Issues

I want home `end` to go to the start/end of the display line and to use `alt-home` alt-end to go to the true start/end of the line.
- I can't do that because there is no keybinding for "go to start of display line". It's alt-home by default.

Review

Probably early to mid-2010.

As part of my exploration into the chain of trust with all the tools I use, I've been disconnecting myself from programs which have a large number of dependencies. I was originally very interested.. ok I'll admit that I had a piece of shit computer and that it was mandatory that I find light programs. So I did just that! I ended up needing to flee from bloated monstrosities like KDE, and consideration of dependencies was just the next step.

So here I was, going through my text editor notes, deciding that I'd try once more to find a text editor which suited me. I need crazy things like syntax highlighting, tabbed editing and code folding. I actually did find something nice I had stuck on Windows but I didn't remember its name so I decided to check out Geany. I'm glad I did!

Geany is a GTK2 (GUI) text editor which is light and featureful. Here is a sampling of features from their about page:

Syntax highlighting
Code folding
Symbol name auto-completion
Construct completion/snippets
Auto-closing of XML and HTML tags
Call tips

I did later check out their dark theme, and it's just fine. I also did quite a lot of other customization and use some of their plugins too..
