Hi,
I am currently modifying the autoclose-feature in the following way: if you type the closing character right behind the opening one, the completion should be undone: ()) -> () I find this useful e.g. if you've got a non-argument function and type the brackets (), or just an empty string "". IMO it's much faster to type the closing character manually than pressing the "right-arrow"-key.
My question is whether you consider this sensible and thus if it is worth creating a pull request when I am content with my changes.
Cheers, Johannes

Hey, this is great! I wonder why I never noticed that plugin. And it holds some extra features I was going to try next. Thanks!

I hate the Geany builtin autocomplete feature[1], and since/if Pavel's plugin does the same or better, I'd love to deprecate/remove this from Geany's core. So basically, no :) You should rather contribute to Pavel's plugin if there are some things to polish.

[1] I never liked any of these kinds of autocomplete, but Geany's one is really terrible.

I think it was noted somewhere in the past that after a period of maturing (with polishes like this added) the plugin can become a core plugin, at which point the core autoclose (not autocomplete) can be deprecated or removed.

Yes, that plugin is really nice and I think it would be a good idea to remove the builtin autoclose, because if someone (including me...) likes to use it and has this option, it's likely he does not even check if there is a plugin available for this job. If you don't provide the feature, one who would like to use it will look for this plugin which is much more configurable.
