How do I revert the space deletion behavior in IntelliJ IDEA 14?

I've just updated to IntelliJ IDEA 14 from version 13. One difference I've found is that when I hit the backspace key it deletes a full tab stop worth of space characters, rather than deleting a single space at a time. How do I revert the behavior to deleting a single space at a time?

Solution

  • Go to Settings/Editor/General/Smart Keys and uncheck Backspace Smart Indent.
