Hi!
Does anyone else use Geany as Dlang code editor?
I'm looking at the ongoing fundraising for another editor.
Unlike it, we have almost everything ready:
https://github.com/denizzzka/geany_dlang
(More precisely, I think that Geany is not so advanced and
currently it is enough to add only tips and autocompletion :-))

Estimation of work ~3 hours, it seems. And we finally get a
normal autocompletion for D language.
Thanks!
Sorry, but I highly doubt that you can get a "normal
autocompletion" for D within 3 hours.
D's "state of the art" DCD struggles a lot with autocompletion as
it only has an AST and no semantic analysis.
Fixing this by e.g. using DMD's frontend is way beyond 3 hours of
work.
Though of course, DCD works well for many cases already.
BTW I quickly skimmed your linked issue and it seems that Geany
already supports autocompletion for plugins, just not re-using
the naive default completion.
