Why does Resharper intellisense replace my code?

Question

With Resharper 6.1, when I type something like... widget.PropertyA

and then put my cursor in front of the widget symbol like this...

|widget.PropertyA

and start typing another symbol, R# intellisense pops up. If I choose a suggested symbol, then R# replaces the widget symbol with my newly chosen symbol.

I can see how this might be useful at times, but the vast majority of the time, I just want to type more code in front of widget and don't want it to be replaced. Does anyone know if this behavior is configurable?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't believe it is configurable. It seems to be by design that Tab overwrites code. It will even highlight the segment of code that would be replaced.

Instead of hitting Tab to select your symbol, use Enter instead. It will insert the new code without overwriting the existing code.
