Hi there,

I saw an update to geany posted on the misc OpenBSD list and decided
to try it out on my work desktop. As a long time vim user I was quite
suprised that I actually really like this software! So I will start by
saying thanks :)

Here are some ideas I had:
* Have the search box as a bar (like the firefox search bar), so as
not to obscure the editor pane.
* Same with "goto line".
* Provide a way to navigate the sidebar tabs and panes using only the
keyboard. Yup, you can focus it, but how can I change tabs?
* Add an ISC license template.
* Add a markers tab in the sidebar.

All in all, keep it slim. One of the best things about geany (in my
eyes), is that its very useful at about one quarter the weight of
eclipse/netbeans :)

Thanks
