How to disable automatic insertion of pairs

[BonfireAtNight]

I feel a bit embarrassed to ask this here, but I don't really understand how to disable the auto-pairing. I'm aware that there is a section on this in the Documentation, but I cannot quite figure out what it says exactly. I've tried things like '"' = false or '"' = '', but these won't work.

Are true and false really intended as the keys (as is written there)? And why are there no default values mentioned?

The docs are trying to say that you could configure:

# ~/.config/helix/config.toml
[editor]
auto-pairs = false # completely disable auto-pairs
# or
auto-pairs = true # enable default auto-pairs

or you can use a table to configure which pairs should close each other:

[editor.auto-pairs]
"(" = ")" # use ) to close (
"[" = "]"
# other pairs here ...

I added a PR that I think clears up the usage: #2384
