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.

Rider doesn't have this feature. But it also could be a bug related to auto-replacement of . and -> when necessary.
