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

This is a editor that does such magical things as use control up/down to skip paragraphs. I love it for in-page bookmarking, code folding, search-replace, escaped-replaces and regular expressions for selections, documents and groups of documents.

  • The package geany-plugins is important..

  • I also (sometimes) use Leafpad.

A plugin to let you insert text mid-sentence, and have it be turned into a link leading to the text instead placed at the bottom of the page.

Easy to use and really nice!

    • The author commented that he is not a programmer and that he needs assistance for his ideas. I know exactly how he feels.
    • As of 2021-02-26 this situation has not changed.
    • 2024-07-17 – Abandoned – The WordPress plugin page states this plugin is closed by the author’s request; RIP.

  • 2.1.3 had a serious vulnerability so I was forced to update; I’ll look for a replacement and maintained footnotes plugin.

A classic/vanilla World of Warcraft private server with additional modifications.

While it looks like it has hope, it fails because there are no quest markers on the minimap, so I don’t know where to find quests. I don’t want to re-live that part of things.

  • 2024-11-29 – It was nuked by Blizzard at some point, but came back up again.
