Hi Denis,
As far as I understand, none of this is directly supported by Geany
right now.
This is a known problem: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1458
Until it is solved systematically (if ever), you might be able to hack around it.
Sadly the discussion seems to have hung again. Maybe it simply isn't easily solvable for Geany core.
For custom autocompletion, see: https://github.com/notetau/geany-jedi-complete/tree/master/
geany-complete-core
The use of a separate completion popup as used by the above is the best current solution, keep asynchronism in the plugin, remember neither Geany now GTK is re-entrant, you need to use `g_idle_add()` to synchronise any code that is going to call Geany or GTK or Scintilla. ATM I don't think plugins can turn Geany autocomplete off, but it can prompt the user to do so.
For tags, you do have access to parts of TagManager such as tm_workspace_add_source_file -- maybe you could use that creatively somehow.
Its possible, however if your plugin has accurate information about what is visible at any point, then you may not want to use tagmanager for autocompletion, but it could be used to display symbols in the symbols pane. Tagmanager does not know about what is/is not in scope, so using it will therefore lose the accuracy your plugin had.
Tags also used for syntax highlighting, right? By this I want to add more accuracy syntax highlighting for D.
And of course you can have a custom "Go to D Symbol Definition" command.
And keybinding.
Cheers Lex
