Option for toggling autoclose of angle brackets

[aftix]

The current editor.autoClosingBrackets effects all brackets like () and {}. I'd like to specifically opt out of closing < since < is used for comparisons and shift operations.

We don't register <> as an auto-closing bracket pair:

rust-analyzer/editors/code/language-configuration.json

Lines 16 to 22 in 1182387

	"autoClosingPairs": [
	{ "open": "{", "close": "}" },
	{ "open": "[", "close": "]" },
	{ "open": "(", "close": ")" },
	{ "open": "\"", "close": "\"", "notIn": ["string"] },
	{ "open": "/*", "close": " */" }
	],

This might be an issue with your configuration. Do you have other Rust plugins installed that could interfere?

Huh, setting a rust language specific option editor.autoClosingBrackets to languageDefined gives me all of those but doesn't auto close > anymore. In fact, I can't get any setting to recreate the behavior now, despite the fact someone else said they had the same problem.

Closing since you can't reproduce it, but you might want to keep an eye on #12379.
