But the build command does not have to be make, ninja, or whatever, it can just be `gcc`. > not just compile/build output as described in the manual, but also some > non-build status messages generated by Geany. I do think you are overegging it, the message is in a different colour to the compiler output, so most people understand its not the compiler output. > In any case, IMO the simplest solution, as previously mentioned, would be to > add a new menu item to the context menu of the Compiler tab to allow copying > only the actual build output, and none of Geany's injected status messages. > This way doesn't require adding any preferences or removing existing > functionality or such. Yes, but what would be even better is if it was possible to select and copy specific lines, several times I have wanted to copy part of the output (usually to ridicule G++ messages, but thats a valid use-case :grin: ). AFAICT its not possible to select lines because the output is actually a treeview not plain text, but maybe there is something that can be set to allow it, GTK experts needed. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
