how to disable auto fill

[m_essaid]

Hi,

Since the last version when I type "quote" I have two quotes, an opening parenthetis I have the closing one, etc etc

It is really annoying.

Is there a was to disable this feature ?

Thank you,

Mehdi

Hi,

Already this request has been raised in the Feature request, Give Kudo to make it count

There are many IDE's out there that have this precise feature.  The idea is to save keystrokes while editing code.  When you put in an open parenthesis, you always need a close... so, the IDE adds the close for you.  I'll admit, on the upgrade, it took me a while to get used to as well.  But I've found it very helpful to make sure that I always close every string, parent, function brace, etc.

While I understand it would be nice to turn it off, it might just be a matter of being familiar with a new way for the editor to function.  Feel free to Kudo adding the option to turn it off... but for me, I've gotten comfortable with it and it's really a rather nice feature.

@tristaanogre, I know sometimes we have to change our habits, but here it don't fit at all with the way I code (especially with copy/paste of code)

The problem is that the feature with quotes is broken.

If you type a single " it doesn't double them, but then when you try to close the quote it does.

Example:

1. Type: "
2. Type Some text: "test
3. Type: " to close the quotes and you end up with "test""

Even typing "" will result in """

Extremely frustrating.

Ah, I see.  Yeah, closing parens, braces, brackets, etc., is working well... closing quotes... not so well.  THAT I agree needs fixed.

I wonder if it has to do with the fact that  two single quotes together or two double quotes together are a way of noting that the quote should be included in the string... if something is getting a bit mixed up in the parser there.

the double parenthetis cause issues also : in delphi-like script, when you type (* to begin to comment a block it writes (*)...
