What do you think about creating a firefox-about:config-like interface for the hidden preferences? For example, a "Various" tab in the preferences dialog, with a "name value" list, a check button or a text entry (depending on the currenttly selected element), and a link to www.geany.org/manual/current/#hidden-preferences.
That'll take some time to write, for example to check that all changes are applied immediately, but I'm willing to do it, if you think it's a good idea. The stash provides a good base for such an interface.
It would be nice for the user. However, it would mean all hidden prefs would need to be made reloadable. I don't want to do that really.
The feature could still be implemented, but require that the user restart after editing a setting. An info area could be shown reminding the user to restart.
Perhaps the feature should be implemented as a plugin, but could be shipped with Geany.
