Similarly I've found Geany to come closest to what I left behind on Windows with TextPad, but just this morning I found your blog when trying to figure out how to replace new-line sequences with "\n". You'd think something that simple and silly would be really easy, but I cannot figure it out: use "$" and blank lines don't get fixed up; use "\n" and it LEAVES the original sequence so you can only leave AFTER it (not before); use "^" and it has the same effect as "\n". Alright, enough complaining out of me, I'm off to continue the search (being stubborn) ... I’ve been using Ubuntu as my primary operating system for at least a year now and I feel your pain.

I was looking for an alternative to Notepad++ too. Tried Emacs (too different), NetBeans (too much), Bluefish (too little documentation) and then got your blog post through Google. Installed Geany and figured out how to toggle comments and how to change the PHP commenting to C++ style within 10 minutes of installing. I am very happy :-) Thank you.
