Markdown plugin in pycharm puts bullet points automatically

I am typing along in a bulletted section of a markdown file in pycharm editor and a line is getting long. I hit return and pycharm is "helpfully" adding a bullet automatically:

  • analytics services needs to first provide capability of more frequent and timely reporting to convince
  • suppliers to provide more timely updates [Note the star/asterisk was inserted by pycharm ..]

I do not want that behavior, the newline is supposed to be part of the former bullet and not a new one. Is there any setting to turn off that "helpfulness" ? Actually I'm not sure where any markdown plugin settings live.

Solution

  • Found it!

    Languages and Frameworks | Markdown | Automatic assistance in the editor [checkbox]

    enter image description here

    After unchecking that box i get this:

    * analytics services needs to first provide capability of more frequent and timely updates to convince 
  suppliers to provide more timely updates

    Which is the desired [un-"assisted"] behavior.
