Title: Display opening bracket
Post by: Markstar on April 27, 2009, 10:51:18 am

Hi,
I just started using Code::Blocks and it seems to be a nice program. But one thing is bothering me very much right now:
When I enter an opening bracket (, { or [ , it is not displayed right away; only when I enter a second character.

Is there any way to disable this feature? I looked in the settings but couldn't find it.  :(

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards

I had a similar problem when I started with codeblocks, but it was only a problem of the colours set in syntax highlighting.

For fixing that, only go to "Settings->Editor...->Syntax highlighting", select the programing language and then the highlighting type that is going wrong for you, probably "Matching brace highlight" and change the background or the foreground colour.

Ahh, thank you for your answer! Your solution was perfect (except that it was "No maching brace highlight"), now back to coding.  :P

Cheers!
