Hi All,
I would like to start actions in geany from inside a geany plugin?
E.g. start the Color Chooser as if it was selected from the geany tools menu. I tried to call the callback function directly but that gives an linker error for geany plugins (just logical).
Can I fire/send an event/message to make it being started? How do I do that?
If you happen to find one that's not available as a keybinding command, you can also use `ui_lookup_widget()` to get a handle on the menu item and then activate it through code (ie. `gtk_actionable_activate()` or something). This is kind of brittle, but it does work.
