<p>Okay answering back for anyone.</p>
<p>From another subshell, to focus Geany and reload the config automagically.</p>
<p><code>wmctrl -xa Geany && xdotool key Super+space alt+t KP_Enter</code></p>
<p>Now my little workaround works perfect!</p>
<p>I have no idea how to create a Geany plugin otherwise, while not knowing anything about C/C++, i always find my way quickly with php and took me no more than 2-3 hours to create it. ;)</p>
