Avoid auto-period character after quick type space in Sublime Text 3


I've noticed that in Sublime Text 3, that if I type a word and then double-space quickly after I'm done entering the word in, it automatically places a period after the word

Something like

obj + two spacebar keystrokes

will result in

obj.

I've looked through the preferences and I see all the auto_complete keys, but even with auto completed disabled, Sublime persists in added that period. How can I disable this behavior in Sublime?


Solution

  • It's a macOS feature that was added with Sierra

    It can be disabled globally via System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text and unchecking Add period with double-space as per the article instructions.

    Quite a handy feature for most things but was driving me to distraction trying to edit .md files!
