I've used VSCode for a long time and I'm starting to use some IntelliJ products
Is there a setting that enables IntelliJ products to share Appearance settings?
Is there a setting that enables IntelliJ products to share keyboard shortcuts?
Scenario: I've changed the font size and appearance of RubyMine, and I want this to be reflected automatically in PyCharm. I've also added some keyboard shortcuts to RubyMine that I want to be reflected in GoLand.
I want to know if IntelliJ has an 'easy' way to do this with a setting or plug-in? Am I using the wrong IntelliJ product(s) perhaps?

I want to change the look and feel of entire Webstorm editor. How can I add more themes in the Appearance section?
As of now it lists only 2 option, Default and Darcula.
The 'Theme' dropdown in your snapshot actually refers to Look & Feel in the Intellij/Webstorm parlance. This is also seen if you try doing a View -> Quick Switch Scheme :
Notice that the options in the above correspond to the 'Themes' dropdown in your snapshot.
I would imagine that creating a new Look&Feel would be a non-trivial task. This is somewhat substantiated by https://stackoverflow.com/a/27864988/325742:
Write a plug-in to add a new LAF. Keep in mind this is a lot of work.
It took the JetBrains team a year to develop the Darcula L&F and that
was with dedicated graphic artists to create a whole suite of icons
and recommend color combinations. Since the IntelliJ IDEA Community
Edition is open source, you could use that source code to develop your
plug-in. I'm pretty sure Darcula is available in the community
edition.
Therefore, you may not find a lot of stuff out there that change the whole Look and Feel of a Jetbrains product (like IntelliJ or WebStorm).
However, the best place to look for it would be in the plugins section.
Therefore:
First option: Theme Plugins
Note that, the complete appearance of Intellij changed when I installed this, however the plugins (I tried Material Theme UI) did not appear in the dropdown list.
Second Option : https://github.com/sdvoynikov/color-themes
This is just an editor color scheme and not a full fledged L&F plugin.
Download a color theme from there, then go to File -> Import Settings and choose the downloaded file after which you should see the following:
Finally, restart Webstorm:
In WebStorm I can type something like
document.gEBI
press tab key, and it'll autocomplete to
document.getElementById()
But when I do the similar thing in IntelliJ
fmt.Prl
Auto completion doesn't work (the desired result fmt.Println()) at all, it works only if all the letters match strictly in order.
Is it possible to enable this functionality in IntelliJ? I've imported all the settings from WebStorm.
These Tab key shortcuts aren't part of the auto-complete system the Jetbrains use for all their IDEs as LazyOne says, they are actually part of the template-invocation system.
The auto-complete functionality is built into the shortcut: Ctrl+Space.
I suggest looking up the template invocation for .Println() in the settings, Jetbrains documentation, or raising a ticket with Jetbrains on YouTrack for clearer documenation/control over template-invocation.
Intellij provides "Switcher" which not only switches between recent files but also tool windows.
Some tool windows are not being assigned to a shortcut which forces you to open it every time going trough Switcher dialog instead of just doing a simple shortcut.
For example here gradle does not have a shortcut
Although it is shown as tool window under number 5
How do we manage these shortcuts?
Go to Settings -> Keymap -> Other and find Gradle, assign shortcut as you wish (i.e. Alt + 2). It will work. Note that a hint on button (in this example 2:Gradle) will appear after restarting.
Is there a way to completely turn off all intentions light bulbs in Intellij 2016.1, so that none ever appear? In older versions, you could apparently edit options/editor.xml, but no such file exists in 2016.1.
I just answered that in hide Intellij Idea yellow light bulb
TL;DR:
Preferences > Appearance > Show intention bulb
Update:
In GoLand 2020.1 (and possibly all InteliJ 2020.1 products) this setting can be found here:
Editor > General > Appearance > Show intention bulb
If that doesn't work for you, type "bulb" in the search field in the Settings. I hope that helps.
Maybe this could help you

To configure intention settings using the Settings dialog
By default, all available intention actions that ship with IntelliJ IDEA, are enabled. By changing the Intention Settings, you can disable the actions that are not required for your current working environment.
Open the Settings / Preferences Dialog by choosing File | Settings for Windows and Linux or IntelliJ IDEA | Preferences for OS X, and click Intentions under Editor.
In the Intentions page, clear the check boxes of the intention actions or action categories that you do not currently need.
Selecting or clearing a category affects all intention actions in this category.
Apply changes and close the dialog.
Which keybindings should I configure in IntelliJ Cursive to get the "expand" and "shrink" selection behaviour documented in the ParEdit user guide?
The user guide mentions Alt+Up and Alt+Down, but as someone new to structural editing, I'm struggling to find the right keybinding.
It depends which platform you're on. Generally you don't have to configure these actions since they're built in to IntelliJ, they're not Cursive specific. Alt-Up and Alt-Down are for the Mac OSX 10.5+ keymap, recommended if you're on a Mac. In the Default keymap, which is what you'll get if you're on Windows or Linux it's Ctrl-W and Shift-Ctrl-W.
These actions are called "Extend/Shrink Selection" on v14, and on earlier versions (probably for historical reasons) they're "Select/Unselect Word at Caret". They can be found by searching in the Keymaps panel.
If you do want to change any keybindings, make sure you do them in the top-level Prefs -> Keymap settings, NOT in the Prefs -> Keymap -> Clojure Keybindings window. Those are not meant to be edited. On a Mac for example, the default cursive keybinding for Wrap [] clobbered the basic backward navigation keybinding.
This issue cleared up the confusion for me.
