Typing Assistance

Enables CamelHumps for the following actions:

• Extend/Shrink Selection( Ctrl+W/ Ctrl+Shift+W)

• Caret Move Ctrl+Right/ Ctrl+Left

• Caret Move with Selection(Ctrl+Shift+Right/ Ctrl+Shift+Left)

• Select Word at Caret Ctrl+W

• Delete to Word Start/End(Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Delete respectively)

• Double-clicking (if Honor "CamelHumps" word settings when selecting using double click is enabled).

If this checkbox is selected, the words that compose CamelHumped names are taken into account when you use these actions.

JetBrains Rider also provides similar actions that work in a mode opposite to the one selected in the Use CamelHumps setting:

• Move Caret to Previous Word in Different "CamelHumps" mode
• Move Caret to Previous Word with Selection in Different "CamelHumps" mode
• Move Caret to Next Word in Different "CamelHumps" mode
• Move Caret to Next Word with Selection in Different "CamelHumps" mode
• Delete to Word End in Different "CamelHumps" mode
• Delete to Word Start in Different "CamelHumps" mode

For example, If Use CamelHumps is enabled, the action Move Caret to Next Word in Different "CamelHumps" mode moves the caret to the end of word regardless of uppercase characters in this word; if Use CamelHumps is disabled, then the caret moves to the next CamelHump within this word.

These actions have no default keyboard shortcuts, and are not included in the menus but you can invoke them from Go to Action Go to Action Ctrl+Shift+A:

You can bind them with the shortcuts of your choice as described in the section Customize keyboard shortcuts.

This selector lets you configure whether to apply code formatting rules for pasted code. By default, JetBrains Rider only applies indentation settings when you paste code, which is a convenient option if you do not want to follow formatting rules very strictly.

JetBrains Rider can automatically remove remaining whitespaces and utility characters after you remove parts of different code constructs. For example, , after removing a parameter or an argument, [] after removing an attribute, or = after removing an initializer.

This happens when you press Backspace, Delete, or Ctrl+X on a code element selected with structural selection( Ctrl+W) or with structural navigation(Tab), or if the selection is there after rearranging elements(Ctrl+Shift+Alt + Up/Down/Left/Right).

If this option is enabled, JetBrains Rider does not insert indent characters (which could be whitespaces, tabs, or a mix of both, depending on the settings) when you press Enter. However it sets the caret according to the indent calculated for this line. If you type anything in this line, the indent characters will be added; if you press Enter once again, no trailing spaces will be left.
You may want to disable this option if you prefer to indent with tabs, align with spaces.

When this option is enabled, you can press Tab to jump out of brackets (curly braces, square brackets, and parentheses) as well as out of quotes when your caret is right before the closing one.
This comes in handy when your caret is automatically set inside brackets or quotes created with code completion, and you want to continue typing without reaching down to the right arrow key.

The nested option Jump outside of closing quotes/braces in string literals with Tab lets you toggle this behavior inside string literals.

The nested option Jump outside of closing braces when Tab is at indenting lets you toggle this behavior when the code construct that uses brackets, spans several lines and your caret is at the beginning of a new line just before the closing bracket. For example:

This option defines the behavior of the Backspace key when it is pressed on an empty line or when there are only whitespaces and tabs to the left of the caret. The available options are:

• Disabled — returns the caret by one position at a time.

• To nearest indent position — returns the caret to a nearest position that is a multiple of the current indent size.

• To proper indent position (default) — returns the caret to the expected indent position according to the code structure.

If this checkbox is selected, a closing brace is inserted automatically:

• Immediately after you've typed the opening brace (On typing an opening brace)

• After you've typed the opening brace and pressed Enter(On Enter after an opening brace)

If this checkbox is selected, then:

• pressing Ctrl plus up/down arrow keys leads to creating multiple carets.

• pressing Ctrl plus left/right arrow keys or Home/End leads to creating a selection.

For more information, see the Multicursor section.

This checkbox defines the behavior on pressing Enter after the opening documentation comment. This functionality works only for JavaScript and TypeScript. To insert XML documentation comments stubs in C# on ///, make sure that the Insert documentation comment stub on '/' checkbox in the C# section above on this page is selected.

• If this checkbox is selected, JetBrains Rider generates a documentation comment stub.

  For the function comments, this stub contains the required tags (@param tags for each parameter declared in the signature, and @return). Refer to, JSDoc comments for details.

• If this checkbox is not selected, only the closing part of the comment is generated.

In this area, define the actions to be invoked automatically when editing XML or HTML code.

• Insert closing tag on tag completion: select this checkbox to have JetBrains Rider automatically insert a closing XML or HTML tag upon entering the corresponding opening one.

• Insert required attributes on tag completion: select this checkbox to have JetBrains Rider display a template with all mandatory attributes of the typed tag.

• Insert required subtags on tag completion: select this checkbox to have JetBrains Rider display a template with all mandatory subtags.

• Start attribute on tag completion: select this checkbox to have JetBrains Rider display a template with the first mandatory attribute of the typed tag.

• Add quotes for attribute value on typing '=': select this checkbox to have JetBrains Rider automatically add quotes for the value of the attribute that you are currently typing.

• Auto-close tag on typing '</': select this checkbox to automatically add a closing tag after entering </. Clear this checkbox to turn off such auto-completion.

• Simultaneous <tag></tag> editing: When this checkbox is selected and you edit an opening tag the corresponding closing tag is automatically changed accordingly.

  If this checkbox is cleared, editing the opening tag does not affect the closing tag which remains unchanged. As a result, the opening and closing tags do not match and the entire construct is underlined as erroneous.

  The Simultaneous <tag></tag> editing checkbox controls the behaviour of JetBrains Rider in the following contexts:

  • HTML files

  • HTML injections within JavaScript code

  • HTML with Handlebars/Mustache templates

  • Handlebars/Mustache template files with the extension .hbs

  • XML, XHTML files

  • DTD files

  • JSX files

In this area, define the selection of CSS identifiers/classes:

• Select whole CSS identifier on double-click: if this checkbox is selected, double-click a CSS identifier or class name selects the entire name up to the prefix:

  

  If this checkbox is not selected, double-click a CSS identifier or class name selects a portion of a name up to the nearest hyphens:

  

By default, JetBrains Rider automatically inserts backslash escape symbols (\) when you paste text into a JavaScript string. Clear the checkbox to suppress automatic text escaping.

By default, when you copy a piece of HTML code with class attributes or on-event handlers and paste it into JSX, JetBrains Rider automatically replaces these attributes with React-specific ones (className, onClick, onChange, and so on.)

To copy HTML code to JSX "as is", clear the checkbox or use Paste Simple Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V.

You may want to turn this option off, if the DBMS you are working with supports multiline string literals:

Say, there is the following fragment for PostgreSQL text value notes:

and the cursor is in front of the word element.

If the option is on, and you press Enter, the fragment will change to:

Otherwise, the fragment will change to:

When you start a code block with an opening keyword (BEGIN, LOOP, BEGIN TRY, and others) and press Enter, the code block closes with the corresponding closing keywords (END, END LOOP, END TRY, and others).

The selected option defines how the name of an object is inserted in the editor when using the code completion suggestion box.

• Always: the qualified object names are always used, for example <schema_name>.<object_name>.

• On collisions: the qualified object name is used only if the short name is ambiguous, for example when there is the object with the same name in more than one schema.

• Never: the unqualified object names are always used.
