Backspace is not deleting selection but extending it to the left (IntelliJ on Linux)

Question

I started using IntelliJ IDEA 14.01 on CentOS 6.2 (on a VirtualBox VM on a Windows 7 machine). While selecting code, the [backspace] key is not deleting the selected text. Instead [backspace] extends the highlighted (selected) area to the left exactly as the [arrow left] does it. How can I change this behavior?

Answer 1

Turn off Vim Emulation in the Tools menu

Answer 2

There are 2 options, either select the specific line and hold your keypad and then press delete button or turn off the VIM emulation in the Tools menu.

Answer 3

You can toggle enabling and disabling of Vim Emulator by just pressing "Ctrl + Altr + V"
