The problem is that for some reason we `dlopen()` VTE, and 0.38 lacks runtime version checking, so it's harder than it should. But yeah maybe we could play and assume it's 0.38 if an older symbol is missing and a newer present (although it's made even more annoying to do than it should because the [0.38 docs](https://developer.gnome.org/vte/0.38/) lacks any "new in 0.38" docs, so it has to be guessed).
It'd probably be doable, but VTe really doesn't help here.

No. Unless there's a compelling reason to drop 2.90, we should not drop it.

Probably makes sense. But well, it's a retarded feature anyway, so why bother.

FYI: Debian and Ubuntu have already dropped libvte 2.90 (tarball 0.36). They only ship the ancient gtk2 version (tarball 0.28), as well as 2.91 for gtk3 (tarball 0.38 or newer).
Neither the gtk2 version, nor 2.90 is maintained anymore by upstream. Bugfixes / security fixes / improvements only go to the newest tarballs (library version 2.91).
The first version with the new API was released almost 2 years ago. I have myself ported a vte-based terminal emulator (whose codebase I was not familiar with), it took maybe like 2-3 hours, can't remember, but definitely not much more.
So I guess it's high time port geany to the newest vte. (I don't think parallel support for 2.90 and 2.91 makes any sense, just go for 2.91 and forget 2.90 for good).

No. Maybe the latest version could be usable, I'd have to check. For the moment just use 2.90.

@b4n what is the advantage here of removing previous source and adding new source vs just not adding a new timeout source if one is pending?

I simply created a function read_current_scope which is similar to read_current_word, and gets the scope of the word the cursor is on:
ScopeA::ScopeB::Function
it will return ScopeA::ScopeB
Then I used the function in editor_show_calltip where find_calltips is called. To find_calltips I added an argument const gchar *scope to send the value over. Then, find_calltips calls the function tm_workspace_find which already had an option for scope. So I simply passed in the scope to that function, so now when typing in a scope, all functions will display properly.
