Disable html autocomplete

[Oleg]

Is it possible to disable autocomplete in html-editor?

Not the best solution but edit ...\Anki\aqt_data\web\js\editor.js and replace autoCloseTags:!0 with autoCloseTags:!1 or autoCloseTags:false.

@kelciour Is there a way to set the HTML editor as default?

Can it remember to show html code until I switch it back with Ctrl+Shift+X ? There’s no way to do this currently.

I think this is important enough to be an option in the UI.

I would also suggest that auto-close be disabled by default. If you are writing code, then auto-closing braces makes sense, but when writing HTML, you are often copy-pasting links or adding markup to existing text, and because of this, the auto-closing behavior is frustrating and not helpful.

I have to agree that I find myself more often than not removing the auto-completed part of the tag, especially when I want to wrap some part of text within a tag, but the end tag is generated just next to the start tag, instead of where I want it.
