Compile time options

There are some options which can only changed at compile time. To change these options, look into src/geany.h to change these settings. To find it, look for a block of lines starting with “#define GEANY_*”.

Table 3.3. Compile time options

OptionDescriptionDefault
GEANY_MAX_OPEN_FILESThe limit how many files can be open at the same time.25
GEANY_SESSION_FILESHow many files should be reopened from the last run. Obviously, the value should be smaller than GEANY_MAX_OPEN_FILES.15
GEANY_WORDCHARSThese characters define the word boundaries.(look at sourcecode)
GEANY_MAX_AUTOCOMPLETE_WORDSHow many auto complete suggestions should Geany provide.30
GEANY_STRING_UNTITLEDA string used as name for new files. Be aware that the string can be translated, so change it only if you know what you are doing.untitled
