Hi, all.
I recently discovered Geany, and it seems to be exactly the sort of programmer's editor I've been looking for to replace SlickEdit. Thanks!
Outside of syntax highlighting, my single most frequently used SlickEdit feature is jumping to tag definitions and then returning to where I was before the jump. This works in a nested, last-in-first-out fashion, like a stack. I can jump from the body of function A to the definition of B, then from B to C, and when I'm done reading C, return to exactly where I was in B to make a few edits, and back again to my original position in A. This simple feature has proved to be a very powerful tool for understanding and modifying code. It is so intuitive that it doesn't require any line markers to appear in the margin; the cursor movements are sufficient to show me what's going on.
Geany's "go to tag definition" covers the first part of this feature, but it doesn't seem to do the second. Am I simply missing it? If it's not already part of Geany, would the developers consider adding a "return from tag" feature like this?
I'm using Geany 0.12.
Cheers,
Forest
