How to stop the end of a line in WebStorm

Question

I am trying a WebStorm editor (currently using vim).

And I noticed that I can’t say where the line ends, because you can literally move the cursor outside the line in the code editor.

I find it very frustrating. I use to be able to know for sure where the end of the line was in vi.

Is there a way to make the cursor go to the next line when I get to the end of the line and move to the right?

Answer 1

Webstorm 11

By default, carriage is not allowed after the end of a line.

If this box has already been checked, it can be disabled in two ways:

• File> Settings ...> Editor> General > uncheck " Allow carriage after end of line " (in the "Virtual space" section)

  

• Press Ctrl + Shift + A or go to Help> Find Action ... :

  

  Enter "Allow Nesting", select the line "Virtual Space: Allow Nesting Numbers after ..." and press the switch button to turn OFF instead. If you cannot see the entire description, you can hover over the line.

  

Answer 2

Since WebStorm is based on the IntelliJ IDEA platform, this answer is also applicable to WebStorm .

File | Settings (or Preferences on Mac) | Editor | Allow carriage after end of line .
