Hi John, Well, you could write a page linked to the developer page that describes some common functions that are used in the source code of Geany :-D Seriously, its a good idea, its called design documentation, the only problems are that doing it after the fact takes time away from the development tasks and, well, no one who knows how it works wants to do it. The other way to get more familiar with the code is to do something with it, select something from the features tracker (or your own feature, something you are interested in, since if you are like me you won't persist if you are not interested) that can be done as a plugin. Plugins use many of the Geany functions, but they are generally better documented, see http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/ Make sure you post here what you decide to do for advice and to avoid the (very unlikely) chance of someone else doing the same thing.

my_array = [[1,0],[2,1],[3,2]]
my_array.each do |x|

Not sure if I have missed something Ruby specific
Hi,
Well, sort of, or rather Geany has missed something, Ruby specific
support for indenting :)
Geany autoindent is almost language independent, it knows how to:
1. go to the same indent as last line
2. indent and unindent on { and }
3. as a special case only, indent on : in Python
None of these will work for Ruby IIUC.
What it needs is for someone to specify the algorithm, and to provide
a plugin that implements it (such language specific stuff shouldn't be
in core)
I disagree.
This is something that ought to be in the core, really. Language support is
a core feature of Geany (and any IDE). It should work out of the box and not
reside in disabled-by-default extensions. Especially if python can have its
special case in the core.
What else, if not language support, belongs to the core? And since when is
handling/enabling indentation a plugin-thing?
Hi Thomas,
None of the language specifics belong in core, given the ever
increasing number of languages it would bloat Geany far too much to
include all requested language specific features in core. This would
cause a cost that all users must bear, irrespective of what languages
they want to use.
There is no reason why language specific plugins should not be
distributed with Geany, like Class Builder, HTML Characters and
friends.
Your point about enabling is reasonable, but there is nothing from
preventing such plugins from being enabled automatically when a file
of the specific filetype is opened (filetypes are not loaded until
needed, so it just becomes another part of that process using a list
(in the filetypes file) of which plugins to enable for this filetype).
The fact that Python indenting is currently built-in is historical and
shouldn't be taken as an invitation for more languages to do the same
:)
Cheers
Lex

Perhaps I am using Name inappropriately. What I mean is the lowest element

While not very important, I can see some merit in differentiating the name

The only way I have found so far to differentiate names from values is by
setting lexer_filetype=YAML.

[Geany-Users] Removing [new instance] bug #3607948
Hi, Moved discussion of https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=787791aid=3607948group_id=153444 to this thread since discussion is easier on the mailing list than on the bug tracker. Sorry but that's not quite so, at least for me: Second and following instances open with the '[new instance]' tag although I open with the plain command $ geany I do find that the first instance opened does receive $ geany somefile.txt... not sure what happens if I close that one and open a third or fourth. Nor do I care. That kind of open-when-multiple-instances-are-running command is a questionable act in any application. If you do geany a_file and geany b_file then b_file will open in the window with a_file, that is the original instance. The command geany a_file will not exit, but the command geany b_file will exit immediately since the file was opened in the original window, that is in the original instance. If you do geany a_file and geany -i b_file then b_file will open in a new window, that is a new instance and will be labelled by (new instance). The command geany -i b_file will not exit. If you do geany a_file and geany then the second geany command will open a new window, that is a new instance, since thats the only sensible thing it can do when told no files to open. It will be labelled by (new instance). If you close the first instance, the next time you run geany some_file it will open a new window and then geany else_file will open that file in the same window as some_file. In other words only one geany with files and without -i will ever run. When it is running each invocation without -i will open the files in the same window. If that Geany is closed, the next time geany is run without -i it will take over the role of being the window other files are opened in. This is the normal use-case, Geany is not intended to run multiple times except in special circumstances, such as using it as a VCS message editor. Settings are shared and set by the last closed instance, IIUC. That is a global reality that holds at all times, for all instances. The only way I can be sure to close the right instance of Geany last is if I know in which one I made mods to settings I wish to retain. Do you know which? I cannot formulate a rule. I tend to open an instance specifically for the purpose of modifying Geany settings. It does not tell you which to close last since it doesn't know which changes you want to keep. Does it help to inform or remind the user of this global, invariant behavior by tagging some instances and not others with text unrelated to settings? I don't see how. It merely reminds you to be careful, for most people running multiple instances is unusual, so the reminder is worthwhile. I suppose you could make this work by flashing the titlebar reversed in red and replacing the text with SHARED SETTINGS ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CLOSE THIS WINDOW LAST. Please don't do that. As I said above, Geany doesn't know which settings you want to keep, so doesn't know which instance to show that on. Neither situation requires a reminder at all, persistent or not. Geany is a complex tool and to get the most out of it with the least astonishment, the user must read and understand the manual... and do some experimentation. I'm satisfied that the average user who does neither will still be productive; nor will he encounter undue astonishment. The normal Geany use-case is the same as most other editors/ides, command line requests to open a file are opened in the original window. Geany is a multi-document compliant GUI application, there is no need to run multiple copies, and most users do not do so. This is a bug, not a feature request; because the message text does not reflect anything in reality. All instances are new; that's why they're called 'instances'. What may be meant is that 'this' instance is 'newer' than another. But that's irrelevant to any other question about the instance. The (new instance) message in the title bar reflects that this instance has been started with the --new-instance option, either explicitly, or implicitly by not specifying any files to open. It might be of interest to tag the titlebar of an instance opened with '-c' as 'Unshared settings'. But then, the attempt to do so raises a modal dialog and anybody who okays such a thing is probably aware... it's deliberate action. And since the new instance does indeed open without shared settings, its window's appearance is quite different from any of the instances running *with* shared settings. It might indeed be useful to indicate the source of the configuration for instances started with -c, but that will use even more screen real-estate. By the way, you can give multiple geany commands with the same -c value and they will behave in the same way towards each other as the set without -c, and will totally ignore the set run without -c. Think like a GUI designer, not like a CLI

