Automatic paren/bracket closing in 2.5.0?
Many thanks, Duncan. I did not expect this to be an OS-specific issue, and figured it must be the new "default" and thus configurable from within the program, though indeed I am using MacOS. --Adam

Hello, Just upgraded to 2.5.0, and found that R now includes an rparen (right parentheses) or rbracket whenever I enter in an lparen. While I can see the use of this function, it doesn't mesh well with my personal style of using R (e.g., using the up arrow, adding an rparen, jumping to the beginning of the line, and then wrapping a summary, for instance). Some 10 minutes of google searching has failed to come up with a solution for turning this feature off--any suggestions from the list?
You don't say your OS. If it's MacOSX (which I think is the only platform with this feature), then see the R-sig-mac list, and in particular Simon Urbanek's posting on May 23:

Unfortunately it didn't make it to the Preferences UI, so you have to paste this in Terminal: defaults write org.R-project.R auto.close.parens NO If you want to revert back to the default you can use: defaults delete org.R-project.R auto.close.parens
