[Github-comments] [geany] Geany does not listen to certain auto text replacements (typertask) (#725)

[Marco Merlini]

This is a weird one; and it might not even be a bug (that is, this behaviour might actually be on purpose).

I am using typerTask, a neat little program for automatic text replacements. It works like this: you tell it text to look out for, and then it will automatically replace it with something. For example:

`/for=for (i = 0; i < ; i++){left}{left}{left}{left}{left}{left}`

This would listen for `/for`, and when it finds it, it replaces is with the string you see there, and "hits the left key" in order to put your cursor where you would be typing the upper bound of this for loop. 

Problem is, for some reason, geany refuses to admit any of these characters:
`[]<>{}`
I know this isn't a coincidence, but it's still strange and I would like to be able to use typerTask with geany.
