Yup. I'm guessing Geany will eventually get that. But, I've been using
Python lately, and since I can't yet write a plugin in Python, I
figured a tiny little Tkinter app would do for now.

I use Ctrl-E to get the focus back to the editor window (after, say,
having used Ctrl-F to do an incremental search). Though, the default
key for returning to the editor is an F-key, I think.

It already does, however, Geany projects don't currently seem to
contain information on what files belong to the project proper (though
they store the name of the project's tld).

You can currently tell Geany to open a project file. Menu: "Project --> Open".
