Position cursor at end of line

Answered

How do I get IntelliJ to position the cursor at the end of a line when I click or move the cursor with the arrow keys?  By default it places it where I click, or directly above/below where it last was in the case of arrow key usage.  This is pretty annoying because it means I can't just start typing.

Just deactivate that really annoying feature: "File -> Settings -> IDE Settings -> Editor -> Allow placement of caret after end of line"

Could also be "Column Selection Mode" thats what it was for me. Right click where your typing your code and unselect it.
