Re: integrate autobrackets in jEdit

Thanks sigzero, for making a good feature request, and posting it to the
correct tracker. You even assigned it to the right person.
Too bad he's no longer working on jEdit, so we need another volunteer. I'll
help someone new get started if he/she needs help.

I wish other complainers understood how to do that kind of thing, because
that's how you make things better in jEdit.
