Description:

Geany is a small and lightweight integrated development environment. it was developed to provide a small and fast ide, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. it is using only the gtk2 toolkit and therefore you need only the gtk2 runtime libraries to run geany.

the basic features of geany are:
- syntax highlighting
- code completion
- auto completion of constructs like if, for and while, xml and html
- call tips
- folding
- many supported filetypes like c, java, php, html, python, perl, pascal
- symbol lists
- embedded terminal emulation
