[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Creating a user defined snippet config file produces a broken file by default (#2648)

[Ian Kenney]

Geany version: 1.36

Attempting to create a `snippets.conf` by Tools -> Configuration Files -> snippets.conf brings up a file with comments that are all inverted.

```
Geany's snippets configuration file
# #
use \n or %newline% for a new line (it will be replaced by the used EOL char(s) - LF, CR/LF, CR).
use \t or %ws% for an indentation step, it will be replaced according to the current document's indent mode.
use \s to force whitespace at beginning or end of a value ('key= value' won't work, use 'key=\svalue').
use %key% for all keys defined in the [Special] section.
use %cursor% to define where the cursor should be placed after completion. You can define multiple
    %cursor% wildcards and use the "Move cursor in snippet" to jump to the next defined cursor
    position in the completed snippet.
You can define a section for each supported filetype to overwrite default settings, the section
name must match exactly the internal filetype name, run 'geany --ft-names' for a full list.
# #
Additionally, you can use most of the template wildcards like {developer}, {command:...},
or {date} in the snippets.
See the documentation for details.

For a list of available filetype names, execute:
geany --ft-names

Default is used for all filetypes and keys can be overwritten by [filetype] sections
# [Default]

special keys to be used in other snippets, cannot be used "standalone"
can be used by %key%, e.g. %brace_open%
nesting of special keys is not supported (e.g. brace_open=\n{\n%brace_close% won't work)
key "wordchars" is very special, it defines the word delimiting characters when looking for
a word to auto complete, leave commented to use the default wordchars
# [Special]
# brace_open=\n{\n\t
# brace_close=}\n
# block=\n{\n\t%cursor%\n}
# block_cursor=\n{\n\t%cursor%\n}
# #wordchars=_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
