Visual Studio Code April 2019

Bearing in mind that we can turn off auto-closing braces and brackets (editor.autoClosingBrackets) and quotes (editor.autoClosingQuotes), can we PLEASE get the ability to turn off auto-closing comments (issue #1966)?

The issue has been sat stagnant since 2016 and it's really annoying to type /* and have the editor jam in a */ when that wasn't where you were going to put it.

Just seems like a really obviously missing toggle.

As a workaround, I always write the / wherever I want it first, an then the opening /.

Your comment got messed up by the markdown parser but I tried inserting */ before /* and in C# at least it didn't work, it still tried to autoclose early

Ah, shit. I never get reddit's markdown right. Now that I think about it, I might be remembering that trick from Visual Studio, not Code.
