[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can we improve the ease of use for plugins? (#2508)
I've been using Geany for years and today I recommended it to a friend. He installed it on Ubuntu then asked, > *Friend:* How do I get spell checking? > *Me:* oh, that's a separate plugin, just install it. > *Friend:* ...how? Turns out I didn't remember how I installed the plugin. My friend sent me a screenshot of the Plugin manager:  No option to search for plugins in a repository. So I googled "Geany spell check" and pointed him to https://plugins.geany.org/spellcheck.html But that page doesn't even say how to download or install the plugin: > Usage > After installed [sic] successfully [how?] Turns out other plugins also assumes the user already knows how to install them: [Markdown](https://plugins.geany.org/markdown.html), [Codenav](https://plugins.geany.org/codenav.html) etc. I know plugins are 3rd party, but there must be something Geany itself can do. For example, Codenav uses the same English mistake "After installed successfully", which suggests these plugin About pages are cloned from somewhere. A first, simple step, would be to add install instructions to that plugin documentation template. 1. Spell checking is such a common plugin. Can it ship by default, like the plugins in the screenshot above? 2. In general, how can we make it easier to install plugins? -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] OS kill signal does not save tabs. (#1416)
Geany should first save the line position in each file, when being exited normally (#1117). This is a super commonly used feature with any files that are edited frequently: when you open a source file you've been working on, you want the cursor to be where you left it, but Geany resets its position to line 1, column 1. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Default to wrap and find when the string was not found (#1192)
I'm a keyboard user with carpal tunnel. When I search for a string, half the time it's going to be above the cursor in the file. Unfortunately, the default option in the Question dialog is "Cancel":  I think a more useful default would be to Find again. If I want to Cancel, I'll press Esc. If I want to find again, I have to press two keystrokes (Alt+F, or Right Arrow then Enter). I know one extra keystroke is not much, but they add up.

[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Esc to Exit (#1124)
I use Geany as the external editor for my file managers (Krusader, Double Commander etc.). One very common operation is to open a file in the edit, inspect it for a few seconds (scrolling around), then exit, ideally without keeping the file as an open tab, since it wasn't opened from Geany itself, but rather from the file manager, typically while checking out a large number of files (e.g. the source files of a project). To do this, I currently have to press Ctrl+W, then Alt+F4 (or +Q). It would be really nice if I could define Esc as a key binding for exiting Geany, if it's pressed in the main window. Is there a way to do that? (I tried Keybindings, but pressing Esc closes the dialog that records the shortcut). --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Spell checking almost invisible on the last line (#1116)
While editing files longer than one page, Geany manages the scroll position such that the currently edited line is always the bottom-most line. One unfortunate side effect of this is that the spell checking underlining will be hidden beneath the status bar (depending on the height of the window):  In the screenshot above, you can barely see that "Filller" was highlighted as misspelled. One way other editors (e.g. GitHub right here) handle this, is by leaving some space underneath the last line in the file. As a workaround, you can repeatedly scroll down in Geany, but that gets annoying while editing. You might need to adjust the height of the Geany window to reproduce the problem. --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
