I got the following color scheme from the internet (pastebin) and it wasn't complete regarding some file types (no settings for xml and others).

Tip: change the shortcut for "Reload" from Ctrl-R to something a little harder to accidentally hit, such as Ctrl-Shift-D - otherwise you could lose a load of work if you forget to save the file for a while.

Geany is a text edition tool that uses the GTK2 toolkit with some basic integrated features that make programming easier.

The codes such as 0x000000 refer to a hex color code with 0x appended.Ī value such as 0x000000 0xf0f0f0 false false means: black fg, grey bg, not bold, not italic. Then make whatever changes you need in this scheme file To set a dark color scheme, first make an editable scheme file.Ĭp /usr/share/geany/colorschemes/alt.conf ~/.config/geany/colorschemes/nf If it had some auto text tools and it could almost take over from bluefish as html editor (except you won't have style properties dialogue). You can also setup auto completion of tags, and the like. These two panels make for a good experience, e.g. On the left-hand side is a panel which shows symbols (headers in a doc) and files - but you can remove files (I don't see the use in it) and show a file browser instead. Geany has a few features better over SciTE. To start off with them, you'll need to get a better color scheme going for each. Very customizable and they are both very capable as development environments. So what else is there for Linux? Two class editors I found are Geany and SciTE. It can't show mark-up of special file formats or folding of tag headers. It has no settings available of its self, it just takes on the system GTK scheme. For one, its search and replace function is pretty dodgy.

One of the simplest text editors aroiund is Leafpad, it is fine for quick edits such as tweaking system files, but it does have its limitations when serious work is needed.
