@elfi geany is a step up from pluma in that it has several code editing features while not going overboard and being an actual ide. not quite sure what pluma's feature list is but some useful things from geany are bracket matching, auto indentation, limited word/variable completion, useful keyboard shortcuts, a jump to symbol pane, I think rectangular selection, a compile button, and advanced find/replace for all files in the project at once. normally I use vscode as a javascript ide, but if I want to do something that isn't javascript then I pick geany because it's really fast (and not electron). I think geany primarily targets C files for its language support, but you can of course edit whatever you want. geany tries to stay out of your way and just lets you type until you decide to call on a feature.
