Another Ubuntu Interface refinement

Heads Up Display will be coming to Precise Pangolin.

From what I can tell, it's similar to gnome-do or Quicksilver, but even more entangled with what we normally think of as menu functions.

Thoughts, reactions, screams of panic and horror? Either yours or that you care to link to in the comments?

Hope this is the case. Geany has a lot of nested menus and it would be nice to get to the things I use quickly.

Out of curiousity, have you ever used bluefish? How does it compare to Geany?

I have not tried that. I checked out the features page, and a lot of it is for stuff I don't currently need, but one thing stood out and that was spell check for the non-code part of documents.

I also like the idea of project-specific settings and it supports mediawiki, which would be interesting to have a look at.

I might give that a try.
