I think that would be a great idea. I changed the check version in the plugin and was able to get Geany to recognize it afterwards to great success. I can't speak for the existing user base, but I would find this invaluable and at worst since this will be generated on demand (which I think is a good idea) it couldn't affect existing users if they decide not to use it.

Since it turned out to be as simple as having this one and a half
function to get this working, I'm thinking about this to put into Geany
directly and just connect it to a new keybinding (Ctrl-Shift-Return
or something),

First, I assumed we need to do some caching or at least pre-generate
the list but I think the generation of the word list is fast enough so
that we can generate it on demand and so a plugin is probably a bit
heavy, this is why I think we could get it into the core and users will
be able to easier find and use this feature.

Thoughts?

Enrico
