Which is the lightest GUI text editor in Ubuntu that supports tabbed windows? I'm looking for a Windows Notepad replacement, but with tabs support.

I have no need for syntax highlighting or any other features.

  • Geany is based on the same engine as notepad++ in case anyone's interested. And SciTE, and notepad2 and a bunch of others. Geany seems to be the most well respected of those, other than maybe Notepad++ which is Windows only Nov 25, 2020 at 12:40
