How do I turn off the unlimited whitespace in IntelliJ editor?

Question

How do I remove the ability to move the cursor after then end of line in IntelliJ?

Answer 1

To get the expected behavior where indentations are respected when you click on a line :

In Preferences > Editor > Virtual Space

Check :

Allow placement of caret inside tabs.

Uncheck :

Allow placement of caret after end of line.

This was really annoying to me and makes very little sense as a default behavior to me.
