geany is a nice lightweight ide but lacked syntax highlighting and auto-complete for javascript, let alone V8 or node.js.

Putting that right just meant building 2 files (on the Downloads page):

filetypes.javascript to go in ~/.config/geany/filedefs for highlighting

Javascript.js.tags to go in ~/.config/geany/tags for auto-complete

============================================================================================

You can also set 
  node %f 
as the compile command in geany 0.18 to run the script you are currently editing.

Alternatively, in geany 0.19 you can set a couple of build commands for js source files:
  node %f
press F8 to run 
and (if you have installed node-inspector)
  node ~/node/node-inspector/bin/inspector.js --start=%f
press F9 to start debugging.

============================================================================================

You can also add a "lint" build command:
 node ~/linter.js %d/%f
Where linter.js is Douglas Crockford's fulljslint.js with this small addition:

var inFile = process.argv[2],
    sys = require("sys"),
    fs = require("fs");

sys.puts(inFile);

fs.readFile(inFile, function (err, lintable) {
    if (!err) {
        if (JSLINT(lintable.toString())) {
            sys.puts("Nothing untoward");
        } else {
            console.log(sys.inspect(JSLINT.data(), false, 3));
        }
    } else {
        sys.log("File not found!");
    }
});

============================================================================================

If you prefer the sort of output you get with the JSlint web site, you can also do this:

var inFile = process.argv[2],
    sys = require("sys"),
    fs = require("fs"),
    http = require('http');

sys.puts(inFile);

fs.readFile(inFile, function (err, lintable) {
    var JSlintCSS = "#errors {background-color:mistyrose;border:2px solid black;margin:1em;padding:1em;}#errors p {margin-left:2em;}#errors p.evidence {font-family:monospace;margin-left:0;}#functions {background-color:white;}#members {background-color:peachpuff;}#functions, #members {border:2px solid black;font-family:monospace;margin:1em;padding:1em;}#functions div {margin-left:10em;text-indent:-5em;}#functions div.function {margin-left:0;text-indent:0;}";
    if (!err) {
        if (JSLINT(lintable.toString())) {
            sys.puts("Nothing untoward");
        } else {
            sys.puts("JSlint report available at localhost:8181");
            var httpServer = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
                response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': "text/html", "Expires": "now"});
                response.end("<html><head><title>JSlint report</title><style>" +
                    JSlintCSS + "</style></head><body>" +
                    "<H1>JSlint</H1><H2>" + inFile + "</H2><H3>" + new Date() + "</H3>" +
                    JSLINT.report() + "</body></html>");
                process.exit(0);
            }).listen(8181);
        }
    } else {
        sys.log("File not found!");
    }
});
