Ah got it. I will get some eyes on this.
Can you try the Edit code command in the mean time? For Windows I believe it is alt+k
Try this:
this one works fine
I see the same behavior using v5.5.9 of the Jetbrains plugin. I highlight code that I want to replace but it is not overwritten when I click “Insert at cursor.” The plugin does exactly what it says and inserts the code, leaving the original code intact.

@mdhender v5.5.10 is now available. Can you try it now?
I upgraded to 5.5.10, restarted the JB IDE. Highlight code, click the Insert at Cursor and the new code from the chat is inserted above what I highlighted. It’s not replacing it. It still leaves the selection highlighted.

Got it, thanks for the heads up. Going to send to our JetBrains team now.
Their response:
“This is expected behavior, but it’s useful feedback that users expect “insert at cursor” to replace code that’s highlighted (not just insert the new code).”
