As it states in the title: how to I turn off brackets/quotes/curly braces autocompletion in MSVS? I'm interested in C# and XAML mostly but other text editors would be nice too.

EDIT: Currently I'm using MSVS 11 with these extensions:

  • AnkhSVN
  • Concurrency Visualizer
  • PreEmptive Analytics Aggregator Visualizer
  • MSVS PerfWatson
  • VsGraphicsDebuggerPkg
  • Web Tooling Extensions

Most of them must have been pre-installed with msvs installation, since I cannot recall installing them by myself ;)

EDIT2: I'm using msvs in this version: Version 11.0.50323.1 QRELB

EDIT3:
I found out the problem does not occur in currently available msvs11.

If anyone is having this issue with VS 2013, there is a setting for this now. I just reset my VS settings and it started to complete my braces again. For me, it wasn't productivity power tools. You can turn it on/off here:
