Kib,
I'm also using Ubuntu, and autocomplete is working ok for me (with one problem -- see below). It looks like the only difference between how you and I are using it is the language. I've got no idea how to get geany to use a different language -- I'm guessing there's a "use this
Basically, run it with $ LANG=C geany to get the English locale, $ LANG=de geany for the Germany locale and so on(use 2-letter country codes). But the C library on the system have to support the language you choose. Don't ask me about details on this, I'm not sure. But LANG=C should be working in any case because it's the default fallback. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this doesn't solve Kib's problem but as strange as it is, who knows ;-).
The problem I'm having (please let me know if this should be in a new thread) is that I'm trying to create an autocomplete construct for "{{". It looks like this::
[HTML] {{={{ %cursor% }}but it fails (that is, it doesn't do anything when I hit Tab except insert some spaces, as if "{{" was not an autocomplete construct).
Yes. Reason: '{' doesn't belong the default wordchars which define the characters a word may contain to be recognized. I just added a new key "wordchars" to the section "Special" which lets you define your own wordchars specially for auto completion. Check out SVN r1960. Uncomment the wordchars line and add '{' to the list of characters and it should work.
