I did try Eclipse, it was slow, offered very little that I could not get from a text editor and often broke and wasted my time too many times.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Geany for example offers code completion, symbol browsing (objects, vars and methods), code folding, folder explorer and a powerful find and replace tool. It does offer inbuilt command and compiler tools, but I preferred to leave a terminal open to run and test and tail my error logs (far more efficient and testable than using a debugger).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers, Nick</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 5 Feb 2016, at 14:04, Brian A <<a href="mailto:bradlug@hackroyd.org.uk" class="">bradlug@hackroyd.org.uk</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" class=""><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454680823362_4307" class=""><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454680823362_4437" class="">Thanks Duncan.
