A huge +100 to allow disabling this feature. It is obtrusive and the single worst part of Logseq.
Asking users to re-learn how to interact with a text area in a product specific way that caters to a poorly implemented feature isn’t strictly the best way to grow the user base.
I support (and have asked elsewhere) this feature because it’s current imposing on users is not useful on so many levels:
it is not Context-Aware: If I only want to close a previous opened character from the auto-close map, put it only once there, not twice. Then, if I select some text and type a character from the Map, enclose the selected text with that character, as expected;
I want to be able to edit the whole auto-close sets map and keep what I find useful and remove what I find frustrating and not useful to me. For example, I would like that [[ to trigger not [[]] but []( [[]] ) so I can have a standard Markdown Link that also uses the Logseq Link Feature. After Auto-Completion, keep the cursor between the first [] just as with Links and then, if I type Enter or Tab (interchangeably) it should jump in between the Logseq Page Link square brackets;
Bottom line: I want to be able to Independently Toggle OFF the auto-closing characters feature and the Selected Text Enclosing feature as well as UNITE the Auto-Close feature with some internal Text Expanding feature so I can define not only what character sets will get auto-closed but what the end-format will look like just like with text expanders.
Plus one to an option to disable autopairing. I am most frustrated by backticks; I frequently go back to surround existing text with backticks and have to do a lot of extra arrow-keying and deleting. When I enter text, I basically always hit backtick to close the inline code style anyway; it’s faster than moving my fingers back to and from the arrow keys.
Adding more squeak to this wheel. I would go so far as to say this feature should be disabled entirely, and only brought back online once the necessary changes are made to make it optional. Clearly this is a low priority fix, so disable the feature now, then let the solution come when it may.
I am okay with this feature and am surprised that people would look for an alternative to logseq because of it. I suppose that everyone has a different threshold for unacceptable inconvenience.
It frustrates me to no end. I’m taking notes on coding and also pasting links all the time and this makes it so difficult to just recopy the links I’ve already pasted in. It makes not using the mouse practically impossible.
