It would be nice to have some feature in geany that supports reftex,
something similar to the reftex package of emacs. I know that this would
probably be hard to implement, but how about adding bibtex commands to the
"Build" menu for tex-files?

    Hi,

    A first support for \ref{} and \label{} was implemented with release 0.2 of geanylatex plugin with a little dialogs inside for helping here. A basic support for bibtex was added to geany-plugins/geanylatex subversion with r303, most with supporting choosing the correct information. There is still some place for improvement, but feedback of users is missing at the moment. Can you might have a look onto this and give some more feedback, what needs to be implemented or improved?

    Sure, I would be happy to do that. Only one thing: is there no apt repo to get geany-plugins? I'm on Ubuntu and I prefer apt to download stuff (rather than sourceforge). I noticed that geany-plugins is neither in the ubuntu repos nor in debget.net.

    I can post a request on launchpad to update geany in the ubuntu repos but I was wondering if you could put geany-plugins into debget.net. (They currently have geany 0.15 but no plugins.)

    Sorry, it's getdeb.net :)

    b_koenig: There is no source release of geany-plugins yet, but we hope to release one sometime. After that any packaging is up to distro maintainers. (If someone wanted to, they could make a package from SVN, but it's not ideal.)

    I have tested the new geany 0.18 and tried to use it for TeXing. It's almost as good as Emacs now with "re-flowing" and the auto-completion might be even better than Emacs. What is still missing is something like the "RefTex" feature in Emacs. Something that automatically detects the bib-file corresponding to the tex-file and gives access to the entries of that bib-file, e.g. I want to be able to search for entries and on "ENTER", it should automatically insert a "\cite{xyz}" command into the tex-file.
    Something similar could be done with label and stuff that is referred to by "\ref{xyz}"-commands.

    Just a suggestion.
