Using VisualStudio 2008, have emacs keyboard mapping scheme enabled.

If I select text and try to paste over it, it INSERTS the new text, rather than replacing it.

Also, if I select text and hit DELETE it deletes the first character AFTER the selected text (just as if I didn't have any text selected).

Does anyone know how to fix this so that I get the standard windows behavior. That is:

  1. If I select text and try to paste over it, it replaces the selected text with what I pasted in.

  2. If I select text and hit the DELETE key, it actually deletes the text I have selected

Thanks!
