So I new to coding in VB and I am using VS Express in order to create a photography payment application for a client. Problem is I pressed something and now my text cursor has changed so that whenever I type it deleted the next letter.
Attached is a picture of what it looks like, I just want top revert it back to it's original text cursor.
The Cursor.
Thank's in advance!
I think you hit the "Insert" key. Hit it again and it should stop.

Hi I got this problem in visual studio 2022 C# and this white box just appeared and I do not know how to get rid of it and I can barely write in my code because this box causes me to delete or exchange letters and not add.enter image description here
Press the Insert key on your keyboard to toggle this. it will either be labeled ins or insert depending on the keyboard.
In the Neo4j web interface, what is the function of the button with "+" on it?
It does basically just clear the query buffer, but the main way I use it is to distinguish editing a saved query from typing a new one. If you type a query you can save it by clicking the "star" button. That button is now highlighted, indicating that you are viewing a saved query. If you change the query, the star button (still highlighted) will turn into an exclamation mark, indicating that if you click it now you will save the changes you've made to the query. This is true also when deleting all the characters in the buffer. If you start typing again, the exclamation mark returns, indicating that you are still editing the same saved query. If you want create a new query, that has nothing to do with the saved query, the plus button let's you do that.
I use this mainly when I store several similar versions of a query: create the first version, save it, copy query, click plus, paste, edit, save second version, rinse, repeat.
It just cleans up the input line. Instead you could just mark everything (Ctrl+A) and remove (Ctrl+X).
I have a long line that I want to select a section in the middle. In Visual Studio, it would scroll all the way to the end of the line, passing where I want the selection to end, when I move pass the text area and move all the way back when I try to move back a little. Is there a way to slow down the Visual Studio scrolling adjustment?
If you are talking about selecting text using the mouse you can get fine grained control by combining the the mouse and keyboard. This should work in any application that allows text selection, not just Visual Studio.
First click the location where you want to begin selecting text.
Next scroll to the location where you want to end selecting text and hold down Shift on the keyboard while clicking with the mouse. The block of text between the first click and the shift+click will be selected without having to worry about the selection jumping around due to scrolling.
As for actually slowing down the scrolling; I know of no way to do that. Hopefully my tip should give you an alternate way to do what you actually want.
So, very often do I wonder what a function does and open up a browser and head to MSDN to check more comprehensive description. Is there a keyboard shortcut I could use to open up the MSDN page of the selected function in the Intellisense dropdown automatically?
I usually just press Enter to insert it into the source code, then press F1 which takes you to the help of the identifier under the cursor. I'm not sure if there's one for taking you there straight from the drop-down, but a simple Ctrl+Z removes the inserted identifier later.
You can press F1 when your cursor is on the function. It will show you the MSDN help of the function. You don't even need to highlight it
There is a command in Visual Studio 2005 called Edit.SelectToLastGoBack (bound to Ctrl + =).
I presume it is supposed to select all the text between the current cursor position and the last 'Go Back' point, but I can't work out the algorithm it's using for deciding what that point is.
Does anyone know how to use this potentially very useful command?
Selects to the last juimp point ...
Try using the navigation bar to jump to another method in class. Then press Ctrl + "="
It will select from the start of method you jumped to all the way back to where you jumped from.
I have yet to find a use for it though TBH,

I use it for recording macros.
Frequently I want to select everything from this brace to that brace and cut it in a macro. Go to the first brace, hit ctrl-f (ctrl-i doesn't work right in macros), search to the second brace, close search with escape, and hit ctrl-= to get everything between the braces selected. This is much more reliably repeatable in a macro than something like using ctrl arrows to navigate a word at a time while holding down shift, and is similar to the emacs concept of setting a mark point.
I'm not sure what all starts a new 'location in navigation history', but I'm sure starting a search does and that's all I need.
I just discovered this command is available in Visual Studio 2012. I've been looking for it ever since I got VS 2012. I kept thinking it was something like anchor, like select everything between the anchor and point. I was disappointed that macro recording and playing are no longer available. But I am glad this command still exists.
Another useful command is ctrl+k ctrl+a, which is Edit.SwapAnchor. So, you could be someplace in the code, then do a find. Now you have the point and anchor (maybe also known as the cursor and last goback). You can do ctrl+= to select, then ctrl+k ctrl+a then extend from the other end using another find--or something like that.
