[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Autocompletion plugins support (#1854)

[elextr]

> But in Geany we already have fine tune settings for autocompletion. And if extrenal autocompletion will be implemented as substitution of internal autocompletion function it will be more comfortably to use.

I would strongly suggest that the plugin should be shown to work first, before you worry about interacting with settings in Geany.

Making the communication with the language server work, without blocking Geany, and fast enough, is possibly going to be a challenge.  And you have to handle the user typing fast enough that the server hasn't replied when you get the next `editor-notify` signal, unlike your dlang plugin which uses a library version of the d compiler IIUC (similar to @codebrainz use of clanglib) and so is blocking which makes life simple.
