does Geany support correct/automatic code-indentation? When I took a look into it 2 weeks ago I wasn't able to figure out how.

>I like that I don't have to think about different shortcuts when I switch between environments.

indeed an ugly problem, I solved it by resetting/aliasing the usual control keys in emacs to mainstream - like x,c,v,a,z,f - which was tricky because I needed to elaborate some DWIM decisions to support the old functionality.

And most people have such problems of conflicts with "muscle memory" of there fingers.

E.g. I know people who try making there Firefox behave like VI with add-ons like vimperator.

    Geay is based on Scintilla (SciTe), of course it does (see http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaRelated.html  )

    I tried configuring vim like firefox/notepad/scite with  gvim -g -y -p , its very close but unvariably the vim-ness kept popping up. I'm glad I knew enough to esc esc esc esc esc :D

      If indentation gets confused in emacs I can reindent a selection or a single line using tab once!

      But setting "intelligent intendation" in Geany to Shift-Tab didn't help, it only produced fuzzy non-indented code on my platform.

      interesting, thanks for showing, will give it a try! :)
