While primarily a text editor for programmers, Geany is still by all means a text editor. Geany is a GTK based application and supports Windows, Linux, macOS and many BSDs. One feature which I liked was that it loaded the previous session (all tabs/files), which saves you some time.
The Edit > Preferences section has more options for tweaking the interface. This menu also houses options to change the font, color, etc. Don't like the sidebar or the message bar, toolbar, menu bar or line numbers? You can disable these from the View menu for a very clean and distraction free experience, and maybe use it for some good old-fashioned text editing. There are a ton of themes (dark, light, colorful) for it that you can enable from the View settings. YoĪnother strong point of Geany is that it is highly customizable. The other plugin is Split Window which divides the editor pane into two which you may find useful to display two different codes side-by-side or compare different revisions of a single file. There are two GUI related plugins with File Browser probably being the more useful as it adds an option to browse files to the left sidebar. You can enable autosave, instant save, back up copy by using the Save Actions plugin. There is status tab which shows the activity log, a compiler tab which displays whether your code is fine, a messages tab, and a scribble tab for notes. The panels at the bottom of the screen are what I found interesting. You can manage your Projects from the Project toolbar and find all files of a project listed by the editor so that you may select them when the need arises. Speaking of which, the Document menu has various formatting tools from line breaking, wrapping, indentation, programming file type (language selection), encoding among other options. You can use the find in files option from the Search menu to search for text in documents. The edit menu lets you perform various functions including inserting comments, tags or dates. This obviously requires the platform you're coding in to be installed, for e.g. You can compile the code right from the application and click on the execute button to run it. Apart from the standard options, the toolbar has a revert button for reloading the current document. There is a menu bar at the top of the screen and a toolbar right below it. The large pane on the right side is the editor and it has line numbers like any programmer friendly editor this pane has a tab bar at the top, which you can use to switch from one document to another.
The program's interface has two side-panels, one for symbols and one for Documents (tree-style).