Key press and adding a character to the buffer can be different things, not
all keypresses get to be characters in the buffer. Admittedly brackets
might be fairly safe, but still it would be nice to keep the current
division for maintainability.
Test thoroughly that when each type of the autoclose preference is turned
off, all effects of this change must be removed. As I said above it would
be preferable to maintain normal UI operation if possible.

Why are you putting a semicolon? that leaves characters to delete when the

The assumption that a function call is the end of a statement is a bad one.

However I don't think much of their quality. And their spamming methods to find authors are questionable. A quick web search shows they do the same to many projects. It appears they have some system of generating automatic reminder mails. I received a number of these during the last days and I really lost the last interest of maybe doing a project with them. My concern is the potential impact on the Geany community, unless everyone agrees, if one person writes the book and gets paid, even a little, others may feel that they have been used, answering questions on the ML and IRC. And the benefit to the community is likely to only be greater support requirements. I don't see this in that way: Generally putting information into a book is a good chance to review current documentation and can bring back import for improving the general manual. Also it's a chance to explain things in a different way via a different medium. E.g. I got some smaller patches for documentation based on just translating them into German. Yes, agree it can be, but only if the author actually does improvements to the documentation at the same time, and avoids copyright snags with the publishers. My experience of publishing deadlines are such that they almost certainly won't have time to touch the documentation whilst writing. Also I don't see the being used as very problematic thing. Writing a (good) book is not the same as answering on IRC. In fact, putting information into a good technical one is much more about writing skills and description/explaining skills (and I think most of us are really sucking at these). I'm not trying to belittle the effort a writer would put into explaining a program, and they definitely should get paid for that, but they have to understand it first, and if they use a lot of ML and IRC time to do that, well, thats where those answering can feel hey we've contributed a lot here, and we don't get anything. Thats just human nature I'm afraid :) Also if you are not the coder kind of person, writing a book -- given that somebody is liking to spent money for -- might be a good way to pay the rent on one hand and improve free software on the other hand. (Many people just take software serious, if there are books about it just have a look onto public library and count how many books about $software you will find and have a look which software they are about) And how many you glance at and put back on the shelf :) A computer book author might pay a few months rent (for a cheap apartment), but shouldn't bank on much more. BUT of course: if a book just puts content from IRC/manual between two book covers, the book is not needed, waste of time for author and editor and ppl from community will feel used -- me included. Ok, so I'm a grumpy old so-and-so for seeing this outcome first :) But then I have seen it before, so I am just offering a warning. Geany has a good community, we don't want to divide it, thats why the community needs to agree that a particular person should write it and that yes they will offer support. Or of course, decide not.

The selection is not made part of the command, it is sent to the standard input of the selection, and the standard output is pasted in the buffer in place of the selection.

