Hi All,
first post, apologies if I have missed something.
I have been using geany as a my day-to-day editor on fedora, as a replacement for an originally windows text editor IDM ultradedit.
However one feature that I am missing, (quite badly in fact, might need to work out how to code plug-ins or something) is to be able to have multiple rows of tabs in the selector widget.
If I have 20 text files open, which happens in my line of work, they scroll off the tab menu and it a PITA to find the one I need quickly.
Any suggestions? Thanks...

I don't think GTK+ supports multi-row tabs, so this wouldn't be possible without massive hacks and probably modifying GTK+.

Use the menu that pops up when you right click on a tab or use the key combinations defined in the `Preferences->Keybindings->Notebook tab` to navigate through the tabs easier.

I am another user that would find multi-row tabs pretty useful, but the 'Show Document List' toolbar menu works fine for me. As you say, it would be a lot of work to implement that GTK widget. But if someone built it (as a plugin, or maybe as a user preference in core Geany), I would definitely use it.

Bind a key to View -> Show Sidebar (I use Alt-S) and use the Documents tab in the sidebar. It has the added benefit of grouping by folder.
So you would want something like vims minibus explorer ?

Google doesn't return any results for "vim minibus explorer", so I'm guessing that was an iPhone auto-correct fail :)
Aha, you meant 'vim buffer explorer'. I found a screenshot [1] of MiniBufferExplorer [2], and yes, that looks pretty useful. Especially with keybindings for the numbered short-cuts.

Think the best thing is you can change with buffer number name or first matching letters.
Like :b 3 :b name
Etc. just thinking gvim can use this without needing to hack gtk
