Yeah, if we want we can also limit the symbol side under 80 if it's a concern -- although again, if there isn't enough info it can stop being useful. > (Just a shameless promotion - with my LSP plugin the clangd server seems to > always return the "right" symbol based on its true visibility from the given > position so no popup like that seems to be necessary.) There is a LSP plugin for Geany? Nice, I should give that a try :) > I'm actually not sure if these strings should be translatable - is it useful > for anything?

One thing it was sued for was to use proper punctuation in some languages. For example in French we like to put a NBSP[^1] before e.g. a colon, so it used to be `"%s:%d : %s"` instead of `"%s:%s: %s"`. But it's probably not a big issue, no. I'm not very knowledgeable about RTL, but you probably don't mind, as it's reversed on screen as well, so you probably want the string in the same order… or it'd be a very common issue. Yet, you should be able to get away with the GNU `%m$` format extension. [^1]: OK, sue me if you know it's actually not an NBSP, but the effect is basically the same -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/3547#issuecomment-1751820720 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
