Python Snippets

The Python snippets are inspired by Gedit. They can be downloaded at http://download.geany.org/contrib/python_snippets.conf. Just copy the part from [Python] downwards into your ~/.geany/snippets.conf. Further on you have to uncomment 'wordchars' and add a dot after the equals sign. Alternatively you can copy line 20 from the downloaded snippets.conf.

Set Geany Colors

John Gabriele wrote a tool to set up nice syntax highlighting color schemes. You can download it at http://www.unexpected-vortices.com/jmg/files/set_geany_colors.tar.bz2. Ray Griffin wrote an installer for it that also installs the Config-Tiny perl module it depends on - note that it deletes any ~/tmp folder.

Darko has written an awesome online color scheme editor, available at http://geany.pdarko.co.cc

Ruby on Rails extras for Geany

Dawid Fatyga created some extras for Geany for better support of Ruby on Rails. These extras contain some snippets and Railscasts' TextMate theme ported to Geany.

The package can be found at http://student.agh.edu.pl/~fatyga/geany_on_rails.tar.gz

Alternative C++ improvements

Kevin Pors contributed a changed filetypes.cpp to make the syntax highlighting colors look more like those of GVim and he changed the default set of keywords (primary keywords are builtin types, secondary are statements).

Download the alternative filetype definition file

Note, that you need Geany 0.19 or newer (the SVN version) for this to work.
