Formatter Plus

[Madvig, Daniel B]

A colleague is quoting that old pain reliever advert, "But Mother, I'd
rather do it myself!" She'd like to turn off Formatter Plus. How does
one do that?

There's a couple options, most used to be found in the editor options.  In 9.6.1 all the options are combined and, apparently, shuffled.  And I've definitely got some boning-up to do before I can give advice from 9.6.1.  I note you didn't mention what version she was on.
 
Right-click on an editor and near the bottom is "Editing Options" or something very similar.
 
There should be some options available (from memory) such as:
auto-indent
auto-case
 
I imagine it's auto-case she'd like disabled.  The "default formatting" never really did much more.  To really benefit from formatting, one needs to apply the formatter rules and the only way I know of to do that is to right-click, select "Formatting Tools" and select "Format Code".  In other words: manually.
 
Wish I could help more but my piloting of 9.6.1.1 has appeared to have wiped my knowledge of the 8.x and I just realised: I have no idea where to find some things that I knew of in 8.x ;)

Where do you want to turn it off?  Toad uses it in about a dozen places.

Here's one location in 9.6.1.1

Options -> Editor -> Open/Save -> File loading/saving section -> Format files when opened - De-select
