At startup, Geany loads the 15 first files from the last time,
|
||
<span class="application">Geany</span> was launched. You can disable this feature in the
|
||
preferences dialog(see <a href="ch03s05.html#confdialog_gen" title="Figure 3.2. General tab in preferences dialog">Figure 3.2, “General tab in preferences dialog”</a>). If you specify some files on
|
||
the commandline, only these files will be opened. But you can find the files from the
|
||
last session in the file menu. There is an item "Recent files". It contains the last
|
||
15 recently opened files. It may be that Geany not exactly loads 15 files, this depends
|
||
on the compile time option GEANY_SESSION_FILES, the default is 15. For details see
|
||
<a href="ch03s05.html#cto" title="Compile time options">the section called “Compile time options”</a>.

|
||
If a C file(with extension is c, cpp, h, etc.) is opened, a global tags file is
|
||
loaded once, which contains many function declarations from the glibc and some other
|
||
libraries, like X, Bonobo, Gnome, GTK, Glib and so on. These declarations are used
|
||
for call tips and auto completion. These tags are only useful if you are writing
|
||
C or C++ source code. So if you know, that you do not need these things, you can skip
|
||
loading this tag file. To do so, start <span class="application">Geany</span> with the
|
||
argument "-n" or "--no-ctags", for more information see <a href="ch03s02.html" title="Commandline options">the section called “Commandline options”</a>.
|
||
</p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="vte"></a>Virtual terminal emulator widget (VTE)</h3></div></div></div><p>
|
||
If you have installed <code class="filename">libvte.so</code> in your system, it is loaded
|
||
automatically by <span class="application">Geany</span>. Then you have a terminal widget
|
||
in the notebook at the bottom.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
If <span class="application">Geany</span> cannot find <code class="filename">libvte.so</code> at
|
||
startup, the terminal widget will not be loaded. So there is no need to install the
|
||
package containing this file in order to run <span class="application">Geany</span>.
|
||
Additionally, you can disable the use of the terminal widget by commandline option,
|
||
for more information see <a href="ch03s02.html" title="Commandline options">the section called “Commandline options”</a>.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
You can use this terminal (from now on called VTE) nearly as an usual terminal program
|
||
like xterm. There is a basic clipboard support. You can paste the content
|
||
of the clipboard by pressing the middle mouse button in the VTE (on 2-button mice,
|
||
the middle button can often be simulated by pressing both mouse buttons together) or by
|
||
pressing the right mouse button to open the popup menu and choose Paste.
|
||
To copy text from the VTE, just select the desired text and then press the
|
||
right mouse button and choose Copy from the popup menu.
|
||
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>Geany tries to load <code class="filename">libvte.so</code>. If this fails, it tries to
|
||
load <code class="filename">libvte.so.4</code>. If this fails too, you should check whether
|
||
you installed libvte correctly. Again, Geany runs also without this library.
|
||
But it could be, that the library is called something else than
|
||
<code class="filename">libvte.so.4</code> (e.g. on FreeBSD 6.0 it is called
|
||
<code class="filename">libvte.so.8</code>). So please set a link to the correct file (as root).
|
||
</p><pre class="screen"><code class="prompt">#</code> <strong class="userinput"><code><span><strong class="command">ln -s /usr/lib/libvte.so.X /usr/lib/libvte.so.4</strong></span></code></strong></pre><p>
|
||
Obviously, you have to adjust the paths and set X to the number of your
|
||
<code class="filename">libvte.so</code>.
