@techee What is done differently between a "global" tag and one with a filename 
other than being unable to goto since there is nowhere to goto to?  AFAIU 
everything is pretty much thrown in the mix for most tags/symbols actions if it 
comes from the same language (or C and C++ combined IIUC)?

I know that tagmangler format does not have a filename and Geany has to 
continue to handle that, but ctags format does and I thought that Geany read 
ctags files using ctags reader?  In which case wouldn't it read the filename?  
And therefore wouldn't ctags tags files allow goto and such without parsing 
every file in a directory at startup using ProjectOrganiser?
