How to turn off brackets/quotes auto-completion in Visual Studio

Question

As it states in the title: how to I turn off brackets/quotes/curly braces autocompletion in MSVS? I\'m interested in C# and XAML mostly but other text editors would be nice

Answer 1

To turn off the double-quote auto complete for XAML in Visual Studio 2015, it is:

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> XAML -> Miscellaneous -> Attribute quotes

Answer 2

For Visual Studio 2017:

C# only:

Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > General > Automatic brace completion

All languages:

Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages > General > Automatic brace completion

Answer 3

If anyone is by chance using Resharper you may also want to adjust the settings in

(Resharper Menu, Options) - Environment -> Editor -> Editor Behavior 

and

(Resharper Menu, Options) - Environment -> Intellisense -> Completion Behavior

according to your personal preferences, in addition to the built-in Visual Studio settings mentioned by others.

Answer 4

I realize you did not mention the Productivity Power Tools, however it is very easy to turn off with this. This package can be downloaded via nuget I believe.

Once downloaded go to Tools - Options - Productivity Power Tools - then on the right you will see auto Brace Completion. Turn off!

Answer 5

For those using the 2017 mac version of visual studio: Preferences > Text Editor > Behavior > Automatic Behaviors > "Insert matching brace"

Answer 6

Regarding ReSharper, you might also need to Clear chaches after adjusting settings as Nate Cook described.
