Is there a way to stop Xcode from inserting a closing parenthesis after typing an open paren followed by a space?

Question

Nothing in any IDE anywhere infuriates me as much as this behaviour. I have searched for a way to stop it but cannot find it anywhere. I am constantly having to delete these idiotic auto-provided closing parentheses manually, to the extent that I now start doing it automatically as a reflex even when using well-designed IDEs.

try this: you can uncheck Automatically insert closing braces("}") and/or enable type over completions and/or automatically balance brackets in Obj-c Method calls
