well, the first part of my reply was too optimistic: I thought of a Choice, but one has to open it manually (but the Windows channel is correct with an ordinary List control)
but what about using a Menu here instead of a List?
I havn't looked recently, but IIRC the autocomplete uses a GTK treeview inside the autocomplete popup rather than a list or menu, you can look in the Scintilla GTK platform code to check.
AFAIK the autocomplete substitution happens inside the Scintilla editing widget code. Scintilla is a separate project from Geany and has other users, so any change proposal would need to be raised there, probably with code.

well, I'm doing wx and there is no problem for the user to choose between those two methods (same coding, the control handles it) and on Windows I even get the left_mouse_click and can fetch the selected index (I do GIMP only for pictures and there I'm really pleased with it)

when I get a choice at edit I have to double click to select and I can’t find any customizing to simplify that: usually, when I do a click I know what I’m doing..
If you mean when the autocomplete popup is shown, no there is no way of changing mouse selection for that, its defined in the GTK tool kit which makes the distinction between highlighting (single click) and selecting (double click) but highlighting is also possible with the keyboard using the up/down arrow keys and select is possible using the return to select the highlighting.
No mouse operation is useful in the autocomplete popup as it saves moving the hands from the typing position to the mouse so its not something we would want to lose.
AFAIK GTK does not distinguish between highlighting using arrows and highlighting using the mouse so there is no way Geany (well actually Scintilla) can separate the operations.
