Option to turn off autotype parenthesis in studio

I’ve been using Roblox Studio for a while and have gotten used to conventional parenthesis usage before the recent update (Typing a forward bracket wouldn’t auto type a backwards bracket)

I was happy to see roblox push out this update recently because it shows they are paying attention to improving the programming experience on roblox, however for myself, though I try to become accustomed to it, I still prefer the conventional parenthesis usage.

The main problem is this:

I always have to delete that extra bracket. while it might not seem like a big deal, it takes time that could have been spent debugging somewhere else, plus it’s tedious. Contrast that to Lua in Eclipse:

What I was typing before it cut off is that roblox will auto type the ‘end’ so it’s really even easier than it seems in the gif. That’s just what I’m used to and I think plenty of other devs are used to it too so it would be a good candidate to have as an option in Studio settings.


Edit: My mistake, I didn’t realize that this was a thing…
