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.

Zenity infobox

https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/Zenity?action=show&redirect=Zenity [ 1 ] was http://live.gnome.org/Zenity
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Zenity

A program to present a GUI dialog, that lets a scripter get user input.

I didn't use this for anything notable enough to form an opinion. It seems nice, but I didn't want to have yet another application, especially one with a dependency, when there's something commandline already (dialog).

See also:

  • YAD - a fork of Zenity with some dependencies removed.

I don't really care about this, but I do use it occasionally to cut apart videos.

Quite straightforward to use for simple video editing and appending. It took me almost no time to learn.

Good for transcoding and merging audio into video.

  • I use avidemux_gtk

    • there is also avidemux2_cli

The current god of file managers.

It's bloody amazing, and does so much "just right". I can tell that the author has his head on straight. It ought to be the default in every Linux distribution which uses GTK+.
