I'd like to share a more full-fledged script I've put together for launching all my Geany processes, inspired from all these answers. Turns out there are many "gotchas" trying to handle all cases/params correctly.
https://gist.github.com/gkatev/f477f7f4bb0cfb2151cbfb7d6de0a511
Main features:
- Open in window in the same workspace, or open a new window
- Open in most recently focused Geany window, if multiple are open
Configuration:
- Install as .local/bin/geany or similar.
- You may have to alter $GEANY_PATH.
- Check the script for dependencies (wmctrl, xprop, ps, ss, GNU getopt)
Here is the current version of the script, but be sure to also check on the gist above for any updates.

[ -z "$XDG_CACHE_HOME" ] &&
