PhpStorm 9 disable expand on tab

Question

In JavaScript files, if I write for example record and then I press tab, then the editor automatically expand it to <record></record> .

How can I disable this?

Answer 1

Generally speaking such completion (as shown on your second screenshot) should not be working in JavaScript file, unless it's a:

• language injection fragment (HTML/XML and alike) .. which is not the case here because it's not inside string literal;
• some ReactJS/JSX kind of code

Considering the last one: try disabling Emmet for JSX at Settings/Preferences | Editor | Emmet | JSX Settings/Preferences | Editor | Emmet | JSX Settings/Preferences | Editor | Emmet | JSX .

Answer 2

Open Settings->Editor->General->Smart Keys and uncheck "Automatically insert closing tag".

If you're still experiencing this problem, it might because of the following issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-119253 (it should be fixed in 138.2128, 138.2206 but there are several similar open bugs).
