One thing about IDE's is how much screen real estate gets taken up by various windows and toolbars. Often, when editing a single file, I wish I had more room on the screen for the text (specifically, more vertical lines displayed at once).
I see that in Geany, under the View menu, I can toggle the following:
* message window * toolbar
and in Edit --> Prefs --> Interface tab:
* Misc section, I can toggle the statusbar on and off. * Tab placement, I can shut off editor tabs.
Now, what would be darn cool is if there were a menu item under View (critical: and a key combo to go with it) to allow me to toggle all four of those off in one fell swoop. I need the message window, toolbar, statusbar, and editor tabs -- just not all the time.
BTW, I see that F11 maximizes the Geany window, but that feature's not useful to me. I already keep the Geany window maximized vertically, and since I can't view more than one file side-by-side, I don't have any reason to maximize it's width (besides, I like it less than max width so I can reach other windows with the mouse).
