Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Micro autocloses brackets and quotation marks when the cursor is placed to the left of certain non-word characters such as - and &.

Is there an option to turn off autoclose whenever the character to the right of the cursor is not a whitespace?

Thanks

Research direction

Reproduce the autoclose behavior described for characters such as - and & using the stated Micro version, NixOS, and kitty environment, then trace the editor's autoclose handling. Define and implement an option that disables autoclose whenever the character to the right is not whitespace, and verify both enabled and disabled behavior.
