Geany is really progressing very fast and being more usable for each
day.
I am wondering if it is possible to add fast find functionality - find
already pics current word as a search token, but it will be nice to add
command to skip search dialog, and perform search for the word at
cursor, with last search dialog settings.
Other small issue with search dialog - the history of past searches
gets filled with duplicates, and to be able to browse through it with
keyboard, one has to press tab, then space and finally cursor keys.
Just pressing cursor keys would be far more effective.
Find usage is extremely usable. I think shortcuts for next/previous
message could make it even more powerful.
And finally, it would be nice to have a file mask, shell or regular
expression filtering files that gets searched in find in files dialog.

Thanks for good work