In teh Documents menu, I do have 'Line Wrapping' and 'Auto-Indentation' checked/selected. The file is currently 65.4 kB (65,439 bytes; ~8900 words; ~65750 characters; UTF-8; no execute permissions (just the standard Owner/Group read/write). This morning the pauses were averaging ~9 seconds or so, at every paste (gnome-terminal Geany .txt file). I quit Geany (one current/working tab), then reopened the file, and immediately did some copy/pastes from my (gnome-)terminal to this txt file: all instantly pasted, with Geany fully 'responsive.' Here's a key observation: I then saved the file (the first save operation after opening it), and ** immediately thereafter** the aforementioned behavior began: Geany began pausing/'freezing' (up to ~2 min 35 sec i.e. 155 sec), but more typically , ~15-60+ seconds, intermittently (many but not all paste operations). Manual save operations (Ctrl-S) are instant. While this was occurring I had one eye on my System Monitor: Geany would shoot to 100% CPU use (typically 0%, otherwise). As mentioned, I have a quad-core system: among those CPU, Geany would max out (100% useage) one of those four CPU for a bit (say 10-15 sec.?), then swap to another CPU, that would then be at 100% use (with the previous CPU freed for other system use). I quit Geany, and launched it from the (terminal) command line (not the Ubuntu Unity Panel, as I have been doing).

Ok, well, now the culprit is identified :) But it is still worthwhile getting the backtrace from GDB as I asked. Since it doesn't happen here, that will provide some guidance for the plugin maintainer where to look. Without that info he may not be able to recreate the fault to fix it. Geany-plugins is separate from Geany, the plugins are not necessarily created or maintained by Geany devs. So please make a bug report on the geany-plugins bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/p/geany-plugins/bugs/) including the backtrace from above, so the maintainer will be informed. That way he can fix it and you won't need to go without. That's good: I like the Tree Browser plugin. The treebrowser plugin has been orphaned for a while, but has just got a new maintainer (IIRC) so again please make a bug report so he will know about the problem.

Hello,
oh. So, the compiler output should look like e.g. GCC outputs, which Geany

Well, certainly gcc outputs have been used most :)
It would be the best course to use that if your compiler can be configured
to produce it. If it is a very good copy of gcc it may work with the
built-in decoding and no regex will be needed.
But for example the regex can be used with Python output like
SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('untitled.py', 28, 5, '\tfor:\n'))
can also be parsed because it has the filename untitled.py and line number
28 in the output.
The requirement for each line to have both is because compilers like C or
C++ can interleave error messages from included headers with errors from
the .c file so each line must be fully identified to allow marking in the
source file.

I don't have time at the moment to test things out with Geany (it's not my usual editor), but I do have a suggestion: One thing to try, to keep a Python window open that is not staying open by other means, is to add an input statement at the end of your program. If you're using Python 2, it would be a raw_input() statement; if using Python 3, just input(). The python command is actually run by a .bat script which has a pause after the python command, so you shouldn't need anything in the program if the python command runs. It sounds more like as Johannes said, the command is probably python.exe or some other error is preventing it finding python, so the bat file is exiting immediately without doing the pause.

Re: [Geany-Users] autocompletion issues

It could only complete things I had already written. After seeing completion work well in another editor I decided to dig in and try to figure out why. Turns out that I had to learn about tag files, find the files myself and put them in a certain folder. Not so bad. But I notice that it still doesn't work unless I type at least 5 characters, even though I have the number set to 3 in the preferences. For example I have to type backg or text- in a css file before the popup comes up. Strange, for me it works at 3, but note that it only works for basenames, abc.def will show all abc autocompletes, but thats as far as it goes. I would guess this is because other languages don't allow dot(.) inside symbols, instead they use the dot to select from a nested structure. But the symbols in CSS tags are not nested so that won't work. In python I notice keywords don't complete. Keywords do not complete in any language. What am I doing wrong? Geany should be able to complete keywords at a minimum, it already has them all specified in the filedef.conf files. The basics here should work out of the box in my opinion... for an editor as friendly as Geany. Geany doesn't complete keywords, there have been several suggestions to do this, but nobody has come up with the code, patches are welcome.

Would it take a lot more effort than more or less copypasting some code from the official ctags? I understand one can just write a C extension for ctags, even one only relying on regexs the same as would be done in ~/.ctags, which is not that hard, but it would be nice to avoid geany recompilation for simple tasks. Currently there is no way to define new parsers without re-compiling and no way of assigning them to filetypes without re-compiling. So to allow configurable parsers you would need to add that capability first. It would be less work to compile in your new filetype and add the capability to load the regexen to it. Note that the current R parser has the (compile time) option to use the regex parser, but it defaults to a coded one. Don't know why or whats the difference. But even if it used the regex one it would not load options, you would have to add that. On using regex parsers, note that by default the parser runs every 250ms when you are making changes to a file, don't make your regexes too complex (or get a faster machine I guess).

