Be nice to find a universal solution though.
Well Geany could use [scope::]func_name(params) -> return_type format for C++ calltips. It should be familiar to any modern C++ developer and -> is fairly intuitive anyway. It would be especially useful when there are overloads returning different types, otherwise clicking through the calltip arrows to find the one is awkward to read. Like that, overloads with different scope are immediately obvious. Looking for a scope and/or parameter overload is more common than looking for return type (and even if looking for the latter you can just look to the end of the calltip). Also the calltips are not even sorted by return type, so that alone is evidence the return type is not the salient info.
Aside: annoyingly, Scintilla doesn't seem to support selecting a calltip from a drop down list of overloads so you have to manually go through each one. Could probably be implemented outside Scintilla maybe.
