Geany 1.32 What happend to the open file by typing the Location












0















I just upgraded to ubuntu 18.04. When I go to open a file in Geany I need to follow the graphical paths and can no longer type a location. When there are 100 folders in a folder it is easer to type.

A location bar will appear. If you type a path, Geany will even provide auto-completion.

    I use the VTE (embeded terminal) to open file(s) easily :




    • hit <f4> to get focus on the VTE

    • type :


      • geany path/to/directory/with/files/inside/*

      • or geany path/to/file.ext (use ″tab` like in a standard terminal to complete path)



    • hit <f2> to go back to editor : file(s) are now open in tab(s)


    Easy & fast !
