Thanks Pavel. The auto completion of curly brackets and the "improved auto 
indentation" features are useful for me. I often write short (~100 lines) 
C++/Java programs in Geany, and the default auto completion feature does not 
work for my usage (e.g. nested curly brackets).

There is one suggestion. Right now, after hitting enter in-between curly 
brackets -> "{|}", the new cursor position seems a bit off. In line 241 of 
the source code, why is it this way?

sci_set_current_position(sci, pos + 2 + start_indent / indent_width, TRUE);

Why not shift to the position where typing normally starts?

sci_set_current_position(sci, pos + 1 + start_indent + indent_width, TRUE);
