Disable autocompletion of braces, strings and parentheses in Eclipse


Autocompletion of braces and quotes may be productivity gain for  lots of people, that's why Eclipse has that settings on by default right? I found that this feature is breaks my coding flow.. and thankfully there is a way to turn it off easily.

Access Preferences (Alt+,/Eclipse->Preferences in OSX or Window->Preferences in others
Type braces into the text search and disable in Java->Editor->Typing or Javascript->Editor->Typing depending on what source code you're working on.

Uncheck the items under "Automatically close"
