http://askubuntu.com – I'm new to geany IDE. I installed geany from ubuntu software centre, and the window has no options other than opening a new file. I can't file any preference, tools option too for configuring. I heard it is a full fledged IDE. Also, from the screenshots available from the software center, it seems my Geany installation is missing almost everything. I'm not able to post the screenshots, but my interface just has 3 buttons. create a new file, open an existing file and a quit button. Everything else is inactive. I accidentally closed the sidepane, and I can't find any options to bring back tha (HowTos)

Stories similar to Installed geany has no options

While learning Programming we do need tools to make our work simpler. One such tool is Geany which is basically a text editor with IDE like features, and focuses on simplicity rather than features. It supports a variety of languages which include (but not limited to) C, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, Python, Perl, Ruby, Pascal and Haskell.

Geany is a fast and lightweight text editor and IDE for Linux. Geany 1.22 was released recently with many new features.

Geany comes with a few plugins installed by default, however there are many other useful plugins maintained by community.

Using Geany in Fedora 18 (GNOME), when I create a text file and save it, the "Type" shown in Files is "Binary," and when I go back and open the file with either Geany of Gedit, I can't read the contents.

If I use Geany to edit an existing text file, then save it, there's no problem.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

I just installed Kubuntu 13.04 normally from a DVD. Then, using Synaptics Package Manager, I installed geany and its plugins, which I have been using for years now).

Hi all,i like the thunar + gigolo combo to browse FTP files in my server but i want more ^^I want to be able to modify this files via geany. As far as i know this is possible innautilus because u mount the files in the .gfvs directory.

I actually want to change the default text editor on my Ubuntu 12.04 from nano to Geany. When I used this code:

update-alternatives --config editor

Docky and Geany V1.22 5 weeks 6 days ago

..hmm, no replies. I guess its something peculiar to my install then. Anyway, no need for an IDE at the moment so Geany is removed. Still curious as to how opening Geany would kill Docky though..

Changing Geany themes 14 weeks 7 hours ago

Hi all,I'm trying to download and install darker Geany colour themes but I can't seem to make it work. (The Geany info is a little opaque to me) and I'm wondering if anyone using the default Geany of #! has changed their colour themes.How did you do it?

Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general. I come from Mac OS X Leopard. After the switch, I downloaded Geany (or maybe it came already installed, can't remember), and tried to resume my work. I created a new project, selected the right base directory, but nothing happened, by which I mean that Geany did not load any of the files in the base directory.
