I don't agree. This doesn't seem to me to be IDE specific functionality and
I think adding it would be contrary to the light weight nature of Geany.

This is especially so when file managers are already available in all
operating systems.  Just have an iconified file manager running at all times
so you only have to de-iconify it, that way you don't clutter your favourite
IDE.

I agree with this, I make a text file in each project for such miscellaneous
stuff (always the same name "NOTES" so I don't get confused).

Should be possible to save and restore scribble in project files overriding
the non-project value in the same way that any other setting does.
Now just someone needs to do it :-)
