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 :).
But it would be cool if anyone with a little time and interest would pick it up and make it ready to use. The mentioned issues should have been discussed in the related mailing list thread some months ago. Search the archives.
Thanks.
Regards, Enrico

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 ;)
-H-

Good point. If I don't forget it, I'll commit the patch later this week (probably at the weekend), so it gets a more wider testing and ideally a followup patch to fix the remaining issues.

Enrico,
What's the status of this patch? I just checked svn and it seems it's not included yet...

Sorry again. I recently started to include it while noticing that making it optionally isn't that trivial (or missed something obvious) and then skipped it due to limited time.
I won't promise again to include it, still I hope to find time for it.

I just installed a new PC and wanted to apply the auto-brace-check-dup fix to geany's svn trunk but the patch doesn't apply anymore :(
is this still up for inclusion in Geany?

I don't mind. I don't want to touch the related code as it is quite easy to break and even though it's not working 100% properly at the moment, chances are good to even break it more when touching, at least for me.
