The best way to get those braces in Geany on an N810 is to click 'NEW' and choose C++ source file. Then it gives you a basic template with open and close braces for the main function. Then you copy and paste. It's annoying...but...cheaper than a bluetooth keyboard.

My problem is that I can't get xterm to stay open after compiling and running a hello world thing. It say compiled correctly, then launches xterm, but it disappears right away.

Any Ideas?
