Until this point, this is possible with snippets which are supported by
current versions of geany. You will have to manually edit your
snippets.conf accordingly. See the documentation for information how to
do that.

Sounds like you are asking for a GUI to edit and list snippets. Would be
an interesting feature, but i don't think it will get into 0.16. Maybe
in a later version or as a plugin. Patches are welcome anyway i think.
(I'm not developer of geany.)

This is also supported by the snippets-feature, at least PHP and Perl
are. I'm not sure if geany has language support for Action Script yet.
