is there a way to stop the ide from adding } after a {

Using Arduino Programming Questions

when I type

if (something = something){

then hit enter the ide adds the closed bracket automatically

Is there a way I can stop this automatic addition of the }

I understand its useful but when most of the code im using is cut and paste I would rather add the } myself.

Yes you can just not hit enter. I'm not being sarcastic, it's what I do.

It's possible to turn this annoying feature off if you're using Arduino IDE 1.8.3:

  • Click the link at the line following File > Preferences > More preferences can be edited directly in the file.
  • Close the Arduino IDE
  • Open preferences.txt using a text editor
  • Change the line:
editor.auto_close_braces=true

to:

editor.auto_close_braces=false
  • Save preferences.txt
