I don't think there should be any kind of learning curve in the way.
The main thing I want from a text editor is just to edit text. It's called Geany, it's on GPL, and it's in the repositories of most popular distributions. So perhaps it's a rite of passage that now I have one I very much like. People were doing that to each other deliberately!
#GEANY DOCUMENTATION SOFTWARE#
I was quite shocked that a piece of software could have so many sadomasochistic overtones. I learned this many years ago in the computer labs at university trying to figure out Emacs. And when it gets in the way or won't do quite what you want? In that exact moment, that's the most frustrating thing in the world.Īnd I know what it means to really hate a text editor. Doing dev or admin work means you're spending a lot of time with a text editor. One thing I recall from these years in the wilderness was how strange it was to watch open source types get so worked up about text editors. I have to admit, it took me a rather embarrassingly long time to really get into Linux as a daily driver.

I have left the preference enabled but I go out of my way (?) to use an alternative editor (pluma, leafpad, bluefish) for quick OpenWith edits from within filemanager. Depending on your usage, UNticking the “Load files from last session” preference may be the sane choice if you intend to utilize the geany “Projects” feature. The details of your current geany sesssion haven’t yet been saved (so can’t be captured by the persist operation)Ĭonfusingly (for me), the “state” of saved geany projects has repeatedly wound up being overwritten by opening/closing additional instances of geany. In live-session, if you perform an on-demand “persist-save” operation while geany is open, consider: Upon closing that newest geany instance, the details (fileset and scrollto marks) of THAT instance become the “last saved” geany session state. When you duck into ControlCenter for a quick edit of your session startup file (e.g. If you are working on a set of files in geany (maybe geany is minimized at the moment and you’re not even thinking about)… In the antiX control center, notice that some (but not all) items invoke a new geany instance (for config file editing, and whatnot). In the mapage, notice that geany can be invoked using -i, which serves to launch a new geany instance. If you assign the current set of documents to a named project, on-demand you can “Project}}Close” followed by “Project}}Open” to establish an updated session state for that project (without exiting geany), regardless whether or not the “Load files from last session” preference is enabled. The saved state even marks/reapplies the scrollto position within each document. If you click “Project” in geany toolbar (and read the geany docs), you’ll understand that we can declare a set of currently opened files as a project and that we can switch between filesets (projects) on-the-fly while using geany. If you click “Edit}}Preferences” in geany toolbar, you’ll notice that “Load files from last session” is checkmarked by default. The current behavior defeats the purpose of a saved session state, as the time you really need it is when your laptop crashes. Geany should save session state either on a timed basis, or whenever anything significant changes (such as opening or closing tabs) Geany saves its session state only when it shuts down cleanly of its own accord when killed by a logout or reboot (or worse) its session restore returns it to an earlier state. (will probably wind up marked “ is a feature, not a bug“)Įxcerpt from a longstanding open bug report package Because we are able to launch multiple concurrent instances of geany, the following quoted “bug” will probably never be fixed.
