Geany Mktags

Solves the problem that “geany -g” can only create tag files for one language at a time, but there may be multiple source code languages present in a project. This script runs “geany -g” with the correct parameters to generate tag files for all supported languages for the source files encountered in the current directory tree.

Compare files

Compares the current file to any open file using an external tool (Meld, Kompare, KDiff, etc, falling back to plain diff). If the current file is unsaved, then a snapshot is saved to a temporary file, so it is possible to compare unsaved changes to other files (or even compare to the saved version of the file).

The intent of this script is to provide a replacement for the Notepad++ Compare plugin.

Hex edit

Allows hex editing of binary files. This creates a 'shadow' file containing the hexadecimal representation of the file, and synchronises with the original when the shadow is saved.

The intent of this script is to provide a replacement for the Notepad++ Hex Editor plugin.

Multi-clipboard support

Use multiple clipboards for copying and pasting text.

Suggested usage is to add both scripts to hotkeys.cfg, then attach the 'copy' script to Ctrl+c (because the script also copies to the regular clipboard) and the 'paste' script to Ctrl+Shift+V.
