I've been enjoying the features of Visual Studio Code, but there's one specific behavior that has been counterproductive for me: the automatic pairing of triple backticks (```) in Markdown files.
To clarify, I'm not looking to disable all auto-pairings—just the triple backticks. Whenever I type a single backtick, VS Code automatically completes it with two additional backticks. This is time-consuming to remove manually each time and disrupts my workflow.
Here's an example of what happens:
Markdown - VS Code - Triple Backticks
Is there a way to disable this feature? If not, could someone guide me on how to disable this behavior in my own settings?
I've seen a similar question but it doesn't address my specific need to disable only the triple backticks while keeping other auto-pairings intact.
I've also created an issue on GitHub to address this, but I'm wondering if there's a workaround or setting that I've missed.
Is there a way to achieve this? If not, could someone guide me on how to modify this behavior in my settings?
I tried searching through the VS Code settings and keybinding options to find a way to disable the automatic pairing of triple backticks specifically, but found no such setting. I expected to find an option that allows me to turn off this particular auto-pairing while keeping others. What actually happens is that every time I type a single backtick, it auto-completes to triple backticks, which I then have to manually remove.
I've also created a GitHub issue to address this concern. Additionally, I've commented on the commits in the VS Code repository where this feature was recently implemented, but have yet to find a solution or workaround.
I was expecting to find an option within the VS Code settings that would allow me to disable the automatic pairing of triple backticks specifically, while keeping other auto-pairings active.
