Geany, alternative Linux à Notepad++
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Geany is a solid replacement for Notepad++ if you want a lightweight, fast editor with IDE-like features on Linux. It handles syntax highlighting, code folding, and plugin extensibility well, and starts quickly with low resource use. Programmers who rely on macros or heavy plugin customization may find it lacking, but most Notepad++ users doing general coding, scripting, or config editing will adapt easily. It’s especially suited for those who value simplicity and speed over deep customization.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Notepad++
Geany opens and saves files in standard formats, so any text, source code, or config file created in Notepad++ works without issue. It handles UTF-8, BOM, and line endings (Windows/Unix) correctly. Project files or user-defined language schemes from Notepad++ cannot be imported directly, but the text content itself transfers seamlessly.
