Questions[geany](ubuntu)

I have a plain text file with a large number of lines with a blank line between each pair of lines. I want to remove the empty lines.

I am trying using the Replace dialog with regex, to replace '\n\n' with '\n', but the search does not recognize '\n' as the new line character.

In the Files pane of the Preferences dialog, the 'default end of line character' is set to Unix (LF) and with 'View/Show Line Endings', each line is terminated with a 'LF' icon -- or what looks to me to be an icon.

I have tried \p and \r but they don't work either.

It is a plain text file so I know there are other approaches to removing the blank lines, but I am interested in what's going on here with geany. How could I do this using the geany replace dialog?

Update I can get a match using $ as the search key but the replace all does not replace the endline character, it instead inserts before it.

I am using Konsole as a terminal to contribute to wikimedia pages. I use Konsole because unlike most terminal emulators it supports CTL (complex text layout) so I can clearly read my language (Tamil) in Konsole. The default terminal of Geany is not so good. I want to change the default terminal. How can I do that?

I was stuck in Geany in fullscreen mode and unable to get out. All the suggestions I found on websites were too complicated (for me). I finally discovered that by depressing the ALT key and the V key, the view menu opens and I was able to uncheck fullscreen mode. Problem solved.

This appears to be the way one sees menus while in fullscreen mode: ALT + , e.g., File Edit View etc.

When coding with Geany, I often have quite long lines. I want them to wrap automatically, so that I don`t have to scroll horizontally to see what I've written.

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04, I am a big fan of Geany, but now i don't have the terminal at the base of the window. I have tried to change the terminal preferences, without success. any ideas?
