[Tex/LaTex] Texmaker – autocomplete problem

Question

Is there a way to stop Texmaker from auto-putting the completion tag of every command when I use autocomplete? Like \begin{document} and I press enter in the auto-complete and it includes the \end{document}. Is there a way to switch this off without switching off auto-complete?

Answer 1

I think that is not possible without touching the source code. You can customize completions in in User > Customize Completion as explained in Customize auto-completion in Texmaker. However even any custom completion with \begin{...} is ended automatically with \end{...} and very unfortunately you cannot modify the items provided by TeXmaker.

I figured that a modification of the file settings could do to the trick, but I failed completely in this sense. As explained in Backup of user-defined entries of autocompletion in Texmaker? you can save a setting file, modify the fields of Editor\UserCompletion or Shortcuts\data where the are defined shorcuts as \\begin{quote}\n/\n\\end{quote}/0/1 and restore it, but this has no effect on the default autocompletion, as well as modifying directly the hidden configuration file ~\.config/xm1/texmaker.ini ... so this a dead end for me. :-(
