How to disable Auto Complete in Sublime Text (2&3)

Question

I understand there are a few questions surrounding the auto_complete function in Sublime Text.

However, I have not been able to disable the auto_complete function in the Sublime Text settings (I've tried both Sublime Text 2&3). I just get the "Error trying to parse settings: Unexpected trailing characters in Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings:5:1" error when inputting the {"auto_complete": false,} command in user settings.

Would love to turn off the setting, but can't find a way to. Any help much appreciated!

This is the first result that pops up when Googling "Sublime Text disable autocomplete", and none of the answers answered my question completely, so I'd just like to add to the existing answers that if you are setting auto_complete to false and still having problems with Sublime Text auto-closing parentheses and brackets, then you also need to set auto_match_enabled to false. This should solve the problem. So as a whole, here is what I have:

{
    "auto_complete": false,
    "auto_complete_commit_on_tab": false,
    "auto_close_tags":false,
    "auto_match_enabled": false
}
