A capable and fast programmer's editor.

It's capable and fast, but not being able to disable the recent files list is a killer for me.

Portable only, but it has an installer so you can easily right-click and open files in it.

A straightforward and capable Windows text editor which also has a portable version.

This seems like a nice daily driver for little things. I shouldn't replace Geany with it though since I want something cross-platform.

It's really stupid that it doesn't have configurable shortcuts unless I want to compile it from source.

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.

Read/write filesystem support for Android.

While it doesn't offer pure read/write access like you'd expect, this lets you mount things. You can use any other file manager (I use several most notably Total Commander and Ghost Commander), and it prompts to download the file.

Has a free version, but I don't know what the difference between that and the pay version is.
