 static void auto_close_chars(ScintillaObject *sci, gint pos, gchar c)
 {
 	const gchar *closing_char = NULL;
-	gint end_pos = -1;
-
-	if (utils_isbrace(c, 0))
-		end_pos = sci_find_matching_brace(sci, pos - 1);

I investigated what Eclipse does, it autocompletes `{` only when return is typed after it so
```
if(blah){
```
becomes
```
if(blah){
    |
}
```
where | is cursor.

This works pretty well, for me anyway, but its significantly different to the current Geany autocomplete.  Maybe the second commit using return after `{` can be modified to do autocomplete instead of on `{` additional alternative to current behaviour.
