You had suggested 2 possibilities, and I was just indicating that they would have come up empty. This would leave one unfamiliar with the other permutations no closer to finding what they wanted. >> Then again one could have done "dnf search geany" and scanned the >> results.

Doing a "dnf search geany" would have yielded a bunch of results of which 19 are "plugins" and the question was "Where did you find a pgp plugin for Geany?
