Spyder Editor - How to Disable Auto-Closing Brackets

Question

Does anyone know how to make Spyder stop automatically inserting closing brackets?

It often results in complete mess when you have multiple levels of different brackets. I had a look around and could only find posts about auto-closing quotes, but I'm not really interested in these. But those brackets are making me slightly miserable.

I had a look in Preferences but the closest I could find is 'Automatic code completion' . But I certainly don't want all of it off especially when working with classes.

In Spyder 4 and Spyder 5 go to:

• Tools - Preferences - Editor - Source code

and deselect the following items:

• Automatic insertion of parentheses, braces and brackets

• Automatic insertion of closing quotes (since it's the same nuisance than with brackets)
