This might not help you, but it is actually a plugin so there's a very small chance with enough determination you could get it to run outside the IDE https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/idea/25...
The follow-on [rhetorical] question is what value it provides to you outside of its integration with the IDE (e.g. click to open, it being integrated right into the window of your editor, etc)

ecode
Lightweight multi-platform code editor designed for modern hardware with a focus on responsiveness and performance.
I'm working on a multi-platform code editor similar to notepad++ and some new editors like Zed, called ecode, that tries to be a fresh take on code editors using some modern tools and technologies like LSPs. I started working on it after using Geany (which was the closest alternative to notepad++ in Linux) for many years but finding Geany lacking some essential features for my needs. ecode is developed with speed in mind and has a very fast startup time. It might be a good fit for your search.