Each file there should be an entry in the menu list. If there are no entries there try uninstalling and re-installing geany (note that the geany in the ubuntu repositories is fine, I'm running that since my distro Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon is based on ubuntu 13.10) If that works then there is something wrong in the config, though I don't know of any changes to templates for several versions. Or if you are running with a detached menu, then it could be something wrong in the menu stealing hacks. I guess that means what Ubuntu does to it. I'll try compiling from source and if that works I'll give the Ubuntu deb the flick. Ubuntu does the hack in the GTK libraries, not to Geany so it won't help compiling geany. There are many distros based on ubuntu but with normal desktops you could try. That still gives you the Ubuntu software selection but since they don't use the hacks there should be less problems. Linux Mint for example is more popular than the Ubuntu its based on (by some measures).

For example, main() would have the word main highlighted but not the paratheses.

Vars would be cool too.. :) Any hints ? thanks Don't know enough Lua to know if its possible. Others may wish to comment. Because Python does not have declarations the only way of identifying variables is from assign statements, and it depends on the execution paths which is the defining assign for each variable. And where the assign occurs defines if the name is an addition is to a class, an instance or a local variable. This means suggestions such as use the first assign found for a variable or show all assigns for the variable are actually unlikely to be useful in practice. So it is unlikely that this will improve in basic Geany, but plugins that use external support (such as Jedi) may provide more assistance. Contributions of such plugins are welcome.

Re: [Geany-Users] Problem with mouse copy/paste
[...] Funny, it's about 20 years now that I'm using that method to quickly copy-paste under linux using the mouse, just to discover today that it's the wrong one :) Never too late to learn something! BTW it's a pity, because I find it much more quick and intuitive than hitting various keyboard combinations like CTRL+SHIF+C or similar. Just to be sure, I did some quick tests (I'm on Kubuntu 14.04 64bit): Perhaps its a KDE thing. The KDE usability guidelines do not mention how mouse interaction is meant to work (that I can see, correct me if I'm wrong) http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG#Structure The Gnome HIG however says Your application uses the middle button to paste the current PRIMARY (usually the last-highlighted) selection at the pointer position https://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/stable/input-mouse.html.en So if nothing is highlighted, nothing is selected. This is the behaviour that Gnome applications conform to, eg geany, gedit etc. mouse copy-paste works fine (as I expected) in terminal applications like konsole and xterm and works in mozilla FF and thunderbird. Among IDE's it works fine under kdevelop, netbeans, eclipse kepler. kdevelop is a KDE app, netbeens and eclipse are portable Java apps and conform to the java tool kit, not any desktop convention. Ah, it also works in vim (didn't test emacs though) I'm pretty sure all curses-based apps work. Terminal based apps do that because they cannot locate another position whilst keeping the selection, since they only have one cursor. Graphical UIs have a text cursor and a mouse cursor (pointer) and so can nominate the cursor position without moving the text selection. Are you really sure that all these applications are doing it the wrong way? Yes :) Cheers Lex It seems to me that clearing the selection/buffer when the user start dragging would much better that clearing it on mouse down events. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it ___ Users mailing list Users@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users ___ Users mailing list Users@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users

I think he was referring to the fact that when you select a text in a terminal (regardless of CLI or TUI) without moving the text cursor, and then click in the terminal window (this still doesn't move the text cursor but clears the selection), then the last-selected text is still pasted.

That's sad, I thought about writing a plugin for that already... Would it be difficult to implement the font settings editor-wise? No, and yes :) The underlying editor widget allows the font to be set per style, not just per window, so the underlying basis is there and is available in the plugin API. But then a method of selecting a font per filetype needs to be added, and how that interacts with the code that sets the font from the GUI menu has to be decided, because at the moment the GUI is likely to overwrite that per filetype choice, but if it doesn't is it going to be confusing if the GUI now doesn't work on some files? etc In other words there is more to it than might first appear. It likely will require changes in core, it cannot be done just from a plugin without Geany possibly overwriting the plugins choice.

Hi,
Unfortunately colouring is *syntax* highlighting, not semantic

but it doesn't know what it means. All it does is compare the
identifier to the list and if it exists it colours it keyword not
identifier colour.
A second keyword list is (ab)used to list typenames identified by the
symbol parser allowing them to be coloured differently, but again it
can't tell if a name is actually being used as a typename or variable,
so you can also get random variable names coloured if they match a
typename anywhere, even if its not in scope.

For technical reasons, and because although I started some work for line-based RE support, I didn't finish it (yet). If you're interested in the technical reason, it's quite simple: we use a multiline-capable regex engine and we pass it a pointer to the whole buffer instead of feeding it line-by line -- hence allowing it to perform multi-line matches. And thats the right thing to do IM(NS)HO. To make searches anchored to lines you need to explicitly us the anchors ^ and $, and to facilitate this we set MULTILINE mode by default though you can set flags in the regex (?m).

