Hi,
First of all, thanks for this great piece of code that is Geany !
Now, I would like to use auto-close brackets, brace and string in Geany.
As it doesn't looks very complicated, it could be a fairly easy feature to
implement for a first time contributor like me.
So here is my proposal:
These options will auto-close ( [ { ' and " while typing, positionning the
cursor between the pair.
Nothing really revolutionar here as some IDE already implement that.
Moreover, it sounds this cannot be done using snippets and I can't
seriously think about doing a plugin for such a feature (I'm not even
sure it's fesable). So I believe it belongs to Geany's core.
I had a look in the sources, but before coding, I would like some
feedback about this proposal and the following questions:
- where should I put the booleans options in the conf panel ?
"Editor" > "Completion" tab sounds obvious, what do you think about that ?
- should I group brackets and braces, under the same checkbox and
[single-]quotes in an other one ?
- what about adding a "Typing" Section to group these options in the
completion tab ?
Thanks for your feedbacks and comments !
