Ah, so these are autocompletion lists? I thought you were using user
lists ... Sorry, but this is a bit confusing. In Scintilla docs it says:
Index must be greater than 0 as this is how Scintilla tells the
difference between an autocompletion list and a user list.

That's what I was afraid of, so I'd better ask.

Uhm, confusing again.
There is no index-parameter for SCI_AUTOCSETSEPARATOR and I'd rather
thought that this is a setting for all lists (haven't tried, though).

I'll do.

I haven't thought about this, but the plugin works pretty good as is.
Probably Geany does exactly what I want here :-)
The only thing which is not so good is the standard Geany
autocompletion appearing while my list is shown, as I said.

OK. I'll have a look at it.
But not today. Enough Scintilling for now :-)
