Hi Alex, I'm also really keen for this feature, so could I please request a recent copy of the plugin? Perhaps you could update your repo on github? I'd like to start using it right away, and could help to fix any bugs.
I also really think that this should to be added to the 'Auto-close quotes and brackets' feature in core Geany, since it is the expected behavior for any user coming from TextMate or Gedit.
