INSTALL GEANY THEMES SOFTWARE

Like most software these days, you can tweak Geany so that it's to your liking. Geany doesn't come with a spelling checker out of the box, but you can add one.

I haven't tried that, if only because I have other templates that I use. Most of the templates are for writing software, although there are templates for HTML, HTML5, and LaTeX documents, too. Select an item from the left column and click the New (with Template). In the window that displays, click Customize Toolbar. You can also remove toolbar buttons you don't use by right clicking on the toolbar and selecting Toolbar Preferences.

When I mentioned that I was writing this post, a few people asked me why I was looking at a developer's editor when I advocate using simple text editors. Since it's been quite some time since I've used it, so I recently decided to give Geany another look. Despite being aimed at developers, Geany was for years the editor I used when working on LaTeX documents. While I haven't written a lot about Geany, I'm not unfamiliar with it. And when readers didn't see their favourite editor in an article, they suggested I include it.īesides the usual suspects, one editor that kept popping up was Geany. well, a lot of text editors over the years. In my work on The Plain Text Project and for, I've looked at.
