Description

The python console automatically inserts the closing bracket when you type
e.g. for

iface.mapCanvas(

will be expanded automatically to

iface.mapCanvas()

with the cursor placed between the brackets.

Therefore I often find myself typing

iface.mapCanvas())

or

iface.mapCanvas().refresh)

And then have either a python error or an extra click onto delete

I'd propose to
  • either to remove this behavior of auto-inserting brackets
  • overwrite auto-inserted brackets by manually typed ones (unless e.g. mouse- or arrow-interaction occured which would "commit" the auto-inserted bracket)

Any opinions on this?

You can turn auto insert off in the console settings.

I should have checked before... Thanks Nathan.

Any opinions about the second proposal and about changing the default setting value for this to be off?
