I am new to Ubuntu. I have used Sublime Text. I have realized that after I open Sublime Text from the Terminal, if I close the terminal the application keeps running. The same isn't true for other applications like geany

After I open the application from terminal, when I close the terminal the application also closes. I have tried &exit
like geany &exit
. But this isn't what I am looking for.
How can I keep geany
running even after I close it?

in each directory the application is being run from.From the man page:
