[Geany-Devel] I'm thinking I like Geany...

[Steven Blatnick]

Hello.

I'm just introducing myself and explaining why I chose to add myself to 
the devel list today, as well as providing a patch.

I'm a software developer who, if you can believe it, uses gedit as my 
primary IDE.  (You may have seen me recently in the IRC channel.)

After struggling with the division between gedit 2, gedit 3, and pluma 
(MATE), I decided to look elsewhere for a light-weight IDE.

My initial impressions of geany are:

1. It runs with about half the RAM of gedit2 on my box.
2. The code seems easier to get in to.
3. It seems to be heading the direction I like and has the look and feel 
I want.
4. Looks like any feature I miss from gedit I could contribute myself or 
write a plugin.

So here is my attempt to get involved:

I've attached a patch that adds /Backspace/ to the keyboard events for 
the file browser so you can go up a directory quicker. It's something I 
noticed gedit had and I hope others may find it more convenient than 
previous Alt+Up key combination (which still is there, this is just in 
addition).

Sorry if I'm doing anything out of step, and I hope I can contribute :-)

Thanks,

Steven Blatnick
