[Tex/LaTex] How to disable auto-complete braces in TEXStudio

auto-completionbracestexstudio

I want to disable auto-complete for braces in TeXstudio. In its simplest form, when I type { I do not want it to automatically add a }. When it does this, many times I end up deleting the brace, which is a hassle. Also, when I hit Ctrl+I to get into italics mode I don't want it to auto-complete the ending brace either. I have gone to Options -> Configure TeXstudio... -> Completion -> Show Advanced Options and disabled everything. But it still auto-completes them.

In case it matters the version I have is TeXstudio 2.8.4.

Best Answer

Please uncheck "Auto Complete Parentheses". It can be found "Options / configure TeXStudio" (see screenshot). It does work for me under TeXStudio 2.12.14. close parentheses automatically

Edit: as for the shortcut CTRL+I. I don't think there is an easy way to achieve that. You will have to either alter an existing cwl file (where the definitions are stored) or create a new one. Perhaps you can find an answer when you search for the term "custom cwl".
