Since it turned out to be as simple as having this one and a half
function to get this working, I'm thinking about this to put into Geany
directly and just connect it to a new keybinding (Ctrl-Shift-Return
or something), 

First, I assumed we need to do some caching or at least pre-generate
the list but I think the generation of the word list is fast enough so
that we can generate it on demand and so a plugin is probably a bit
heavy, this is why I think we could get it into the core and users will
be able to easier find and use this feature.

Thoughts?
