XBRACKETS - bracket MATCHING IN NOTEPAD++

[BROUGH67]

Hello nice people,
my first ever post, so take it easy. Thanks in advance.

I found a good bracket matching plugin for NOTEPAD++ called XBRACKETS and installed it. It adds the right bracket as you enter the left. Mostly it does what it says on the tin.

However, there is a bug - if you type the following continuously, you get an unmatched bracket scenario:-

• YEAR(EDATE()

To be clear what happens: when you type the first left bracket, it puts in the right bracket correctly for YEAR, so you get:-

• YEAR() with the cursor placed in-between the brackets.

I then proceed to type EDATE and the right-hand bracket is not auto-completed Instead you get

• YEAR(EDATE()

The only details for the author i have is from the plugins blurb as below. My question is, how to I use the information below to contact him/her? @d0vgan Vitaliy is a member of tek-tips, but i see no DM option.

Allows autocompletion of brackets ([{""}])
Inserts corresponding right bracket when the left bracket is typed. Uses "smart" autocompletion: * next character is analysed for ([{ brackets; * next & previous characters are analysed for " quote.

There's an envelope icon.

Thanks, now SOLVED !
The problem was solved by ticking a SETTING "add right bracket even if already exists".
