Ok, but at least it is need to add notify for start of dialog displaying.

Currently I use this code for autocompletion dialog in my own plugin without any problems:

```D
/// This is D language
    scintilla_send_message(
            doc.editor.sci,
            Sci.SCI_AUTOCSHOW,
            cast(uptr_t) alreadyEnteredNum,
            cast(sptr_t) preparedList.toStringz
        );
```

So it is only need some public function pointer inside of Geany what returns list for autocompletion and also another one for tips window. If plugin will be able to replace this pointers by its own it will be very usable.
