[Geany-Users] Users Digest, Vol 173, Issue 2

You might find that the code snippets option might be more useful in your
case.
For example,  define a snippet:
ac="apply_colors"
and now anytime you type
ac<tab_key>
apply_colors will appear in your code.
I find it very useful,  especialy when I want to insert multiline boiler
plate code or comments.
