A Geany plugin designed to enhance document management by allowing users to pin documents to a sidebar tab. This feature is particularly useful for users working with many multiple open documents, as it enables them to add selected filenames to a list for easy access. Users can then simply click on a filename in the list to switch to that document.
The plugin will add two items to the Geany tools menu:
Pin Document
Unpin Document
The list is not persistent and will be cleared when you exit Geany. To clear it manually, right click on it and left-click on "Clear".
When the plugin is enabled, keybindings to pin and unpin documents can be changed from the Geany preferences menu.
meson setup builddir -Dprefix=/usr
cd builddir
ninja
sudo ninja install
This will build the plugin and install it to '/usr/lib/geany'. You may change
the prefix if desired. Use meson configure
in the builddir to see other
build options. See the Meson Build docs for more
information about using Meson.
