It you have thoses dependencies already then why not use 
gtksourceview for the editor stuff? It took me quite some time to 
do that ie. undo/redo system, text layout, highlight system, 
navigation, text anchors, efficient text and line gapbuffers etc. 
You get that for free with gtksourceview.

The Menu button will be different in the final version and maybe 
hidden by default.
I am used to emacs keybindings myself but have designed it around 
being able to use either emacs, vi or standard bindings.
