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. Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME, so Geany only requires the GTK2 toolkit and therefore you only need the GTK2 runtime libraries installed to run it.
The basic features of Geany are:
Syntax highlighting
Code completion
Auto completion of often used constructs like if, for and while
Auto completion of XML and HTML tags
Call tips
Many supported filetypes like C, Java, PHP, HTML, Python, Perl, Pascal
Tag/Symbol lists
