Specifically for the copy/paste bug, it's probably something simple but 
maybe buried somewhere deep inside Geany or GTK+ even.

For OSX usability in general, a big part of it is making a real 
"application bundle" including a Geany binary that works in this 
environment and its dependencies (ie. GTK+ and a few other things) 
bundled in. Most of this doesn't require programming much, if at all.

Getting setup to build with jhbuild and stuff is a pure PITA, but also 
doesn't require much programming, just patience. There's some info out 
there for help, search for "Building GTK+ on OSX" and 
"gtk-osx-application" and stuff like this. You could also get pretty far 
without jhbuild and using just the stuff from macports.

Let me know if you start hacking on this and I can round up what I have 
so far and make it available online.

P.S. You could also ping these guys and see if they can make their build 
scripts/tools/process available:
