HI Lex,
thanks for the quick response.
Your example is almost as it, the only difference, and I don't know if it
matters but my structure definition is as follow
IN FILE toto.h
typedef struct
{
int blah;
int foo;
}myStruct_t;
IN FILE toto.c
#include "toto.h"
void TestFct(void)
{
myStruct_t a;
a-> (here I would expect to see blah and foo being suggested by Geany)
}
For the platform I'm on Linux Ubuntu 10.04 and using Geany 1.22
Thanks in advance

Just to be sure, you have something like
struct fred {
int blah;
int foo;
};
in a file that is fed to the geany -g mytags.c.tags
You have loaded the mytags.c.tags file automatically or manually ( and
menu->help->debug messages has a message saying it loaded)
In some file (other than the one above) you have
struct fred b;
when you type b-> you don't get blah and foo as options?
You have not said what version or platform you are using, but the above works
on the current git version on Linux.
All the above declarations must be top level for it to work, it is noted in the
manual that it won't work for local declarations.
Finally you can't goto a declaration that is in a tag file, the tags
information doesn't include the file the tag is from.
Cheers
Lex
