Annoying eclipse automatically closing quotes
EclipseEclipse 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."
