How to make Backspace button remove a previous character only?


Is it possible to modify the default functionality of the Backspace button in Android Studio?

I would like the Backspace key to always remove only one character (as it was in Eclipse). Currently, clicking the Backspace sometimes reverts me to the previous line, not removes the one previous character.


Solution

  • If I understood your question correctly here is what you have to do! Open setting and search for "Smart keys" in the search bar, then replace backspace functionality like in the picture.
