Turn off the extra quote/brace when I type quote/brace

Just a simple thing; When I type a quote, I just want one quote character, not two automatically.

Most times when I'm adding braces or quotes around something, the extra one that helpfully pops up automatically just gets in the way.

How do I turn this feature off?

See if this works for you.

Menu: Settings -> Editor
General Settings
Tab: Editor Settings
Section: "Indent Options"
Uncheck "Brace Completion"

Dammit, the setting is not saving... I had an issue earlier (from adding custom themes) where it wouldn't overwrite default.conf due to permissions, but I fixed that, proven by the fact that the dark theme stays now.

But this setting won't stick... is it in a different file?

No, it is in the same file.
Have you tried if other settings are saved correctly?

Hmm it's saving now... I'll have to write that off as something I missed.  Thanks again.

You have to press "save-all" for codeblocks to save the settings. Only hitting "OK" is not enough.... Or you need a clean close of codeblocks so it will save it automatically...
