<pre style='color:#555'>>  
 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);
</pre>
<p>I investigated what Eclipse does, it autocompletes <code>{</code> only when return is typed after it so</p>
<pre><code>if(blah){
</code></pre>
<p>becomes</p>
<pre><code>if(blah){
    |
}
</code></pre>
<p>where | is cursor.</p>
<p>This works pretty well, for me anyway, but its significantly different to the current Geany autocomplete.  Maybe the second commit using return after <code>{</code> can be modified to do autocomplete instead of on <code>{</code> additional alternative to current behaviour.</p>
