Another, in the long term more promising thing to be done is to request
this feature enhancement to the Scintilla project, once it is available
there, it will also be available in Geany (ok, maybe with some little
delay :D).
I don't know whether it's a coincidence or whether it was one
of you but today exactly this request was made:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=352439&aid=2839427&group_id=2439

The Scintilla developer stated he won't work on this himself but that
doesn't mean it's not possible to get improved. Some just need to write
some code for it.

Enrico
