advice2020 created an issue (geany/geany-plugins#1559) ISSUE 1 Geany allows users to add various visual indicators for user to keep track of where they are in a document. The problem is is that due to Geany not providing a way / limitations of "txt" based format, there is not a way for user to save any of these visual indicators within their files to be able to recall them at a later time.
ISSUE 2 Geany automatically opens up with the caret/view at the top, which makes sense. However sometimes it would be nice if the caret location would get saved with the document, this way when you open the document again it would leave off in the location you were last working on. Tricky because both of these behaviors are desired but obviously could only use one at a time. VISUALLY INDICATORS DESIRED TO SAVE (Tricky because Geany I think uses the same terminology for "marks") -Line number "Marks" = Plus + signs added in left margin -Word "Marks" = Word highlighting that remains until user removes (probably not as important to save as Line number "Marks" if these are too complex to save) -Caret location (mentioned in ISSUE 2 above) (Tricky because not all users will want this indicator saved) I was trying to think of a solution for how visual indicators could be saved. I have some ideas for script tools but first I would have to know if certain things are even possible to achieve. I was wondering if maybe this information could be manually generated and saved to a specified text file, to then be recalled later and applied back to a file when it is opened again? Does anyone know if Geany/GeanyLua would have the ability to "output" the line number locations of the "visual indicators" I mentioned above, into a text file where they could be saved. But then also would there be a way to recall this line number / visual indicator data from that text file and then apply it back the text file they were generated from? -Line number "Marks" = yes or no? -Word "Marks" = yes or no? (again not as important as the others) -Line number caret is in = yes or no? Because I don't think Geany actually saves this line number data even temporarily while document is opened, it does not seem that this would be possible. I did a keyword search for "mark" in the GeanyLua documentation but did not see anything that seemed to relate to this question either.
