Geany For Mac

Geany is a user-friendly Integrated Development Environment solution that aims to be fast and has been built to use only the GTK2 runtime libraries.

What’s more, Geany can work with numerous programming languages, such as C, HTML, JAVA, Python and more. A complete list of supported languages is available on the project’s page.

Within the Geany main window, you get to see a list with all opened documents, but also the symbols included in the currently selected file. Note that Geany can open multiple files at the same time, and keeps them organized by using tabs.

At the same time, in the bottom area of the Geany main window you get to see the app’s status log, the compiler results, the messages tab, and the command line. Geany also integrates a Scribble area where you can type anything you like, such as short reminders or pieces of code.

Most project management tools are integrated in the Geany’s top toolbar: here you get to quickly create new files using various formats, to save or reload the current file, to close it altogether and so on. The same area enables you to both compile and build the current file.

Despite its minimalist design, Geany packs everything you need to write code, regardless of the programming language you are working in. Geany comes with syntax highlighting, can fold your code, integrates auto-completion features, can automatically close HTML and XML tags, and so on.

Geany includes a search tool that can help you find specific expressions within the code, but also allows you to quickly jump to a certain line of code.

Worth mentioning is that Geany comes with additional plug-ins that help you extend its capabilities. Make sure to navigate to the plug-in manager window to select the ones that you want to have active by default.
