Well. Sorry, I just hit the "send" button by accident, before putting the

Everyone in this list might know right now that I am a heavy advocate for
having plugin system planned once 1.0 is finally out.

With that said, I'd like to add that this would be really easy to get done,
if we add the right hooks in Geany and let it be controlled by scripts in,
say, Python or TCL (or even C plugins).

We would only have to create a system where a plugin could navigate through
all folding markers at the current file, and then a user script/plugin could
do the feature. That way the GUI for that wouldn't really be a Geany core
problem, and plugins could configure their own gui the way they wanted, be
it a weird button on the toolbar or a keybinding for the user.


Cheers,
Alexandre Moreira.
