For example, with C++. Thank you.

Is it possible to use this feature on legacy Windows? It's depending on the terminal feature that is not available on legacy Windows.

[SpartanJ]

Yes, you shouldn't have any problem, it doesn't use the terminal.

This feature is only about build, isn't it? How to run the compiled program? Geany has a button to run the compiled program.

Btw, in Geany, %f is the name of the current file you are working on and %e is the name of that file but without extension. Is there something equivalent in ecode?

Yes, only build. The run program option will be added when the debugger plugin is implemented. I understand that in your case this would be useful because you don't have access to the console, so it could be handy for you.

Ohh, not it's not because it's designed to call directly to a build script. But it makes total sense to give you access to that. I'll add it! If you expand the advanced options you'll see the default custom variables available (${project_root}, ${build_type}, ${os}, ${nproc}). And you can add any custom variable, but this one is contextual so I'll have to add it myself.
