Configuration files for Geany

[Deleted]

Updated configuration files for Geany are attached. All you need to do is place the files in usr/share/geany directory and reload Geany's configuration. Different colors are used for BaCon keywords (including BEEP and SHUT), HUG and my turtle graphics library. The command for compile button is set to bacon %f, but can be easily modified.

If someone is already using Geany with BaCon, these files may be useful. If someone is thinking about trying a new editor, Geany is, in my opinion, a good option.

Added new and some missing commands. Just replace filetypes.Bacon.conf in usr/share/geany with a new version.

Hey,

That worked great! I didn't think it worked at first but then I set up my project files like you said and then saved my project in Geany as a .bac file and Bingo!

Thanks!


How do I use the compile/build/split particles feater again?

You can use Set Build Command option from the menu and set actions as you want. The command for compile is set to bacon %f and the command for run is set to ./%e. You can change them as you want. %f is replaced with a file name with an extension (in practice - your source code), %e with a filename without an extension (compiled executable).

Geany worked out great Tomaaz. I was able to compile my app just fine, thanks for this file.

I've never used Geany and I understand that some might like it, but I'm wondering why it would be preferred over Bacongui, which has syntax highlighting etc and a shell (which I assume is NOT available if using another editor such as Geany).

[konaexpress]

I think it is because geany has more options and features. I have used bothe in the past and I like Geany a lot but Bacongui was made for BaCon, it just works with it. It's a matter of choice in the end.

Dear all,

I will tell you why I use Geany (or could be any editor, for that matter). I write in several languages, so I want something that I am used to in all of them. Also, when programming in BaCon, I often have other docs open in the editor (svgs, data files etc.), and work on them all because they are all related to the task at hand. Also, Geany can do regex based searches and replaces and search for things like newline or tab. When I click on the compile button in Geany, it runs a special script I use for optimizing the resulting binary by stripping out unnecessary things and dealing with other settings related to gcc. As editors go, Vim does even more, but I don't really know it. Peter does, and uses it. What I use BaCon gui for is for testing functions etc. in the shell. It is very convenient for that sort of business.

It's nice that we have choices

With kind regards,
vovchik

1. It supports other languages. I use Geany for all languages I have ever tried and think that it's the most comfortable option to have one editor for BaCon, Lua, HTML, JavaScript and PHP.

1. It has many more features and options.

You can configure Geany the way that one button will convert, compile, automatically run your code and display the result in the bottom panel. Of course different actions (anything you want) can be set to other buttons. You can use external terminal or the one that is build in and available as an option in a bottom panel. No-one is forcing anyone to use Geany, but a choice is better than no choice. I made this configuration file for myself and, when it was done, said to myself "Why not to share it?", so I did.
