How to use autocompletion for environments?

First, great plugin, keep up the good work!

I noticed that some environments are not automatically closed:

\begin{itemize}
        \item 
        \item 

Whereas $ and \[ are always immediately preceded by their closing counterparts.

• am I missing something?
• can autocompletion be configured / disabled?

I don't get what you intend to say. If you are trying to submit a bug report, please fill in the issue template you get when selecting 'Bug' as new issue type:

#### What I did (steps to reproduce)


#### Minimal example to reproduce the problem
<!-- Make sure you have read and understood how to create a minimal example: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-asked-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that -->

#### Expected behavior


#### Actual behavior

Use screencast/screenshots where necessary.

I will still try to answer your questions:

• Yes, you are most definitely missing an \end{itemize} there.
• Not disabled I think, but you can 'add' things to the autocomplete via the use of live templates: https://github.com/Hannah-Sten/TeXiFy-IDEA/wiki/Live-templates

Texify does not automatically close environments. If I type \begin{itemize} and press enter I would expect to see

\begin{itemize}
   \item
\end{itemize}

but what I see is

\begin{itemize}
   \item

so I have to type \end{itemize} myself at some point.

Can you reproduce this?

This is in contrast to typing $ where Texify immediately closes the environment and adds two dollars: $$.

Question: is it intended that environments that start with \begin are not closed by Texify?

Ah, yes that is intended behaviour. If you want TeXiFy to autocomplete the \end, you need to use the autocomplete, so you would type \beg, press enter, type itemi, press enter (the number of letters needed to type may be less depending on the autocomplete options, which depends on your document as well as how many times you autocomplete an itemize).
Example at the bottom here: https://github.com/Hannah-Sten/TeXiFy-IDEA/wiki/Autocomplete#autocompletion-of-required-parameters

Itemize specific thing: you should then be able to press enter to have TeXiFy automatically insert the next \item. Use shift+Enter (or ctrl+Enter if the cursor is not at line end) to put newlines without inserting an \item.
