Would be pretty neat to see in geany.

If upstream Scintilla implements it, it's likely we may support it, but otherwise we won't.

FWIW, this is a WIP upstream:

Still not implemented in scintilla

[codebrainz]

This hasn't been implemented yet, not sure why it's closed.

[kugel-]

Because I set the pending timeout tag ages ago and there's been no activity since then.

[codebrainz]

But it's not implemented yet, despite the several months of having a pending timeout label.

[kugel-]

So? Its clear to me that it won't be implemented anytime soon. Why keep feature requests open forever with no activity?

[elextr]

Since this is dependent on an upstream feature request that hasn't seen any activity since 2014 I also suspect it isn't going to happen.

But @kugel-, since setting your "pending timeout" label does not prompt anybody, you need to also post some text to tell those watching that you have put their request on a short fuse unless there is some indication of activity, so that they know about it and can object if they are still interested. It is unreasonable to silently put a target on the request without notifying anybody interested before pulling the trigger.
