Visual Studio IDE where pressing Space causes a character to be deleted

 

If you're experiencing an issue in Visual Studio where pressing Space causes a character to be deleted, this is likely due to a conflict or unintended feature activation in your settings. Below are a few potential causes and solutions to resolve this problem:

1. Check for Overwrite Mode

One of the most common reasons for this issue is that Overwrite Mode might be enabled. In Overwrite Mode, when you type, the new character replaces the existing character instead of being inserted.

To disable Overwrite Mode:

  • Press the Insert (Ins) key on your keyboard. This key toggles between Insert Mode (default) and Overwrite Mode.
  • When in Insert Mode, typing a character will insert it, while in Overwrite Mode, typing will replace the character under the cursor.

If this is the issue, pressing the Insert (Ins) key should resolve it.

Set-ExecutionPolicy

 The Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet change the user preference for the Windows PowerShell execution policy.


Set-ExecutionPolicy [-ExecutionPolicy*] {Unrestricted | RemoteSigned | AllSigned | Restricted | Default | Bypass |Undefined} [[-Scope] {Process | CurrentUser | LocalMachine | UserPolicy | MachinePolicy}] [-Confirm] [-Force][-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]


Examples

Set the shell execution policy:


PS C:\> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned


The command uses the Force parameter to suppress the user prompt.


Set the scope for an execution policy:


PS C:\> Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -Force

PS C:\> Get-ExecutionPolicy -List



Remove the execution policy for the current user:


PS C:\> Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Undefined

Other Issues:

When you run an .ps1 PowerShell script you will get the message saying “.ps1 is not digitally signed. The script will not execute on the system.”


To fix this issue you have to run the following command to run Set-ExecutionPolicy and change the Execution Policy setting.


Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
