disable automatic curly brace or bracket insertion in vscode
A later version of vscode has changed this to:
"editor.autoClosingBrackets": "never"
You can also do this in a language-specific way by
"[javascript]": {
"editor.autoClosingBrackets": "never"
}
"always", "languageDefined", and "beforeWhitespace" are the new additional options.
[Previous, now inaccurate, setting.]
// Controls if the editor should automatically close brackets after opening them
"editor.autoClosingBrackets": false,
