[Geany] project file browser

[chuck]

Just tried it.  Got the window, but no "cursor" nor any way to select a 
file.  The only thing that worked was mousing to the "close" button. 
Running up-to-date archlinux (no "Testing" packages)

Your script is in the right direction, but I read where Geany will have 
a key shortcut to get to the open files list. Then arrowing (or 
incrementally selecting by typing the first part of a filename?) to 
select.  I assume the focus will return to Geany after selection, as 
well as if no selection is made, a shortcut key to get back to the 
editor window.

The notion of having projects is good.  Geany should have that someday. 
  In the interim, if I could actually select a project file somehow, and 
then select a file listed, that would be cool.

In the words of a VERY OLD cartoon cat "I hate those meeses to pieces!"

ps. If anyone gets the above reference, you are old too.  And I'm not 
the first to use that phrase in reference to computer mice.
(They do have there place.)
