> I don't like @elextr proposal. I want project files to be suitable for shipping it with the project itself. Carrying all user preferences (GUI-related or not) is not appropriate.

I see I wasn't clear enough, sessions would still be split out from projects, which would only contain settings that were needed to be different for whatever the project the user was working on, not every setting but it _could_ change any setting, instead of the current limitations.  The point however is to allow (but not force) projects to contain any setting, even tweaked filetype files if its appropriate to the particular project a user is working on.  

@xiota this is a first suggestion of an idea, if you are looking for a complete design its not available, we will have to develop it, patience.  There may be impossible obstacles, but its the way many other IDEs and other applications work, so I doubt its unimplementable.  As to stash, the suggestion would be that stash supports overriding where sources of a specific setting override another.  See for example how the [build menu](https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu) overriding works. At the moment it does not use stash since stash doesn't support the capabilities it needs, but as you say, there is no reason not to expand stash to do so.
