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

[eexpress]

Thanks for advise. But I do not want more plugins for this, because geany has done things well.

I may not have expressed it clearly before. Let me give another example. 

FileA.c contains:
```
	cairo_fill (ctx);
	cairo_restore (ctx);
	cairo_save (ctx);
	gdk_rgba_parse (cc, TIMER_F_COLOR);
```
**those 4 functions is not recognized as a function/symbols**, BUT I can complete this 4 in FileA.c **immediatelly**. This may be called "auto complete in current document"? That my favourite function in geany.

Many times, I wrote a new FileB.c, I want save input time, I open FileA.c beside then I want can also auto complete those 4 functions in FileB.c.

I like lightweight geany to go, so I do not want save a lot of gloabal tags in `~/.config/geany/tags` directory. And I do not want join them into a project, for most time this two file is belong to defferent project. Of course manually `[Generating a global tags file](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#id85)` is also not work, for those is not funcions/symbols.

May I call it as "auto complete in all opened documents". This is nothing with "workspace symbols" or "global tags files".
