How to stop IntelliJ from surrounding a line of highlighted code with a bracket (curly or square)

Hi everyone,

I've been looking on Stack-overflow but couldn't find an answer, so thought i'd ask it here instead.

I'd like to switch off IntelliJ's setting that automatically places highlighted code within a bracket (curly or square) or parentheses whenever i press that specific bracket ({, }, [, or ]). What happens now with my current settings is that, whenever i press (,  ), {, }, [, or ] while some code is highlighted - say "a + b". Then that code, "a + b" is encased. E.g. if i pressed '{', then the code becomes '{a + b}'. So i can i disable this functionality?

Thank you guys. As always, i appreciate your help.

Regards

Jude
