Is it possible to do this? I can't find anything in the Options that disables this.

For example, if I type 

<table cellpadding=

it automatically inserts "" and positions the cursor between the two quotes. This is not what I prefer to do. I prefer to type without quotes, and then select the text and format it -- it is much quicker. In previous versions of Visual Studio, it did the auto-insert by default, but I was able to disable it. I can't find a way to do it in Visual Studio 2013. Disabling "brace completion" does not work. It's driving me nuts!

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> HTML

  • General -> Automatic brace completion
  • Advanced -> Insert attribute value quotes

or/and in HTML (Web Forms)

  • Formatting -> Insert attribute value quotes when typing

    I have turned off all three of these options (in 2017) and the undesireable behaviour still occurs... any suggestions? – Matt Jun 18 '18 at 23:45
  • @Matt do you have resharper? That might also be doing it. – Matt Sep 05 '22 at 00:57
