It would be really nice to be able to put a grid pattern in the background. Notable programs that implement it: 1. Gedit (GNOME's text editor) 2. GNOME Builder (GNOME's IDE) 3. Pluma (MATE's text editor)
Best regards
This would probably have to be implemented by Scintilla, the editing widget used by Geany. AFAICT it has no capability to draw a grid or show a tiled image background.