Me too, for the same reason. From a terminal I use: grep blah -l |xargs geany -i Neat trick, I'll use that :) but it would be much nicer to use Find in Files then e.g. right click the Messages pane and choose Open All. Agree the right click menu is the right place, my concern was having a menu item that only applied when the message window was visible with suitable contents. Could also apply to any message window contents that recognise filenames not just FIF results. As I said above if its automated it doesn't matter if the file occurs several times since the open code already has the checks to prevent opening multiple times.

Most useful is a GDB backtrace as explained on this page: http://www.geany.org/Support/Bugs Since it's probably a bug in GLib/GIO/GTK+ Yes agree, the word mutex does not appear in Geany Linux code. Looks like glib's new tests caught itself or another one of the other libraries abusing mutexen. Thats what the tests are there for :) Cheers Lex (Geany doesn't use much threads itself, if any), it would also be helpful to have debugging symbols installed (packages with -dbg at the end) for those libraries before getting the backtrace. The message you gave might just be a warning and unrelated to the real problem, so seeing where in the code it's crashing would be super useful.

Re: [Geany-Users] Bug? Detecting indent width from content.

Hi!
Here is my small sample file (indent unit is 4 spaces):
-- -- -- --
$ cat indent_width.cpp
// Indent width, detect from content: 8 (wrong). Delete any line. Indent
width, detect from content: 4 (good).
namespace S {
int z () {
int i = 0;
char c = 2;
double d = 2.4;
d *= c;
return d + i;
}
}
-- -- -- --
In Geany, the default indent at me is 4 spaces.
Open the indent_width.cpp in Geany, issue an Indent Width / Detect from
Content command.
The indent is now (erroneously) 8 spaces!
Now try deleting a line (for example the double d = 2.4;).
Repeat the autodetection: Indent Width / Detect from Content.
The indent is now (correctly) 4 spaces.
Hi,
Well, the detection is a heuristic that applies some weightings to
higher indents, so deleting a higher indent line can potentially
change the results of the heuristic as you have demonstrated.
I don't know where the heuristic came from, but since there are not
lots of complaints similar to this, it would need lots of evidence to
persuade a change.
Geany's version is: 1.23.1 (current distributed (repository-ed) version).
I *hope* you meant 1.24.1 (which is the current release) or you should
poke your distro.
Cheers
Lex

Re: [Geany-Users] Command chaining
On 5 December 2014 at 11:18, Francois Tonneau francois.tonn...@gmail.com wrote: Hello-- I have a minor technical question about custom build-menu commands and the context-action command for a specific file type. I have noticed that build-menu commands accept command chaining such as: command_1 command_2 command_3 whereas chaining does not seem to work when specifying a context-action command. The only workaround I found in the latter case was to call the shell with the -c string option: sh -c 'command_1 command_2 command_3' which effectively converts the chain of commands into a single one. The command chaining is preformed by the shell. The difference is because the build commands are run in a shell (on Linux) whilst the context action commands are not run in a shell. As you found you can can manually run the shell for the context action commands. Cheers Lex I hope this makes sense -- or am I missing something about Geany?

Lets say I have a very long line of text. I'll enable the visual line break feature, so I can still see the entire text on the screen, though make it break into multiple visual lines. Now, I'd like to hit [Home] or [End] to jump to the beginning/end of the CURRENT visual line. However, Geany will make the cursor jump to the start/end of the actual line (not the visible one). Is there anything I can to about that, in terms of configuration?

Re: [Geany-Users] [ANN] GProject plugin renamed to ProjectOrganizer + new features
[...] Subannouncement: I have also created a new GeanyCtags plugin - it uses ctags to parse a project once and again offers goto tag definition/declaration similarly to ProjectOrganizer. It is meant to be used for really huge projects where the parsing speed of PorjectOrganizer is too slow to perform on every project load. Basically if you are using an SSD disk, you won't need this plugin (parsing the linux kernel with 3 files takes something like 20s) but may be useful with rotational HDDs (it takes over 5 minutes for the linux kernel to parse). And you probably would benefit from it even more if your project is stored on a network share.

Please discuss the changes on the ML not exclusively on IRC, not everyone monitors IRC, and time zone issues mean not everyone is able to contribute. Do not discuss it on IRC and then dump it on the ML as a decided thing. Yes the ML slows down the communication process, but then that's probably a good thing anyway.
