I cannot stand the auto-completion of TeXStudio (formerly TexMakerX) regarding parentheses, braces, etc. I agree auto-completion is useful sometimes, but here it does just not work as I would like. How can I remove it completely?

Under configuration -> completion nothing is checked. From where do I remove the auto-completion of these?

    There are parentheses (), braces {}, and brackets []. I don’t get any sort of auto-completion for parentheses in Texmaker. Could you describe in how exactly we can reproduce the undesired behavior you’re asking about? A screen shot might be helpful as well.

    Have you seen “Auto Complete Parentheses” under “Special Options” in the “Adv. Editor” tab of the “Configure TeXstudio” window?

  • @Qrrbrbirlbel Great that is it, thank you ! Can you post this as an answer so I accept it ? I actually haven't seen the Advance editor box, which opens up some good customization options. Love it. Thank you.

  • Ah, so we’re talking about Texstudio/TexMakerX? Could you edit your question accordingly?

  • @doncherry: Just did it. Sorry, forgot this isn't the original TexMaker. I will actually have a look to see their differences. Thanks to all.

Under Options → Configure TeXstudio → Adv. Editor → Special options the option Auto Complete Parentheses dis-/enables the Auto-Completion of all braces, brackets and parentheses. The Tab Adv. Editor is visible after the checkbox Show Advanced Options is checked.

    +1 for Screenshot: I am always confused by GUI configurations.

    Wow, Tex Studio has made it very hard to figure out how to turn off their annoying autocomplete feature.

    Yes. How is this considered an advanced feature? It's nearly impossible to write out maths with it enabled.

  • After unchecking that box, for some reason I can't use special characters such as "~" from keyboard anymore. When I type "ALT + 126" I don't get anything. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    Just to make it extra clear since it took me a second: You have to check the box Show-Advanced Options for Adv. Editor to appear.
