[Lazarus] Where can I switch OFF automatic copy in code editor?

[Pascal Riekenberg]

Apart from your problem you describe here, do you know of Shift+Ctrl+D? You can select 
the source lines press Shift+Ctrl+D and select one of the conditional defines or create a new one.
Then you get the {$IFDEF  ...} at the beging of the selected text and {$ENDIF} at the end of the selected text.
