> - Tasks:
> The tasks plugin goes through a file being edited and picks out lines
> with "TODO" or "FIXME" in them. It collects the text after those words
> and puts them in a new "Tasks" tab in the message window. Clicking on a
> task in that tab takes you to the line in the file where the task was

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!!!  I like *ALL* of these
mini-plugins, especially the Tasks.  I was recently working on a
similar idea, to add similar functionality to medit and similar
editors which support scripting via Lua.  I didn't get far, but had
great plans.  I don't know if I'll continue since Geany now has this
as a plugin, and would definitely be more attractive.  :)

Well done to everyone who contributes to Geany.  It's got a great set
of features, but not bloated, open to ideas from it users (providing
they don't make it bloated) and, incredibly, has great user
documentation.
