Fixed.

Fixed, sort of. Limit is gone (it's now using a dynamically allocated 
single linked list). pressing tab between jumps should work now. Nesting 
(i.e. recursively inserting) snippets works too, so that the cursor 
positions of the old snippets are not destroyed if you insert another 
snippet.
I used my self-made single linked list implementation, since I had 
problems with GSList (with concating 2 lists and freeing in particular). 
My implementation does exactly what we need, and is yet extensible and 
reusable.

Adapting my ages old single linked dynamic list implementation to Geany 
was the most fun :)

Default hotkey issue is still open (if there even should be one).

Patch attached. This one works quite well for me.
