Hi, another newbie question here.

Is there a setting for Webstorm to make it replace the element where an autocompetion occures, instead of keep it at the end of the autocompletion's data?

For exemple :

Leads to that, when "enter" is pressed :

I'd prefere "createServer" to be totally replaced by "createClient".

Is it possible?

Hi there,

Use Tab instead of Enter.

I wanted to do the opposite. I wanted to make autocomplete to not replace text next to cursor when I press Tab. And I finally found the solution to this! In keymap search for Choose Lookup Item:

And edit Choose Lookup Item, Choose Lookup Item and Insert Dot and Choose Lookup Item Replace accordingly. I set it like this for myself:

Now I can use either Tab or Enter to choose IntelliSense items and it will not replace text next to cursor.
