Hello, I am a Geany newbie, started using Geany lured by its autocompletion and a few other features. Unfortunately, when coding in perl, I don't seem to get the autocompletion to work. That is, if I type a few characters (e.g., 2 chars: I have set the corresponding option to 2 characters) of a variable name which I have already defined, nothing happens (I was expecting to see a popup suggesting the var name). On the other hand, if I press CTRL+SPACE after typing those two chars, the popup does show up. Seems to me that I am missing something - why is the autocomplete popup not showing up? I want it to show up without having to press CTRL+SPACE. Using Geany 1.22 on Windows 7, with .cgi file extension (I have registered the file type in filetype_extensions.conf). Thanks.

Hi,
The Perl tags parser doesn't define variables, only subroutines and a few other things. See what comes up in the symbol tab, thats what will be autocompleted.
Your completions at CTRL+SPACE might be from an autocomplete all words setting. Because of the potential size those autocompletes can only be invoked manually AFAIK.
