I'd prefer to have the window title to start with the project name so I know which window is which project. I thought of patching Geany itself like https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/290, but I am not really proficient in C, so I went for weird Python/Xfce solution. import subprocess from time import sleep while True: windows_details = subprocess.run(['wmctrl', '-l'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.decode('UTF-8') for window_details in windows_details.splitlines(): window_id, _, title = window_details.split(maxsplit=2) if '] - Geany' in title: new_title = title[title.find(' [')+2:].replace(' (new instance)', '').replace(']','') subprocess.run(['xdotool', 'set_window', '--name', new_title, window_id]) sleep(0.1) >> I could simply use xdtool!? I have to look at my OLD notes : "$d_SysMaint"'Linux/xdotool notes.txt' eg QNial : winUrlID := host_result link 'wmctrl -l | grep "' winTitle '" | tail -1 | cut -f1 -d" " ' ; 11:47$ window_id=$( wmctrl -l | grep 'geany notes.txt' | sed 's|\(^[0-9abcdefx]*\).*|\1|' ) ~ 11:47$ echo "$window_id" 0x06c00007 ~ 11:48$ xdotool set_window --name 'Geany notes.txt' "$window_id" ~ >> worked beautifully Now to change all geany window titles : wmctrl -l | grep -i 'Geany' >"$d_temp"'geany window_ids.txt' NUTS!!! no good.

The easiest way is to click "Clone or download" and then "Download ZIP". Just copy the .conf files directly into ~/.config/geany/colorschemes/. (Not wrapped in another subfolder as a result of downloading, archive extraction or Git.) They will immediately be available from the menu bar under View → Change Color Scheme... Note: These work for Geany 1.22 and above. For older versions you may need to: download different files (links provided in the README above or at http://wiki.geany.org/themes/start) navigate to View → Editor → Change Color Scheme instead restart Geany before the themes appear as new options edited Oct 11, 2017 at 22:46 lofidevops answered Mar 21, 2015 at 22:50 luart Howell: now I tried "Color chooser" on Toolbar menu >> wrong tool Note that changes for one file being edited DON'T propagate to other files!?!?!?

In newer versions of Geany you can tell it to run programs in the Vitual Terminal Emulation, i.e. the terminal tab at the bottom (Settings -> Terminal -> Run Programs in VTE). This way, the program starts more quickly (without first starting a terminal), you can still see the output generated by the program (exception stacktraces!), and the focus/cursor stays in the editor window, too. answered Dec 1, 2012 at 22:51 tobias_k 08********08 20Jan2023 geany windows stay maximized happens after opening [evolution mbox, LibreWrite]? only one workspace was affected #] geany windows stay maximized -> close all geany windows, then reopen >> this worked today ******** #] +----+ #] Other +----+ #] html [chr, color] codes for my insert file stuff : HTML character codes Table - http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm HTML color codes and chart selection : https://html-color-codes.info/ +----+ #] Ctrl-[m<>] bookmarks [set-unset, previous, next] Markers : Ctrl-m set a marker Ctrl-.(period) jumping forward from one mark to the next, use Ctrl-,(comma) jumping backward from one mark to the next, use Ctrl-m remove a marker #] Alt-Shift [block, column] selection, start marking column, keyboard move to select text #] usrWkSpcSymName stuff - geany-aided formatting : regexpr search-replace # don't include apos shown below! # line-by-line confirm, not within whole selected area, too many exceptions # prep end-of-line for next sed '([^ ])$' '\1 ' # end-of-line paren '[ \t]+$' ') ' # paren before 1st chr '^[ \t]+' '\t\t\t(' # quote phrL '"([A-Za-z0-9_]+), +' '"\1 "' # (1st must already be quoted) +----+ #] invocation of geany via [terminal, script] #] $ geany -i man geany -i, --new-instance Don't open files in a running instance, force opening a new instance.
