a super minimal GTK text editor with pointer-cursor unification

Leafpad - GTK+ based simple text editor -Or Sylphnote, rather.

Description

Sylphnote unifies the text cursor and the mouse pointer. We believe this grants a productivity improvement. It is a hacked up version of Leafpad. To get the menu to appear, hold alt.
