I don't know if you realize it, but you said several times that Geany is
not really an IDE without explaining what is lacking that makes it not
"real".

So I looked at Geany and it is interesting.  But they don't support the
terminal emulation function under Windows.  In reading why I don't get
what they are saying.  Can I get a translation?

"Windows build differences

Some features are missing:

     embedded terminal emulation (VTE, as far as I know there is nothing
equal for Windows) "


Is VTE a package that is used to provide the terminal emulation in Geany
and this package is not available (or anything like it) under Windows?

I read something recently that said we can read words that have letters
very jumbled as long as the first and last letter are right.  I get
tired of correcting my typing errors and might start testing this
threoy.  I wnoedr how mnay wlil fnid it obcejtnoialbe?
