Visual Studio Code disable auto-quote

How do I disable the auto-quotes feature?

When I hit the ' or " key, I do not EVER want it to automatically insert another one anywhere. No matter how smart they make it, it just comes across to me as "unpredictable" and distracts me from what I'm trying to do.

I type over 100 wpm, I really don't need help hitting the ' or " key.

I have tried the following settings, but none of them have disabled this undesired behavior:

{
    "editor.autoClosingBrackets": false,
    "editor.wordWrap": "off",
    "html.autoClosingTags": false,
    "editor.formatOnType": false,
    "editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false,
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off",
}

  1. Open Settings (File -> Preferences -> Settings) Ctrl+Comma
  2. Search for "editor close"
  3. You should find "Auto Closing Brackets" and "Auto Closing Quotes".
  4. Change them to "never ever"!

In addition to the accepted answer, I also had to disable "HTML: Auto Create Quotes" in preferences (search for "Quote")

Edit: from vscode 1.27.0 

"editor.autoClosingQuotes": "never",
"editor.autoSurround": "never",// When the word is selected

I guess you can "type" them instead like this (keybindings.json):

{
    "key": "'",
    "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
    "args": {
        "snippet": "'"
    },
    "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
},
