Disable automatic end; when I type begin ?
lazarus / 9-Editor

The feature where the IDE automatically inserts "end;" every time I
type "begin" and then (sometimes some time later) press Enter, is
rather annoying to me.

I've had it severla time placing "end;" in places it did not belong.
I tried to disable it, but cannot find the right place to do so.
I must be overlooking it.

Any help?

Just in case someone need the feature !!!
after you type "begin" if you do not want an automatic "end;" to be
inserted -
at the end of every line hold [shift] pressed and hit [enter] to
change line.
Ex.: if (contition) then begin [shift]+[enter] <----writting code here
           docommand [shift]+[enter]               <----writting code
here
           docommand [shift]+[enter]               <----writting code
here
           end;[manual type end]                     <----writting
code here
        if (contition) then begin               
 <----------------existing code
          if (contition) then begin
           if (contition) then begin
           end;
          end;
        end ;

Nice :-)  I never knew about <shift>-Enter.

it can be switched under: Editor / "Completion and Hints"

"Add close statements for Pascal blocks"

I had asked this same question one to two weeks ago and got the same
answer. A few days later I wanted to search this setting again, but
did not find it any more without looking up the answer in the forum.

The reason why this setting is so hard to find is IMHO that there is
another "completion" in the "codetools" section. No idea why I am
always overlooking the "completion" node in the "editor" section.
Don't know, but if other users have this same issue both "completion"
groups should somehow be combined.

That's why I always asked develeopers who works on options: PUT HINT
ON EVERY CHECKBOX/RADIO/COMBOBOX.
