  2. Click 'Text Editing'
  3. Scroll down and disable 'Autocomplete braces'
  4. Go into the text editor and open braces and press enter, closing braces will be autofilled.

    Hi! I'd like to take this one. I've traced the issue — the autocompleteBraces setting is defined in TextEditingSettings and wired to the UI toggle, but it's never passed through to the SourceEditor configuration. The Behavior struct in CodeEditSourceEditor doesn't have a bracket completion flag, so setUpTextFormation() always registers the bracket pair filters unconditionally. The fix will need a small change in CodeEditSourceEditor to add the flag, then wiring it up in CodeFileView.swift.

    Hi! I'd like to work on this issue. Could a maintainer please assign it to me? I've forked the repo and plan to trace the settings → CodeEditSourceEditor wiring gap to implement the fix.
