Hi All,

   first, excuse the venting.  Who the %*&^$# decided to inflict the "always type a matching open/close pair" when typing any of ( [ { etc on us?  Would that person please consider commiting hara kiri?

OK, now slightly calmer, I find it /exceedingly/ annoying.  Is this really an appropriate default?    How does one turn it off?


The cases that send me up my *&%$^# tree are when I intend to add a single one in front of some string when I go back to edit some text (e.g. add an exception handler around some phrase).  Here, typing the pair *is just broken*.  Doing it at the end of a text or at the end of line is defensible.  Doing it always IS F*&^%$*G BROKEN.
