Does Rider have a setting to automatically apply the Minus Greater Than combo (->) on a C++ pointer by just pressing the Greater Than key (>)?
Recently, a strange occurrence happened when I was accessing a UE5 C++ pointer while using Rider. I pressed the Greater Than key >
accidentally while accessing a pointer variable and instead of showing an error, it automatically replaced the Greater Than symbol >
with the full pointer symbol ->
. Unfortunately, it stopped doing this shortly after, possibly when I restarted the program or maybe after I created a new file (I do not remember what was the cause), but it didn't last long, almost as if it were a fluke.
If this is an option in Rider to set, I do not know where to set this. I liked that I only had to press one key to access the pointer's functions and variables.
