I like the functionality of autoclosing brackets, quotations, etc... but when you're inside a string for instance: "<inside here>" and you start typing a single quote or if the quotes are inverted it'll try to auto pair quotations inside the string. Is there a way to disable this functionality inside strings?
How do you disable auto-closing single quotations inside strings?

// Controls if the editor should automatically close brackets after opening them
"editor.autoClosingBrackets": false,
In your settings.json file will disable auto-closing brackets, parentheses, quotes, etc.
There is no separate switch for selectively disabling quotation matching, only a global setting for all.
There is a setting to disable auto-closing of all quotes in the latest version of VSCode as of August 2018 in VSCode 1.27. Add this to your settings.json:
"editor.autoClosingQuotes": "never"
If you want to disable this for a specific language, nest the above setting under a language-specific setting. For example, to exclusively disable this for the scheme language,
"[scheme]": {
"editor.autoClosingQuotes": "never",
},
Unfortunately, I do not think there is an option to exclusively disable auto-closing of single quotes or double quotes.
I used Prettier to organized my code. when used single quote it will automatic become double quote. you can use this setting.
file>preference>setting type prettier : single quote
tick the radio button (if true, will use single instead of double quotes)
thank you
I tried editing the settings within the VSC settings UI and it wouldn't change it. I had to edit the settings.json file and add a line. The settings.json file is located in: C:\Users\<Your_User>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User and add this line: "editor.autoClosingBrackets": false,
