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.
