Enable auto closing in strings

[jb-alvarado]

Hello,
In version 25c732e, the feature that automatically closes curly braces in strings was changed. Is it possible to override this change so that the auto-closing function is restored?

VS Code offers a configuration setting: "editor.autoClosingBrackets": "always" but it has no effect.

There is no setting that restores this. editor.autoClosingBrackets does not override notIn, so "always" has no effect inside strings.

25c732e added "notIn": ["string"] to {, [, and ( in the VS Code extension's language-configuration.json. To get the old behavior, open that file in the installed extension and drop notIn from those three pairs:

{ "open": "{", "close": "}" },
{ "open": "[", "close": "]" },
{ "open": "(", "close": ")" },

Find it with Command Palette, Extensions: Open Extensions Folder, then rust-lang.rust-analyzer-*/language-configuration.json. Reload the window after saving.

This is overwritten the next time rust-analyzer updates. There is no official toggle.
