In reply to Günter Born.

So, tell us: how do we turn off the ridiculous text patterns feature in the editor? Many of us simply don't want it. I use keyboard shortcuts in the editor--they already exist, and anyone who writes seriously in other editors, and in word processors, already uses the same common keyboard shortcuts as they have for almost 20 years now. I do not need some editor deciding what I wanted to type. I am holding off upgrading other sites to 4.3 until WP decides to resolve this. Anyone?
