[Geany] remote source editing

[Thomas Stover]

Just thought I would share this with the list. Through out the week I 
work from several different places, and I find myself using every trick 
in the book to get this done. I use svn to keep local and offline copies 
of work updated, but I also remotely connect to computers to work on 
source trees. When I do that on a LAN, I have just been (since I found 
geany) remotely running geany with X forwarding. This of course sucks 
over the internet. After trying to go back to mc over ssh for this I 
found geany has ruined me. :) So I came up with this technique for that 
situation:
-locally run geany
-configure promtless ssh logins via ssh-agent or passwordless keypair
-mount remote directory with sshfs
-inside the geany terminal window ssh to the remote host
-change geany tools preferences for things like make from /usr/bin/make 
to a script similar to this:
   #!/bin/bash
   ssh $(REMOTE) "cd $(REMOTE_WORKING_DIR); make $(1)"

Any thoughts?
