Mint 20 Issue there should be an option to highlight matching parenthese and quotes without inserting matching parentheses and quotes

Steps to reproduce

type a left parenthesis or quotation mark

Expected behaviour inserting the right parenthesis or quote should be an separate option from highlighting existing matching parentheses and quotes

[paulsmason]

Inserting the corresponding right parenthesis (or quote) when the programmer enters the left one works great for programmers who write code left to right and top to bottom without ever making a mistake. For those of us mortals who occasionally have to go back an make corrections it's an incredible pain.

If I understood your issue correctly, you want to disable adding matching backets etc? This should be easy to do by disabling the plugin that does exactly that in the Settings > Plugins menu.

The only thing I can contribute is that I wanted no highlights by disabling in /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/ and the selected style.
