A notepad.exe replacement in 6,144 bytes.
Particularly notable because its configuration is done through an external program which directly modifies the THEGUN.EXE binary.
I tossed this in with my portable applications. It's tiny, and I figure it's one of those "just in case" sort of applications.

Particularly easy to use and featureful. I consider this an essential tool, but usually forget it exists.

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..
TODO - make a proper page
