[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Activate local plugin from configuration file (#1562)

[fjvico]

`togglebars` plugin is to be made available for Geany in an application that install from a deb file and copies `togglebars.py` in the `~/.config/geany/` directory. So, the plugin is intended to be active when Geany is launched by the application, meaning that it should be included in `~/.config/geany/geany.conf` in the form:
`active_plugins=/home/<user>/.config/geany/plugins/togglebars.py;`
But the name of the user is not known at the time of installation. Alternative solutions like 
`active_plugins=~/.config/geany/plugins/togglebars.py;`
`active_plugins=$HOME/.config/geany/plugins/togglebars.py;`
don't work. How can it be included this file independently of the user name?

Also, this plugin demands `geanypy`, which is placed in:
`active_plugins=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/geany/geanypy.so;`
what depends on the architecture. Does this plugin need to be precompiled? Can it be placed somewhere else?
