I started using IntelliJ IDEA 14.01 on CentOS 6.2 (on a VirtualBox VM on a Windows 7 machine). While selecting code, the [backspace] key is not deleting the selected text. Instead [backspace] extends the highlighted (selected) area to the left exactly as the [arrow left] does it. How can I change this behavior?
When you press TAB in IntelliJ's Java editor by default you get 4 spaces instead of a single TAB character. You can change this behavior through File>Settings>Code Style>Java>Tabs and Indents.
Every keyboard has a delete/backspace key to delete backward, but if it doesn't have a “delete forward” key ⌦, simply hold the fn (function) key and press the delete key. If preferred, you can also use ⌃ control + D to delete forward.
