That would be interesting. I don't really have time to tackle that one. I haven't used Kate in ages. Is it cross platform? One reason I stick with Geany is that it is available on Mac, which is what my students use.
@@TokyoEdTech Yes it's also available on Mac. And as opposed to Geany it also has LSP support and that makes it future proof, while Geany will loose people because it's not very concerned with having support for LSP.
@@encapsulatio Thanks for the info - I'll give it a go! One thing I like about Geany is it is a very small download - 27MB for the Mac version. Kate is around 80MB. I remember trying to install Kate once on Gnome and had to install almost all of KDE. That looks like it is no longer the case. Will try it out - thanks!
@@encapsulatio I just spent about 10 minutes messing around - I tried python and java and couldn't figure out how to run the files. I use Geany with ages 11 and up - Kate is not very intuitive by comparison.
@@TokyoEdTech That only changes the color scheme of my editor window, where I type the code. Your toolbar is dark. Like it's dark where your compile button is. My is white and doesn't change with any color scheme I try.
I was curious how would Geany perform with python. I must say it is impressively convenient with that compile and build button. I would go with Geany, if it were not for Kate's features. I started to learn python right now, but if I want to use a lightweight IDE I go with Kate. It has to be set up to be like an IDE but its pretty simple, pip3 install jedi and pysl (for python), tick few boxes in Kate configuration(enable LSP Client, builtin konsole terminal (or make a quick kbd shortcut for running the code)), and it also supports git. Kate much like geany is very customizable, and as a KDE fan it's just my Kup of tea :) For learning I work with PyCharm. It's quite heavy but gives formatting corrective suggestions has a really good autocomplete, and provides debugging and tutorials. And both of them are much faster than VSCode :)
Great overview of Kate! Another reason I use Geany is that it is cross-platform. My students all use Mac laptops so I wanted to have something that worked on Mac and Linux so I could make videos on either system and they'd match.
Thanks, i might try this too i have one question, is it true the pip installation system is now considered non secure?? ive heard certain distributions dont really care for pip any more and um, do you need any dependencies, like pysmell or others listed on the kde website???
Can you please do a "How to install FFMPEG Module in python" tutorial? I've checked a lot of sites and videos and found nothing. Someone suggested a bunch of steps, and I gotta tell you all, Im not a computer wizard. (srry if ur the guy who suggested 8 steps, appreciate it but I don't know how to do what you said)
Hey Ed-sensei, thanks for this great video! I’d love to work in this IDE for my future projects, because it seems so lightweight and practical... but i have one problem though, I don’t know how change it to dark mode from light mode. Will you do a tutorial on how to change to dark mode from light mode somewhere in the future?
There are themes you can download - but the way you install them will vary from operating system to operating system. You can download them here: www.geany.org/download/themes/
how can I get markdown's internal links to open so i can edit those, too? I see the link in Markdown Preview, but when I click on them (options are Open Link and Open in new window), nothing happens. Once, somehow, it opened in the markdown preview pan, but the colors were off and I couldn't edit the file. I'd like a command to open it in another editor if possible.
im using windows and i have a folder saved on my computer when i use geany to create a python file i cannot save that file to the folder on my computer.
If you write (python) software with Geany does is fall under derivative work? Meaning all software written with Geany must be published under the GPL license?
Hello! Thank you for showing us, it worked for me with python, but it dont worked with java, so can u make a tutorial how to install Java correctly? Thankful for it

How is your IDE in Dark Mode? I can change my text box color scheme all day but I want to GUI to be dark.
In Geany go to View, then Color Scheme. You can then choose. However, you may need to download themes from here: www.geany.org/download/themes/
@@TokyoEdTech That only changes the color scheme of my editor window, where I type the code. Your toolbar is dark. Like it's dark where your compile button is. My is white and doesn't change with any color scheme I try.
That is determined by the OS. I'm using Ubuntu which has a dark mode option.

Can you start video series of html,css and javascript course?

Check under plugins - there is one called Split Window. Enable that then you can split the windows (in the Tools menu).

hi how are you doing Tokyo membership going well

Oh... I might try... I actually use multiple text editors... more options are better than one... 😏

Nope - you can do whatever you want with your code. If you want to update Geany itself and distribute it, then it is covered under the GPL.

I'm curious about this one too. I did some Googling and there was a plugin for debugging at one point, but I don't know if it is active anymore.
Accidentalmente cerre Geany y perdí el código. Hay alguna forma de recuperarlo?
Sorry, I don't think so.
Lo siento. Creo que no es posible.
i kept thinking this was adam savage cause of your voice
I wish!
What computer are you using?
If you mean the hardware, there is an affiliate link in the description. If you mean the operating system, Ubuntu. LINK: ubuntu.com/desktop
Your syncthing wants your attention
Haha - it's persistent!
Did it supports for windos 7 lenenovo i2 2 gb 32gb
It's one of the most lightweight text editors around - it will definitely work on your system.
can u code c# in this ide?
I believe so, but I haven't tried it yet myself.
@@TokyoEdTech ah thanks
No worries.
it's need more plugin like emmet, prettier, lint, and tabnine
It is a bit more limited compared to other projects, but for beginners it has everything they need.
Whenever I run it on terminal it says "python not found"
EDIT: IT worked after changing to python 3.
Thanks for tutorial 💚
Glad you got it sorted... Enjoy Geany!!!
It is just recently I discovered this and I can say bye bye to Notepad++ biased activism and terrible practice of introducing bugs so the users can see the activism!
