I think Filip meant something like that on the screenshot, not in
toolbar, but as a popup right beneath the cursor. (trying to remember my
last work with eclipse or visual studio, very long time ago).
Geany already has such feature: When typing two, three or four chars
(configurable via Preferences-Dialog), a popup with existing symbols
appears. What maybe is missing, is the class before a function/method,
as Filip mentioned above.

Dominic
