I'm not sure why I can't find the solution in whole internet, it should common problem.

I use the Eclipse for Java Editor, the version is

Version: 2020-09 (4.17.0)
Build id: 20200910-1200
OS: Win10

When I like replace some string in the editor, I'll select the string that I want to been replace and type new string immediately, in older version Eclipse, the editor will delete the selected string then show the new string at the same place, but it become insert the new string front selected string, how can I change it to old style?

I just tested this in 2020-09. I selected a short region in a file I can edit and then typed a character. The selected region disappeared and was replaced with the single character. I don't see any preference setting that controls this.

Hi

There are a bewildering number of preferences for Java Editor Content Assist.
