    Nice video, here also a Geany user for several years now. I go with very similar settings to you, one that I would suggest is Preferences -> Editor -> Features -> Disable Drag and Drop, which is something I find useless and problematic. I did not know the Git plugin, now using it!

    Yeah, Geany is dope. Underrated for sure. I use MX Linux on my work PC and Laptop so I see it all the time but outside of there I never see it mentioned.

    I really love Geany. It's native, fast, rock solid yet underrated. I'm a web developer and it really really does the job. Awesome IDE.

    Lua is an embedded scripting language used in a lot of programs and games. e.g. VLC, WoW, Minetest, Nmap, Adobe CC etc, etc. The Geany plug-in ads language support like syntax highlighting and stuff.

    I'm Geany user for a very long time. I'm using it for C, PHP, JS, HTML and Java.
    I like that when you hold control button and drag vertically you can select text vertically or edit multiple lines.

    How did you make your geany background transparent?

      In this situation, I set the opacity in the hyprland configuration to 0.85.

    VIM, I haven't been using it long, but I don't find it hard. Whenever I dig into a new tiling WM, I learn more. Maybe that's why it's fun...

    Yep, UNDERRATED!!
    I see you are on Debian 12 Trixie (testing), but I am only brave enough to run Bookworm with backports. Since the apt repo only offers 1.38 and flatpak has 2.0, which version Geany would you recommend? Or, is it time to look at Trixie?

    This is a great video! I especially like the transparent look you got on hyprland(or bspwm?), I find geany to be a really good text editor and ide. although I find it slightly easier to use KATE from the KDE suite. It is preinstalled with any plasma enironment and it is based on qt, so whenever I use a compositor I also can make Kate transparent with the help of kvantum. Kate has the same features as Geany. I would say Kate and Geany are twin brothers. Equally cool

    I was also a Geany user for years. And I use it until now. But I have to change to VSCode because of LSP and Intelephense for PHP code linter. 😢 I tried several times to make intelephense work on Geany, but I don't understand the process.

    • @creativapixelperu
      @creativapixelperu 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Exactly, the same thing happens to me. I think that if it had that functionality with PHP and javascript it would take a big leap. I don't want to leave geany :(

    Geany was my primary editor I would work in every day from 2008 to about 2015 when I switched to VS code for the more powerful tools.
    I still have geany around for if I need to open and edit a single file quickly.

    Nice review. Two things, Vim mode doesn't seem to work with geany 1.38. Second, do you know how to change the palette colors of the terminal? or colorscheme? It only allows changing background and forground colors

  • @zehph
    @zehph 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Personally not my cup of tea, I prefer a terminal centric workflow and have spent a some time making neovim and kitty look and work the way I want, but this looks really cozy for people that prefer GUI editors.
    I am quite interested in this tiling window manager setup, looks like hyprland, I wanted to try it on Ubuntu, but haven’t found a reliable way to set it up yet.

    I just got a new laptop that pretty modern (i7 14th Gen, 32GB RAM, N-Vidia graphics card) to replace my current laptop (Intel i5-1035G1 (8) @ 3.600GHz 12GB RAM) but I still want to keep this laptop around as a back up or if I want to dev and can't/don't want to bring my new laptop. I'm going to install lubuntu on it and install geany with your settings here because this will be a good replacement for VSCode in a pinch when I don't want a memory hog slowing down my machine.

      You probably already know about l3afpad, but it is in the debian packages. Very light. Hasn't been touched since 2015. Assuming you want an editor outside of command line.

    I want to try Geany but wonder if you could help me with something. I use ZSH and would like to, when I press F5, that Geany opens zsh to execute my python code. I have tried a few times to set this but there is very little information on how to get it working.
    This: zsh -e "/usr/bin/zsh %c"
    is not working. Any ideas? Thanks! :)

    • @JustAGuyLinux
      @JustAGuyLinux  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Couple things and not sure zsh has anything to do with it.
      First thing, I generally don't use the geany built-in terminal.
      So in the Preferences => Tools
      Under Terminal: tilix -e "/bin/sh %c"
      Second, assuming you have python installed and are working on a py file.
      Change the Build=> Set Build Commands
      Execute: python3 "%f" (changed from python "%f")
