Hi all.
Geany has been as good to me over the past year or two of Lisping as it was with anything involving curly braces, but I would be interested in writing/contributing code to improve the support for tagging and autocompletion.
Unless I’m doing something horribly wrong, Common Lisp is not supported by the symbol list out of the box the way that Python or C files are. So, I take it I would need to write a parser of the type under tagmanager/ctags in git — there isn’t one for Common Lisp at present. Is this correct? Syntax highlighting for Lisps (for what syntax there is) works fine but I would like to work on making the symbol list functional as well.
What would it show, just a flat sequence of Lists with a Symbol in the car position? Syntactically it should be the most trivial parser in CTags to write, but it might be more challenging to show a meaningful symbols tree for it (ex. should it handle quoting? show non-alpha symbols like !@#$%^&? functions in `cond` branches, etc).
BTW, it sounds like you have the right idea WRT adding a parser.
And to make it even more sweet, here's one:
