[Github-comments] [geany/geany] RFE: Extra build customisation (#1986)

[elextr]

@ThrawnCA sorry for the delay responding, missed this issue.

> Provide a build placeholder representing the current text selection, eg %s

Would be possible

> Allow more than one build entry to have the custom input dialog that "Make Custom Target..." gets.

Allowing this was suggested when the current build system was in development and was vetoed as the system was already "too complex".  Maybe it can be added now that everybody has gotten used to the system being "normal".  Probably a few semantics to define first though.

> Ideally, I'd love to have a placeholder that would substitute the current function name (determined in the same way as the Symbols sidebar), but that's probably more complicated.

Yes, because its filetype dependent, but maybe it could use the scope shown on the status bar (note that isn't foolproof though, and can be fully qualified, not just the function name).
