That's the beauty of my workaround. If it happens to lose the 'always on
visible workspace' setting, and I click on my geany panel icon, it opens, but
has no files in it, so I know right away to go find it on a workspace.

I hear ya. I really miss the vertical select/cut/delete/paste and the easy
macros. I like Pluma for its workspace awareness, but it's no Notepad++.

Is that a command line? Or? (relative newbie to Linux, but I used Unix a lot
when I worked for Sun.
