VS Code HTML mode option to turn off auto close tags












7















I cannot figure out the option to turn off the new "feature" where the VS Code HTML mode editor types stuff for you in the following scenario:



I type <b> and when I hit that last > it then types </b> which I then have to delete and move to where I want it.



How do I keep VS Code from typing stuff for me in this case? I have these two options set like this:



"editor.quickSuggestions": false,
"editor.autoClosingBrackets": false,


Sort of the opposite of this question: VSCode not auto completing HTML

          I found it:



          // Enable/disable autoclosing of HTML tags.
          "html.autoClosingTags": true,


          This new feature shipped with autoClosingTags set to true by default, which was, unfortunately, a disruptive change if you were used to being able to type without random stuff being inserted into your document as a side effect.



          Setting autoClosingTags to false restores the original behavior.



          "html.autoClosingTags": true,
