Jim You might find that the code snippets option might be more useful in your case. For example, define a snippet: ac="apply_colors" and now anytime you type ac<tab_key> apply_colors will appear in your code. I find it very useful, especialy when I want to insert multiline boiler plate code or comments.

Using Geany 1.36 I have these checked in preferences:
Auto completion of multiline comments Auto complete symbols Auto complete all words in the document Chars to type = 3
In my script I have a function named apply_colors.
When I type appl
This is the list I see.
application_uri applies_to apply apply_async apply_colors apply_filter
The only item in the list that appears in my script is apply_colors.
I am curious how autocomplete comes up with the words it shows in the list. I am wondering if there is a way to have a more concise list of possibilities. As it is now I would have to type apply_c before apply_colors could be inserted without using the mouse.
Thanks, Jim

Not enough detail to be sure, but possibly global tags loaded for the unnamed language you are programming in.
