I also have a more detailed instruction at the GitHub project on how to install these files and what have been enhanced. I have posted them on GitHub for version control and for anyone interested to contribute to it. So I created some supplement files to enhance Geany in coding of HTML/CSS/JS (required some manual works with Copy-n-Paste and some regular-expression search-replace). But if you use a command like python3 or a full path like C:Python35python to start a terminal session, youll have to modify Geany slightly so it uses the correct version of Python to run your. Thanks to its current support of extra configuration files, I found it is relatively easy to fix some issues of its current syntax highlighting and add some automatic code completion for a specific language. If you use the simple command python to start a terminal session on your system, you shouldnt have to configure Geany at all. The more I use Geany, the more potential I think it has. I'm not bashing SublimeText but as someone who advocates open source, I'm determined to embrace Geany, and you should give Geany some favors too. But it is not free (as in free speech and free beer). It has been ported to a wide range of operating systems, such as BSD, Linux. It is designed to have short load times, with limited dependency on separate packages or external libraries on Linux. ![]() I have to admit that SublimeText is more elegant, stylish, and has better syntax highlighting in some cases. Geany ( IPA :dini 4 JEE-NEE) is a free and open-source lightweight GUI text editor 5 using Scintilla and GTK, including basic IDE features. For JavaScript and front-end stuff in particular, they both have some support for code hinting and auto completion but fairly limited. Added a page to the info area at the bottom of Geany, which will be used to display the stack and local variables or watches in future. Usability: add the possibilty to set keyboard shortcuts. Usability: add a menu entry to the Geany menubar. Both of them are cross platform, lightweight, fast and has syntax highlighting for quite a number languages. This plugin is now consistently called GeanyGDB, the Unix name is geanygdb (lowercase). The former is commercial and the latter is opensource. Then I discovered SublimeText 2 and Geany. Most JS editors I tried were Java-based, heavy and code assistance is as not good as I expected. (In case you're wondering, I have made a Wine mod of FD4 and been able to run it on Linux). When I started doing JavaScript, I kept searching for an ideal JS code editor that is free, lightweight and fast just like FlashDevelop, my favorite ActionScript counter part.
