**Geany** provides a useful drop down showing the fields and methods in a Java class if one types a **dot** beside a variable referencing an object in that class.
In the image below, I have just typed a dot on line **78** and in the drop down we can see that field **eeeeeeee** defined on line **87** is a possible choice to follow the dot:

Please could **Geany** also display any comment associated with that field definition as this would significantly further assist the user in their choice of the correct field or method name ?
I'm afraid ctags parsers that Geany uses to extract symbols just strip all the comments so there's no way for Geany to show them.
