How can I disable smart brackets and quotes in Jupyter Notebook? The advice [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44216326/how-to-disable-auto-quotes-and-auto-brackets-in-jupyter-5-0) is to create a file `~/.jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json` with the content

```julia
{
    "CodeCell": {
        "cm_config": {
            "autoCloseBrackets": false
            "autoCloseQuotes": false
        }
    }
}

```

This is for Jupyter Notebook 5.0. However, I’m using version 6.3, and it doesn’t work for me.
