For now, I use gedit 'external tools' to bind Quickly commands to shortcuts. For example, F5 is 'quickly run' and F4 is 'quickly glade'. That's totally awesome, you should try it. Go to Tools/Manage external tools, then hit 'add' button below, and fill command and shortcut key into input fields on the right.</p> Speaking of IDE, it’s almost around the corner.

Thanks for the post, Jono. You’ve inspired me to play with Quickly again. I’ve been writing down a lot of ideas for quick little apps so this could be fun!

One thing is – all the features like tight designer/editor integration, quick adding of dialogs, source control checkins, deployments into tarballs and other formats, bzr integration is available in MonoDevelop.

This would be extremely beneficial for autotools based projects.

I think we need to be building a culture of thriving application development, but really encouraging people to collaborate on those applications too. I think we <em>can</em> do this. With other app stores they have built themselves on the shareware model and are not as dyed-in-the-wool Open Source as Ubuntu, so I think we can push this in the right direction.</p> I agree with your concerns.
