Hi Frank,

The Idea of the plugins is good, but i don' t know if we could for 
example change the graphical front end in our desire, only with 
plugins...I don  know their flexibility :S
For example,we already have ctrl+f feature, but we have a search box in 
geany :S.
I will not need the color chooser for MCU's, and why we need the "quit" 
button on this?we already have the quit button on the window.

In this places I need a microcontroller chooser.
On the right section of geany I need a lot of support things for 
registers, assembler instructions(for a micro controller that already 
have been chosen), the schematic pinout diagram, and another things...i 
am saying in the right, because we rarely use more than half of the 
editor with code...

I don't  know if I can change the basic features of geany with 
plugins?but if I could, I wold prefer the plugins version, because we 
can have a IDE for a lot of things ;)

thanks in advance

regards
tux
