Thank you for a very nice text editor!

I would like to turn off autocompletion of ending brackets in JavaScript ( ) { } [ ] , since I find it annoying and would like to set brackets myself.

Please tell me how to do this?

Best regards
Iwan

I think you are looking for option "auto_close_brackets"
in Plugins > Options Editor
Check "For Lexer", choose "Javascript" and put empty string in "User" value.

Thank you for the advice.

I tried that but it didn't work

When you write "empty string" do you mean with a RegEx expression perhaps? Like \s{1}?

Press enter on empty field. You will have a "lexer JavaScript.json" file in "cudatext/settings" folder that will look something like this Just ckecked again, it works for me, maybe try restarting Cudatext.
(A little caveat: it disables bracket auto closing in all lexers , maybe Alexey will clarify this)

Now it works, thank you so much!

I just didn't know I was supposed to press "enter" afterwards.

do you have option in "lexer JavaScript.json" and it disables bracket completion in C++ lexer?
steps to repeat, pls?

On fresh install:
Added ' "auto_close_brackets": "" ' to 'lexer JavaScript.json'
Restart.
When .c and .js files opened:
* first brackets autoclose in .c (expected)
* then switch to .js - doesn't autoclose (expected)
* switch back to .c - doesn't autoclose (weird)

edit: on version cudatext-linux-gtk2-amd64-1.118.2.0.tar.xz

i confirm this, it's a bug, to-fix.

it was easy to fix it, will be OK in 1.118.5.

made the same fix for almost all autocomplete_* options. they were coded the same way.
