Fair enough, but I think I'd have to argue that Geany's target users
are not so easily confused as that. If we we were talking about Leafpad
or Kwrite then, yes, I'd agree.

For what it's worth, I was confused by the current behavior. I spent an
hour or so tinkering, sure I was doing something wrong, since (1) it
was behaving in an obviously inconsistent way and (2) it didn't work
the way the docs say it does ("Everytime you write myname <TAB> in
Geany...").

Anyway, thanks again for the patch. With the patch applied,
autocomplete does exactly what I need it to.

Regards,
