It would be nice to see this in geany, but generaly panes are not very usefull in normal editing. Exception if it is some kind diff tool. > > 3.

Mmm, how this feature can be any usefull in real life? > Anyway, just some ideas that I thought Geany users might find > interesting to chat about. I didn't download it but something tell me it is not worth using even if it was free. Homepage contains only marketing bullshit. Either documentation is poor or editor doesn't have a lot of features. p.s. As for python interface for plugin, it is not very difficult to make one, the only reason we don't have it - no one care enough to program it. -- Yura Siamashka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
