WebStorm and IntelliJ - Search Everywhere (double press Shift) doesn't work - intellij-idea

Up until an hour ago Search Everywhere (double Shift) stopped working for both WebStorm and IntelliJ. I've tried invalidating the caches and restarting in both, and repairing the IDE but the problem persists.
Sticky keys is disabled. Same for filter keys and toggle keys.
The Shift key is working fine when typing. In other apps it detects whenever I press it.
I've updated both apps to the latest version. Plugins are also updated. I doubt it is plugins as I don't use the same plugins in WebStorm and IntelliJ.
What is causing this?

Theme glitching with newest Version of IntelliJ IDEA

I am using the newest (updated) version of IntelliJ IDEA. I am coding in Javascript (React) and i've been using the One Dark theme for ages now.
But since the last update, everything is glitched.
So first problem:
The IDE is now allways starting in the white theme (which is related to the windows theme)
When i try to change the Theme, either nothing happens, or it just doesnt show any Themes, even tho i installed more than 14 (they are disabled tho).
Second problem:
I can not code in Javascript anymore. There is just no collor at all. No marking for functiond etc.
Third problem:
My IDE is crashing almost everytime, I try to open a new, or existing project.
Why is that, has someone simular issues, and what can i do, to prevent having to reinstall my IDE, as i do not want to set my IDE up again.
Thank you in regards
You will have to reinstall. But you can save the Config file.
So you can keep all your settings.
Here are the Paths for windows
Windows:
Configuration: %APPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3
Plugins: %APPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3\plugins
System: %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3
Logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3\log
Hope this helped.

How to stop Jetbrains Rider opening sidepanel on ALT-9 on macOS

Suddenly JetBrain Rider opens the Repository side panel on ALT+9.
This is very inconvenient as ALT keys are for special characters on macOS. In my case ALT+9 is for } so anytime I want to insert an closing } the repository sidebar opens.
I could not find any suspicious entries in the Keymap preferences.
I'm pretty sure this wasn't the case yesterday but I have made no conscious changes to the system.
Check your Keymap and try to remove/change the key assigned to the tool windows:

Keyboard locks Win10 IntelliJ

Using: Windows 10
IntelliJ version: 15(.0.3)
Problem:
I currently have issues that several keys suddenly are 'locked' or something. Keys a-z, 0-9 and some others. Keycombinations like CTRL+F... etc., DELETE, BACKSPACE keep working. The keys are locked everywhere in Windows. And the combinations can still be used everywhere.
When happens this:
This happens when I work in IntelliJ and it always happend when I double pressed a String for selecting it, but not the first time (random). So maybe this is a key setting in Windows or something.
Temporary solution:
Reboot. :(
I already saw the following post: Weird keyboard locks in IntelliJ IDEA (delete & arrow keys, etc.)
This is an older post and there is assumed that I need to uncheck the Vim Emulator. I don't have this plug-in.
Edit: Current solution
Re-installed IntelliJ.
I've encountered this exact same issue and the the removal of the VIM plugin (didn't have a VIM emulator) fixed it, under intellij 2016.2.4 on windows 10.
Open settings -> Plugins -> search for VIM -> remove

IntelliJ "Executing pre-compile tasks...:"

I am working on a large project using IntelliJ 14.1 latest.
Recently, whenever I stop editing for a minute or so, IntelliJ freezes for several minutes with the message "Executing pre-compile tasks...:" followed by the message "All files are up-to-date".
Any idea what is causing this behavior and what I can do to prevent it?
I faced this problem and it drove me nuts for about 3 days. The existing answers did not solve it. Neither did deleting preferences, caches, re-installing IntelliJ on my machine helped. I even tried to turn my Mac off and on again
Finally, what worked for me was to delete the .idea folder (which is usually located in the root of project)
Of course I feel stupid. Hope this helps someone else because this is one of the top hits for those keywords.
IntelliJ version : IDEA 2019.2.3 (Community Edition) on macOS 10.14.6
Your problem becasue 2 things:
- In source code have pre-compile script.
- IntelliJ IDEA build project automaticaly when IDE is idle.
Solution:
Choose menu File \ Settings... or press combine keys: Ctrl+Alt+S.
Choose Build, Execution, Deployment \ Compiler , uncheck item Make project autimatically (only work while not running / debugging)
or type in search box at top-left corner, search keyword something like the above.

Intellij IDEA 13 - Can't open Project Structure dialog anymore

as already described in title, i'm not able to open the project structure dialog window in intellij anymore.
neither the shortcut (Ctrl+alt+shift+s) nor the menu element under File -> Project Structure nor the little button in the upper right corner do work.
Clarification: Menu element :
This "bug" occured suddenly as I wrote a web (vaadin/maven) project and tried to set up glassfish, where i often had to switch to the project structure dialog.
Since the first occurence i wasn't able to fix it by restarting intellij or switching projects.
This also happened on my laptop running the same intellij and windows version (Ultimate 13.0.1 Build: 133.331 on Windows 7 x64)
i appreciate any help!
This also happened to me, but removing new plugins etc didn't help.
Nor did nuking my project and rebuilding it from scratch.
In the end I deleted all caches, restarted Intellij and at last I could access the project settings again! By the way, I'm using Intellij 11.1 - mainly because I can't get 13 to start up, but that's another story
Your log shows that it is a bug in IntelliJ IDEA - they are trying to create file passing null pathname. Try to delete project files and reopen project from scratch (maybe you've lost some file) - if it won't help then you should create an issue here: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/ - You can even copy-paste text from your question and attach stacktrace
I had the same issue...upon further inspection in the log dump...I noticed the following:
ERROR - llij.ide.plugins.PluginManager - com.intellij.openapi.fileChooser.FileChooserDescriptor.setTitle(Ljava/lang/String;)V
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.intellij.openapi.fileChooser.FileChooserDescriptor.setTitle(Ljava/lang/String;)V
at com.jetbrains.python.sdk.PythonSdkType.getHomeChooserDescriptor(PythonSdkType.java:247)
Disabled the latest Python Plugin and restarted and everything is working normal again.
I remembered I had recently update my python plugin and am not using it presently so I was able to disable it without issue.
Hope this helps someone else.
This also happened to me. The comment above helped. I had just added some plugins. Disabled them and it started working again. Not sure exactly which one because I disabled all 4 -- Bean Validation Support, Bitbucket, Jelastic Cloud Platform Integration, and Quick Notes.
For me it has been resolved by switching off FindBugs plugin and restart IDEA. So Project Structure is available for me now.
One of the plugins might be causing it. To disable a plugin, go here:
You'll know for sure if a plugin is bad if you see this Exclamation picture:
Clicking on it will bring up a pop-up. To disable the plugin, click on this:
For me it got resolved just by restarting the intelliJ IDEA. I'm using intelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2018.1 edition.
