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.
