How to disable iex cursor from moving to opening delimiter?

On mac at least when in iex when you type a closing delimiter the cursor jumps back to the opening delimiter for a second, then back to where it should be. I’m never doing something so extensively nested in iex that I need this feature, and it’s very distracting. Is there any way to disable it?

This behavior is coming from erlang shell and the only reasonable way is to rewrite iex from scratch, which is time-consuming and, as far as I know, is not very high in language developer’s priority list
