customizing "editor.formatOnType" behavior for autoClosingPairs ?

[dfl]

How can I customize formatOnType behavior please?

I want to disable autoclose for the pipe operator, as I find it really annoying. I tried overloading "editor.autoClosingPairs" but that doesn't seem to work. Why is there no language config like there used to be for vscode-ruby?
e.g. https://github.com/rubyide/vscode-ruby/blob/main/packages/vscode-ruby/language-configuration-ruby.json

I'm using :
"[ruby]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "rubocop.vscode-rubocop",
"editor.formatOnType": true,
...
but this isn't a rubocop issue, is it?

thanks in advance for any help
