanned for messages referring to the source code and those lines are highlighted and made clickable in the compiler tab and the user has no ability to interact with the tool (since that is how most tools work, and so nobody has added such a capability). But output from the user programs is displayed in a terminal because that is where they will normally expect to be run (at least if they are command line tools) and that makes user interaction possible. As @codebrainz said programs can be run in the embedded terminal or external terminals, but its still a terminal, obeying the TERMCAP specs and matching where such a program would normally be run and meaning that if the program outputs colour information that will be shown. So your Python output looks like it will when Python is run on the command line. > Are there any option available that I could try to get the Python output in a > more Scite-output-pane look? No, Scite seems to be applying its own colouration to it, ie it isn't behaving as a terminal. That would need somebody to write a plugin that behaved in that way as its unlikely to be added to core. > Just in case.

(both automatically, copy and pasting is of course out) The capability is not in Geany itself, and the GUI toolkit we use (GTK) has deprecated the facility for doing that, so although somebody could make a plugin to do it, it will go away at some point in the future. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
