I upgraded Jupyter to the latest vesion, 5.0, and it looks like my front-end configuration stopped working.


I don't like that Jupyter auto closes quotes and brackets, and my settings basically just disable them.


It used to work by creating a file ~/.jupyter/custom/custom.js and adding the next JavaScript code:


require(['notebook/js/codecell'], function (codecell) {
  codecell.CodeCell.options_default.cm_config.autoCloseBrackets = false;
})


I've read that since Jupyter 4 this code could be changed by:


IPython.CodeCell.options_default.cm_config.autoCloseBrackets = false;


But it looks like in Jupyter 5, the two previous options stopped working.


The documentation I found regarding the front-end configuration is not helpful (I'll be happy to improve it once I understand it):

http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/frontend_config.html#frontend-config


Can anyone help me understand how to disable auto-brackets and auto-quotes in Jupyter 5 please?


This is the exact version I'm running:



Thank you very much in advance!

Yeah, good luck with getting an answer. I asked the same question back in April and got 0 response. A lot of dumbing-down has happened in v.5 and I reverted back to v.4.4.

Cheers,

Milos.

I see.

I found an answer somewhere, and updated my blog post about setting up jupyter with it. See the last paragraph:

OK, I got! Made a silly mistake in my config file - had 'Cell' instead of 'CodeCell' - but now all's good. I hate showing header by default, like line numbers and auto-close of quotes and brackets off. Here's my config JSON file in ~/,jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json

{

  "Notebook": {

    "Header": false

  },

  "CodeCell": {

    "cm_config": {

      "lineNumbers": true,

      "autoCloseBrackets": false

    }

  }

}
