NOTEPAD++ NOTES
  • "This plugin has no maintainer and wants one; please see TextFX's Future"
  • "Currently, some plugins are taking over some areas where TextFX is being used:
    • Code alignment
    • NppConverter
    • XBrackets Lite
    • Tidy2"
  • "The npp-plugins project features the v0.25 sources and the v0.26 binaries ([v0.26] changes are not deemed to be publcly available as sources by their author.)"

ANALYSIS

So...it seems TextFX represents abandonware, last updated in 2009, and current strategy involves piecing it out into separate plugins. Which seems to imply the same strategy, for Geany.

VERDICT

Wait and see
