Visual Studio Code Disables Auto Close Tags

Question

I'm on the verge of despair ...

{ "html.autoClosingTags": false, } 

What else needs to be done to remove these terrible autocomplete tags?

I searched online and it really bothers me more than necessary. I apologize if this seems like a frivolous question, but I am ready to try everything and everything at this stage.

Answer 1

Open Visual Studio Code, go to " Preferences → Settings

On the User Settings tab, select Text Editor and search for Auto Closing Brackets . Installed as never before .

Based on Visual Studio Code 1.28 for macOS.

Answer 2

You may need to remove the comma after "false". Visual Studio code does not seem to like commas after the last statement in the settings.

Answer 3

For me, the solution was to expand. I had the Auto Close Tag extension installed (who knows when I thought it was a good idea) that redefined built-in autocomplete. Disabling the extension fixed it.

Check your included extensions and see if there are any that can add this behavior.

Answer 4

Just ran into this problem, and I went to settings -> settings -> extensions -> HTML -> disable HTML tag completion. Hope this helps!
