Adobe-Brackets disable auto-indent and auto-close tags

I have an issues with Adobe Brackets out there after trying to change the preferences with solutions that are out there.

Issue:
I opened with the head tag. After typing some code, on the last line, i begin to close the head tag and it auto completes the tag.

In addition, it auto-indents the closing tag.

How do I disable both of these? I have tried changing the preferences smartIndent, whenClosing, whenOpening all to 'false' but to no avail. Or perhaps I need an idiot-proof explanation of how to do it.

Update:
The auto-indent of the tag seem to follow the previous written line of code. I would like to prevent this.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • The Brackets Wiki Preferences page details the closeTags option, which, to disable the particular behavior you're experiencing, should have the whenClosing option disabled, at least.

    Add this to your preferences file:

    "closeTags": {
    "whenClosing": false
}

    Additionally, to disable tag autoclosing when typing the opening tag, disable whenOpening, as well:

        "whenOpening": false
