Saving more often is in 1.38, splitting prefs and session will be in
1.39 (unscheduled).

The Geany project does not make packages, you need to ask the distros.

Remember Geany does not dictate this, it can handle files scattered
everywhere, but plugins do need to have a more constrained view, and
"under one directory" is the paradigm they have chosen (IIUC, I don't
use those plugins).

I don't know about your projects, but in conventional build workflows
(cmake, meson, autotools) it is the job of the "install" step to put
binaries in the path.  Install is usually a separate step since if it
is installing to system directories it needs to be executed with
privileges, although thats not a problem for you installing to ~.
