[Github-comments] [geany/geany] [Enhancement request] Can complete from other opened file. (Issue #3123)

[elextr]

> Because I have a file containing many Cairo library functions

Do you mean the source of Cairo or do you mean your own code which just happens to use Cairo functions?

>  I want to complete these functions in a new file

Function _defined_ in an open file in the same (or similar, eg C/C++) language will be available for autocomplete in other files of the same language.   But just using a function in your file is not a definition and is not recognised for autocomplete or the symbol pane.  Also files included in your files are not parsed, so `#include <cairo.h>` will not make cairo functions available for autocomplete.

> I've tried geany -g -P

You probably don't want the -P, you want the preprocessor to pull in the headers included from `cairo.h`
