If I understand you correctly, you're referring to this bug report [1]. It was recently discussed on the list [2], and there is even some code implementing the feature as a plugin [3].

Oh, great! Amazing that this has been worked on so recently. It's almost what I want... But I think it should be the default behavior for 'auto-close quotes and brackets', instead of a plugin. I don't think any extra configuration options are necessary - nobody would complain about it if they've already turned on the 'auto-close' feature. I also think that the actual characters are much more appropriate triggers than 'Ctrl+<key>'.
I fully agree with these points: the feature should be included in core Geany, or best in its 'addons' plugin. And actual characters are preferable to 'ctrl' combos. But I'm not sure that the Geany devels would approve of this.

Thanks for your help! Nathan
