I want to get one menu action under a shortcut, but I don't know what keyboard shortcuts (key combos) are still available
Is there any way of displaying possible keyboard combos that are not yet taken by something?

I am currently using IDEAVim on intelliJ on a 60% keyboard without arrow keys.
I am looking for a way to expand the menu of "Show Intentions Action"(the menu which you get from hitting + ) to the right without having to use the arrow key.
If i just hit enter, it will select and execute the intention instead of giving me a menu to "Suppress" or "Ignore" the intention
You cannot remap any cursor keys for the menu actions in IntelliJ IDEA.
The only workaround I can see if to use some system application to remap the keys depending on the OS you are using. For example, on Windows one can map some keys combination to produce the arrow key code with AutoHotkey or a macro in the third-party keyboard driver settings.
Anything that will produce the same code as the real right arrow key on your system should work.
Is it possible to use J and K when choosing a suggested auto-completion item? See the image below: I'd like to, maybe hold ALT or SHIFT (or in some other way differentiate between moving and typing), and use J and K to select the proper suggestion.
Is anything similar also available for moving around the menus (in Project view etc.)?
I was able to make this work by creating a shortcut ALT+J mapped to the Down key and ALT+K to the Up key.
You can move up and down in the popup without needing to move your hand away from HJKL to the arrow keys.
This also works in the Find in path window, though it does not work in the navigation menu.
Update: For Alt + K to work in the Find window since the version 2020+, one has to disable mnemonics in Settings, under Appearance & Behaviour -> Appearance -> Disable mnemonics in controls.
#Rok Povsic's solution is great and I used it a bit, but in some pop up menus like Intention actions, refactoring menu or usages the trick won't work.
So I used this Power Toys program from Microsoft to remap the Alt+J, Alt+K, Alt+H, Alt+L to arrow keys at windows level and now this works great everywhere around the IDE.
You can even specify only the app in which you want to override this shortcuts. For example for rider it will be "rider64.exe". You can find the name of the app you want to use in task manager under "Details".
I'm really impressed with the autocomplete feature of the IntelliJ IDE so far.
What I'd like to do, is cycle through the autocomplete suggestions I get when hitting Ctrl + Space without using the arrow keys (↑, ↓).
The reason for this is that I prefer to keep my fingers on the home row (I'm using IntelliJ's Vim emulator additionally).
For example, how would I select sortThis instead of sorted without using the arrow keys or the mouse?
Peter Gromov's answer brought me to a satisfying solution:
In IntelliJ's settings, for Keymap → Editor Actions → Down I set a custom shortcut: Ctrl + J.
This way I can cycle forward through the suggestions.
Setting a shortcut for Down with Selection or Scroll Line Down in the IdeaVim-specific shortcuts did not affect the selection of autocomplete suggestions though.
The answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9713306/2370679 led me to discover that Ctrl+n & Ctrl+p allow navigation of the auto-complete options without having to modify any settings
For macOS the IDE will give a hint that "^↑ and ^↓ will move caret up and down in the editor". These clearly do not work.
There are a few extra steps that are needed after following #matthias-braun's solution.
Here is the full list of step that I use:
Go to Preferences -> Keymap
Expand Editor Actions (not Plug-ins -> IdeaVim)
Select Down
Click the pencil icon or right-click
Select Add Keyboard Shortcut
Press the shortcut (I use ^N)*
Repeat for 3-6 for Up (I use ^P)
Click Ok**
Go to Preferences -> Other Settings -> Vim Emulation
In the drop-down under the Handler column for the row containing Down, select Vim***
Do the same thing for Up
* If you are warned about the key binding already existing then remove it. You can always reset back to the defaults by clicking the little cog icon up the very top to the right of the drop-down menu.
** The Vim Emulation doesn't seem to be populated correctly until you reopen the Preferences.
*** I'm not sure why the Handler should be Vim. This seems backwards to me but it works.
If you're able to scroll up/down in editor with some IdeaVIM-specific shortcuts, they should also work in the completion list.
In this particular case, I'd just type another "t" so that "sortThis" becomes selected (and the only) variant.
I have done the same thing with mapping the arrows but in a more logical way:
I mapped them that when I press 'Alt' 'J' is left, 'L' is right, 'I' is up, and 'k' is down. that way I can have easy access to the arrows while my fingers are on the home row and I don't need to move them nearly as much...
I'm posting it just so people who search it on google can have that idea.
Is there a shortcut key to dismiss the lines that get highlighted yellow and red for warnings and errors, instead of having to click one by one on the symbols in the gutter?
I have tried searching but this particular nugget of wisdom isn't easy to find, if indeed it's out there.
Thanks.
The shortcut you're looking for is Control-Command-M which corresponds to Issues->Show All Issues in Xcode's Key Bindings settings menu. You can change this shortcut to what ever you'd like, and it will toggle wether or not error messages will be visible on screen.
I don't know if you already tried that or if that's what you're searching, but there is the menu "Editor" -> "Issues" -> "Hide all issues" command that maybe can be useful
I want to bind some of IntelliJ IDEA shortcut keys, but at the same time keep the default bindings in place in case anyone wants to use my IDE (e.g. pair programming).
Is there a way to assign multiple shortcuts to one action in IntelliJ IDEA? Or is there a plugin that does this?
It's supported out of the box, just add new keyboard shortcuts to the action, old shortcuts will be kept. Note that you can't add a shortcut that conflicts with some other action.
In Settings -> Keymap, there isn't anything preventing multiple shortcuts from being assigned to the same action. Select "Add Keyboard Shortcut" and assign your shortcut. After it is saved, select "Add Keyboard Shortcut" again with your next shortcut. Both should now work.
This was testing with Intellij IDEA 9.0.
