Yeh, I gotta pipe up here too. I've been using Geany on Linux and Windows for a couple years (gee, time flies). I do the major development stuff in visual studio. It's got all the bells and whistles and horns and lights and da da da.... But when I just want to write something quick and dirty (mostly 'c' some html) I like to be able to click on the icon and a half second later there's geany. When I click on VS, 5 minutes later there's the studio.
Geany is a GREAT tool. Please don't make it a 'big deal' IDE.
and Enrico, thanks!

I'm not the one asking for the feature (and I don't plan to ask for it), but I'm still curious why features are rejected.
I am an old faithful user of Geany who was just watching this thread. Now I would like to comment.
Please keep Geany lightweight and simple with zero bloat. Please don't add any such features which makes it another Visual Studio or Eclipse or Netbeans. Yes! Those are good editors, still a bloatware for my needs. Firefox is my favorite browser, still I fell that it has becomes slow of late. New and new features are continuously making it bulky. This is what not at all required. Geany i well known for its lightweight and as a *hardly-any-dependency* application.
Enrico is like a God to this thread and Geany. I salute him! Keep on your work. If anyone doesnt like the current features of Geany, they can make a plugin or more fork the application development. After all its under GPL. These all are feature requests, not feature demands. The Geany developers have full right to turn them down, since they are also bound by their time constraints.
Geany devs! Keep rocking!
