How to stop Overleaf adding the ending symbols to $ and [
In Overleaf/Sharelatex, whenever I type a $ or a [, it will automatically follow up with the corresponding ending symbol. So instead $$ or will appear. How do I stop this from happening, besides by rage-throwing my computer off a bridge? I prefer what appears to be what I typed.
While I'm at it, is there a way to turn off the suggestion window that pops up while typing?
Side question: what is the terminology for an ending symbol that pairs with a beginning symbol? Knowing that would have made it easier for me to search for an answer or to phrase this question.

Click on Menu search Auto-close Brackets select Off.

Thank you! That was so easy, but I was looking in only the wrong places. Oops.
