- More general comment - if we have ctags file parsing support, it's
a question whether Geany should continue using the old format and its generation. Tags generation would be then redundant in Geany if you can do the same with ctags (and ctags is the right tool to generate tags, not a text editor). Geany's documentation would then just say what flags should be used for ctags in order to create all the necessary fields.
Using an external tool won't work with real-time tag parsing
IIUC this is a separate concern. The global tags will come from Ctags format files loaded on startup and the workspace tags will still be parsed on-the-fly from the open documents.
Personally I think Geany still generating tag files, equivalent to using the 'ctags' program with the correct options, is a really good idea.
