Simplest C++ editor for Linux

Open gedit Text Editor

Use the "External Tools" plugin. For compiling a single C++ file, you can set up gedit so that a single key will compile the program. For example, you can set up a g++ tool with options set up like this:

Description: Compile C++
Accelerator: F5
Command(s): g++ $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME -o ${GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME%.*}
Input: Nothing
Output: Display in bottom pane
Applicability: All documents

With this tool set up, hitting the F5 function key opens up a console at the bottom of the window and runs g++ there. And with this:
 
Description: Run C++
Accelerator: F6
Command(s): ./${GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME%.*}
Input: Nothing
Output: Display in bottom pane
Applicability: All documents

hitting the function key F6 will run the program.
