Very hard, if not impossible.

There is already the Mousepad project that aims to be a very fast to
load text editor, then there is Geany, Medit, (G)Vim, Emacs, etc.

http://git.xfce.org/apps/mousepad/

In there are two interesting branches, nick_0_3 and a more recent one
matt/gtksourceview.

The fact Mousepad is already present will most probably end in a
reject to your request.
