Or if you are in a 64 bit system: git config -global core.editor \ "'C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin" Note the direction of the slashes! Use / NOT \ to separate folders in the path name! git config -global core.editor \ (not that with the core.editor configuration mechanism, a script with " start /WAIT." in it would not work, but only open a new DOS window)īennett's answer mentions the possibility to avoid adding a script, but to reference directly the program itself between simple quotes. It just works from the DOS session, but not from the git shell. If I define a npp.bat including: "c:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %*Īnd I type: C:\prog\git>git config -global core.editor C:\prog\git\npp.bat "c:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %*: c:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe: command not foundĮrror: There was a problem with the editor '"c:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %*'. That always gives: C:\prog\git>git config -global -edit Git config -global core.editor "\"c:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe\" %*" I prefer to not have to set an EDITOR variable, so I tried: git config -global core.editor "\"c:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe\"" I just tested it with git version 1.6.2.msysgit.0.186.gf7512 and Notepad++5.3.1 Terminal and get rid of it when the editor returns, if the terminal Print a message that Git is waiting for editor input in the original To interact with another window before Git can proceed.

If you want to find all the instances of text in multiple files before you replace them, you can select Search -> Find from the Geany menu, and the file names and line numbers of the lines in the files containing the search term will appear in a list in the bottom pane of the Geany window. This is the way to replace text in multiple files in Geany. From the Geany menu select File -> Close All and close Geany, or select File -> Quit.From the Geany menu select File -> Save All.In this example I have chosen to globally replace the string "search-text" by the string "replace-text". Under the Replace All section select In Session as shown in the picture below. From the Geany menu select Search -> Replace.Select all the files that you want to edit, and open them with Geany.Now that you have all the files that you need opened in a single session of Geany, press Ctrl+ H to open the Replace dialog, insert the text to find, insert the text to replace and press In Session button: To open all files, in which a specific string is found, from inside of a directory (and subdirectories) open Geany, select Terminal tab from Message Window and run next command inside: grep -rHIF -exclude='/directory_path/*~' - 'text_to_find' /bin/bash /directory_path/* | geany `awk 'BEGIN '` I think the second way is better for the moment. You can do this by waiting for a plugin to appear in this sense, or by using the terminal.
