Sadly the discussion seems to have hung again.  Maybe it simply isn't
easily solvable for Geany 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.

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.

And keybinding.
