Re: integrate autobrackets in jEdit

No, it is an "all or nothing" with completions in the plugin. It would be
nice (but beyond me) to have an options pain with something like (which is
what you suggested):

--- Autopairing ---
[X]  '
[X] "
[X] [
[X] {

--- Custom ---
[   ]    [textbox for custom paring]

Then you could pair what you wanted to pair.
