Shame on me!
We are using the autocompletion list in Geany *and* we are using a
userlist with index 1. So you need to use index 2 or above.
Sorry for the confusion, I had a look at the code and still failed.
/me hides.

You caught me again. Better don't count much on my words, seems I don't
really know what I'm talking about.
I was really sure SCI_AUTOCSETSEPARATOR can be set for each list but
you are right, it is set for all lists. So, you are stuck to '\n'.

I hesitate to comment on this, I will probably fail again :).
Maybe SCI_AUTOCCANCEL helps you if called before or after your list is
shown but really not sure without knowing your code.

Same here, my comments confuse you more than they help, sorry :(.
