How do I configure backspace behaviour in Visual Studio 2017?

Viewed 848

I'm new to Visual Studio and C# development and one thing annoys me a bit. In IntelliJ/Android Studio pressing backspace in this situation: code editor in VS

code editor in VS

would take me to the previous line (line 30) to exactly same position within the line - where the indented text starts. However, in Visual Studio pressing backspace in this situation will take me one character to the left, and then another one, and I have to keep pressing backspace all the way to the beginning of the line in order to go back to the previous one.

Is there a way to configure that so I only have to press backspace once to start typing in the line above? Thank you and sorry if the question is a bit silly but I've searched settings in VS and web and couldn't find the solution.

The closest option I have found its: ctrl + backspace and then just backspace. Visual Studio 2017
