Hello!
I had totally forgot that Geany is available for Mac. The small issue which I am facing is that the "open file" dialog does not show me a native file opener dialog. The reason I want the native file opener dialog is that I have bookmarked a lot of things in Finder and I have to dig into a lot of folders to find the folder I want to open with Geany.
Plus, nice work! I was introduced to Geany few years ago, and this being an IDE takes less RAM + battery than normal text editors 👍

This pull request aims to be a complete support for systems without gvfs-fuse or fuse installed. It supersedes #963 (I'm creating a new pull request because there are some changes to the used approach, not just addressing issues from the original pull request).
The main changes of this pull request compared to #963 are:
1. More fine-grained approach to GIO usage - previously I for instance replaced all g_file_test() usages with GIO (depending on the configuration) but now it's done only for files which can possibly be remote (i.e. not for config files etc.). If not remote, g_file_...() is still used.
2. Got less crazy about USE_GIO_FILE_OPERATIONS Geany configuration and use this one only when opening/closing documents is involved in the IO. This is when things can go wrong when mixing IO methods. But for other things there's no need to maintain both g_file_...() implementation and GIO implementation and only one of them is used (depending on whether the file can be remote).
3. There's no new plugin API - basically I think plugins don't need to know the value of USE_GIO_FILE_OPERATIONS as they aren't involved in opening/closing documents. If a plugin wants to support remote files, it should use GIO. All existing API functions that could possibly involve file IO have been converted to use GIO. It's not completely black and white as some functions are also used by Geany for opening documents so these still test the USE_GIO_FILE_OPERATIONS value. Not having the file IO functions in the API leads to some duplication of code in plugins but it's not that bad and probably better than adding more and more utility functions to the API.
4. It now works not only when gvfs-fuse is uninstalled, but also when fuse is uninstalled. I was still getting the remote location mounted before I uninstalled fuse and discovered more problems on the way. I recommend testing with fuse uninstalled.
5. Some things like file properties of remote files, TM or saveactions support were missing in the previous pull request. Everything should work now.
6. TM works only for parsing edited file's buffers - there's no support for parsing remote files (we'd have to change ctags for this). I think this is OK as loading complete projects over network could take ages and everything would be frozen as we use blocking GIO. For the same reason I don't plan support for remote projects in my projectorganizer plugin. I haven't really checked how other plugins behave but I don't expect big problems. doc->file_name and doc->real_path can now be URI and if plugins do some reasonable error checking, there should be no problem and they should fail gracefully if they don't use GIO. (I haven't checked but IMO plugins shouldn't read/write doc->file_name as this would interfere with the opened buffer in Geany. Most of the checks I've seen were like if (doc->file_name != NULL) {...}).
7. I didn't get too crazy about saveactions plugin GIO support - it now only supports saving backups into a local directory and not to a remote one. I think nobody will really use remote URI as a location for backups - it would be rather impractical and slow. But can easily add this if someone thinks the opposite.
Apart from the minor limitations I mentioned, I'm not aware of anything missing - I believe this pull request ticks all checkboxes from #1145 with the exception of Windows support which I probably won't do myself and which can be done later independently of this pull request.

This change makes the main window show immediately after launching Geany
so it's immediately visible Geany started. With big files/projects this
gives users better feedback about it's starting than not showing anything
until all the files are ready.
This is a separated patch suggested by @codebrainz in https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/576. It might be a bit risky for Geany 1.27 because plugins might make some assumptions when geany-startup-complete is called so this one might need some more testing. Possible candidate for early 1.28 merge.

Since many distros now distribute the GTK3 version of Geany the nightly builds should also check GTK3.

This is nice for when the application / the system is crashing, or there is a power outage.

Previously the file path could be pasted in a file dialog.
With the new nice-looking OSX file dialog in Geany 1.36, this feature is no longer there. Standard behavior in OSX is "Command-Shift G" to bring up the path dialog. It would be super great if this expected OSX behavior was implemented also in Geany

It would be great to have the ability to create multiple carets, select multiple pieces, or progressively clone a selection of a word to the next identical match creating multiple selections, not necessarily square, and then be able to type, delete, replace, etc. using the multiple carets until Esc is hit, pasting into all carets with Ctrl-V, and so on.
Here's an animated demonstration of these features: https://www.sublimetext.com/
This is Sublime Text's killer feature, and this would put Geany closer to one of the most reputed, feature rich commercial multiplatform editors, while still being free software. I believe there's support for this in Scintilla, at least to some extent.
This supersets #850.

After using Geany for almost a day using the Solarized Dark theme, I felt that the text in Geany was slightly harder to read than in Notepad++, an editor I've been using for the past couple years. At first I thought I was imagining things, but after taking screenshots from each editor and comparing them side-by-side with a magnifying glass, I finally figured out why: the font rendering in Geany is ever so slightly darker (or thinner?) than the font rendering in other code editors like Notepad++. Here is the comparison:
Notepad++ is on top and Geany is on the bottom. It is barely noticeable in the image above, but if you zoom in and use the eyedropper tool you will find that the colors in Geany are darker than the ones in Notepad++:
Maybe I'm just more sensitive to this than others, but after spending a day editing code containing lots of strings using the Solarized Dark theme, I find that the code in Geany is slightly harder to read.
I'm not sure how to categorize this because I suspect it is related to the native font rendering engine that is used in Geany.
