Also, you can try adding something like this to snippets.conf
(Tools->Configuration files):
[Lua]
if=if %cursor% then\n\t%cursor%
else=else\n\t
You will need to add a keybinding (Preferences dialog) to 'Move cursor
in snippet' — I use Shift+Tab.
So in this example, you would type if, then press tab, then type the
condition, then type Shift+Tab (or whatever keybinding you use) to
automatically insert a new line and indent. Same for else; hit tab after
typing it and you will get a free newline with your tab. :)
Hope this helps, also, good luck with recovery from your stroke.

Hi Doug,
For a start, try copying filetypes.lua from /usr/share/geany to
$HOME/.config/geany/filedefs, and uncommenting the indentation options
(set them to tab width 2, I think that’s Lua style). Then when you type
'do' or 'function' or whatever and indent, every successive line will be
at that indentation level.
Hope this helps,
James

I've been using Geany on Ubuntu 'Precise' 12.04 for a year (both 1.21
and now 1.23.1 since it came out). I'm no programmer ( far from it!) and
I've only gotten my hands and fingers to work well enough, since my
stroke, to have any competence at typing. The big thing I liked in Scite
was its ability to automatically indent based on Lua rules. I can't even
get that to work in Scite now. Is there any way to do that with Geany?
Can I set it to indent such lines as 'for' or 'do' and, possibly,
UNindent 'end' lines? I mean short of C coding. I've tried fiddling with
all the settings in Preferences but I'm just not competent enough to
make the auto indentation work for Lua. (It's a struggle just to make
Lua do what I want)
Thanks for any help or trying to help.
Doug
