Pros: The amount of memory consumed is ~40-60 MB (depending on plugins). Opening an entire file 30 million lines long - yes (neither Pycharm, nor VSCode, nor Atom, nor Sublime can do this...). Run the code in a separate window of a real system terminal - yes. Launch several terminal windows with the same or different codes simultaneously - yes. Integration with mypy, pycodestyle, Jupiter Notebook - yes. Setting up each project, including plug-in external modules - yes. Support for virtual environments - yes. Snippets, macros - yes. And this is all in the basic version, not counting the plugins.
Why not replacing xed by Geany and contributing to Geany? It would be better than continuing to waste time on xed. Geany is installed by default in Raspberry Pi OS. It’s a very more performant text editor than xed and can be used as easily as xed if you parameter it with minimalist menus.
every time i want to run geany as a user in terminal it errors unill i kill all at-spi processes running under root... ps aux | grep at-spi
This has been my goto IDE & text editor for years. A true hidden gem among all the more popular options... p.s. to the person who says "no dark mode", there are themes for Geany you can download. Try Darcula.
Free, easy to use, lightweight, has snippets option, been around a long time. Just wish it had dark mode
This program is simple to use, configurable enough for most of my use cases, and has extended functionality with a nice set of plugins courtesy of the `geany-plugins` package. As someone who finds it difficult to get used to the radically different hotkeys present in Emacs or Vim, this program was incredibly simple to just start being productive with. Is slightly out of date, with version 1.36.1 being offered but 1.37.1 being the latest available.
That is the lightweight IDE I was looking for. Works very well with Python or as external Arduino code editor. Settings are simple and the inverted color mode can be used as a dark theme.
