Customized Geany IDE

Geany (IPA:ʒeːniː[citation needed]) is a lightweight GUI text editor[3] using Scintilla and GTK+, including basic IDE features. It is designed to have short load times, with limited dependency on separate packages or external libraries on Linux. It has been ported to a wide range of operating systems, such as BSD, Linux, macOS,[4] Solaris and Windows. The Windows port lacks an embedded terminal window; also missing from the Windows version are the external development tools present under Unix, unless installed separately by the user.[5] Among the supported programming languages and markup languages are C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, LaTeX, CSS, Python, Perl, Ruby, Pascal, Haskell, Erlang, Vala and many others.[6]

In contrast to traditional Unix-based editors like Emacs or Vim, Geany more closely resembles programming editors common on Microsoft Windows such as Notepad++, which also uses Scintilla[7].

It is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL version 2 or later.[2] In 2012, the version number was increased to 1.22 from 0.21 to reflect the maturity of the product, as requested by many users.[8]
