Annoying eclipse automatically closing quotes

Eclipse

Eclipse Problem Overview


I've always found the eclipse's automatic close quotes and parenthesis features to be useless. For example hitting on a single " will lead to

"<cursor>"

I don't need the second quote. It's annoying to remove afterward. How to turn this feature off?

Update: I now kept the setting on. If you type another quote " it will break through.

Eclipse Solutions


Solution 1 - Eclipse

Try Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Typing and uncheck the "Strings" checkbox in the "Automatically close" group.

Solution 2 - Eclipse

You need to turn this feature off for all editors: Go to Preferences and in the "type filer text" box type "typing". Then click on each result and un-check all unwanted automatically close options.

Solution 3 - Eclipse

Jump out of the quotes by simply hitting Enter when you are done typing the string contents (at least, in the java editor).

Solution 4 - Eclipse

To turn off auto quotes in Titanium Studio, under preferences -> Titanium Studio -> Editors -> uncheck "Auto-close matching character pairs"

Solution 5 - Eclipse

You could also hit quote when you want to exit the auto-complete quote. This will put you outside the quote as if you closed it yourself. So this feature doesn't really break the flow of you programing.

Solution 6 - Eclipse

The location for similar auto quoting capabilities in PyDev for eclipse: Windows -> PyDev -> Editor -> Typing -> "Automatic literal closing."

In order to enable pressing enter to exit the quotes check "Enable link on automatic parentheses or literals closing."
