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.

My bad, I am programing in Python3. I looked through the preferences for global tags but didn't see it. Where can I check it?

The global Python tags are loaded automatically from this compiled binary file:
https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/ea649d8024b14ce55a922e146078ad1bc15533df...
The file is generated by this script:
https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/ea649d8024b14ce55a922e146078ad1bc15533df...
which - without reading it to verify - I believe just includes All The Things.
For more info about tags, see the manual:
https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#symbols-and-tags-files
Note that Geany doesn't really do any kind of introspection or heuristics on the code or suggestions like some other editors try to do, so the autocomplete list may not be very useful.
