Dear Geany devs,
Some time ago I received the attached patch though this list (from Enrico?). I really love the added functionality to prevent duplicate automatically added quotes and brackets.
Can this be added to Geany itself? Ideally this would be activated with a checkbox in prefs > editor > completions.
I'm not sure. If I remember correctly, that patch had issues which should be solved first. But since I don't use the auto completing braces/brackets feature at all, I'm not much motivated to spend a lot of time on it which I don't have :).
The patch works fine for me as is. It's just what you're used to, I guess.
The "issue" with this patch was that you're able to overwrite existing non-auto-completed characters, but without this patch the autocomplete feature is almost unusable to me.
But it would be cool if anyone with a little time and interest would pick it up and make it ready to use.
Maybe if it's part of Geany it'll attract more attention and gets improved sooner? Again: just a guess ;)
