I'm using the PlatformIO package, and I want to override the shortcut that allows me to focus in and out of the embedded terminal. The default shortcut is ctrl + alt + f. I want to change it to esc.
I tried this in my keymap.cson:
'atom-text-editor':
'esc': 'Platformio Ide Terminal: Focus'
I also tried with "escape" instead of "esc", but neither was able to override the default shortcut.
How do I accomplish this?
The correct key for Esc is esc, but more importantly, you need to use the correct command to focus. The following works, given that the terminal is visible.
'atom-text-editor':
'escape': 'platformio-ide-terminal:focus'
To toggle and focus the terminal in one keystroke, you need to use "composed" commands. In that case, you can put something like the following into your init.coffee:
atom.commands.add "atom-workspace", "my-custom-toggle": ->
activeEditor = atom.views.getView atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor()
pioTerminal = document.querySelector(".platformio-ide-terminal.terminal-view")
parentNode = pioTerminal.parentNode if pioTerminal
if !parentNode or parentNode.style.display is "none"
atom.commands.dispatch(activeEditor, "platformio-ide-terminal:toggle")
atom.commands.dispatch(activeEditor, "platformio-ide-terminal:focus")
And then you use that command in your keymap.cson:
'atom-text-editor':
'escape': 'my-custom-toggle'
I would like this vim mapping to work in ideavim.
inoremap <S-Space> <Esc>
It maps Shift Space with Esc in insert mode.
Any ideas what to put in my .ideavimrc?
You can put exactly this line into your ~/.ideavimrc and it will result in the expected mapping.
You can try it interactively as well by typing :inoremap <S-Space> <Esc>.
Edit: It's currently not possible. Vote for VIM-1026 at IdeaVim's bug tracker to get updates.
I'm attempting to modify my keybindings in Atom.
So far I've been successful in adding a custom new keybindings via the keymap.cson file. However, I've encountered a problem when attempting to override a default one.
I'm trying to replace the default Ctrl + Shift + S, which is bound to Save as by default, to perform the Save all command instead. Of course, merely adding didn't work, so after a while I figured out I should unset! the key combination first. Now it looked way more promissing in the Key Binding Resolver.
This keymap produced following output in the Key Binding Resolver:
'body':
'unset!': 'core:save-as'
'ctrl-shift-S': 'core:save-all' # Key Binding Resolver claims this works fine
# but it doesn't do anything
'ctrl-shift-E': 'editor-stats:toggle' # works fine
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-shift-A': 'bracket-matcher:select-inside-brackets' # works fine
Despite that, however, the key binding Ctrl + Shift + S doesn't save anything at all. Accessing the command from the context menu works fine. I've searched the web, the core:save-all command seems to exist, it even has a default keybinding on Mac.
I am using the latest version of Atom on Windows 10, made sure no package conflicts with the keybind.
I'm really confused about this.
You can find commands by using the command palette.
Mac: CmdShiftP
Windows/Linux: CtrlShiftP
Looking for "save all" there, the only match for me is
Window: Save All
Ignore whatever key binding it may show next to it. What is important is the command name, "Window: Save All". You can convert that to a command selector with these steps:
Lowercase everything
Remove the space after :
Replace other spaces with -
This yields your selector: window:save-all.
So your key binding should be:
'ctrl-shift-s': 'window:save-all'
As the command's name suggests, this will save all tabs in all panes in the current window. It should not affect anything in other Atom windows.
I use the IntelliJ IDEA's Embedded Local Terminal quite a lot, but there is one thing that is driving me nuts : special and accented characters do not work.
This is what should but is not working :
HOME key to go to the beginning of the line : does nothing
END key to go to the end of the line : does nothing
[CTRL + left arrow] to go to previous word : prints D
[CTRL + right arrow] to go to next word : prints C
all accented characters : prints nothing at first, then ? when I hit another key
There are probably other combinations that should but do not work ... but these are the most annoying ones.
I'm using :
Ubuntu 16.04 virtual box guest running on a Windows 10 host
IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.4
zsh
oh-my-zsh
Important notes :
in a GNU Terminal (outside of IntelliJ then) everything works perfectly, so I don't think that the "running inside a VM" thing is the source of the problem.
if I run bash instead of zsh the special characters are working (home, end, next work, etc...) but I still don't have propre support of accented characters (prints �), and I'd really prefer using zsh.
showkey --scancodes prints Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
if I start od -c I get ^[[H for the HOME key and ^[[F for the END key
showkey --ascii works and prints ^[[H too for the HOME key
What I did already :
checked that the TERM variable is not overridden in .zshrc
add bindkey "${terminfo[khome]}" beginning-of-line and end of line equivalent in .zshrc
add lines (that seemd appropriate) in .inputrc for readline (OK I see now that this was useless as Zsh does not use readline)
edit : I could make the home/end keys work (see accepted answer below), but not the CTRL+LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT key (for forward-word and backward-word). After some more digging this seems to be an issue with IntelliJ not 100% properly emulating the terminal. 4
There is an issue here, with interesting input from an oh-my-zsh contributor : https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-118848#comment=27-1292473
They consider ditching smkx (which appears to be the root of the problem) from oh-my-zsh soon. I've checked out this PR and now my keys work fine (still need the bindings, but CTRL+LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT are ok now)
edit: accented/special characters are now properly supported in IntelliJ (yeehaa !), be sure to have at least the following version : IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.1, Build #IC-163.9166.29, built on December 9, 2016
I can appreciate that zsh works fine outside IntelliJ.
Step 1
Find the correct key codes being used by the terminal inside Intellij. This will depend on the OS you are using. For OSX and Linux od -c followed by pressing the keys will result in the key code being emitted.
Step 2
Once you have the keycodes, modify your ~/.zshrc :
bindkey "$HOME_KEY_CODE_FROM_STEP_1" beginning-of-line
bindkey "$END_KEY_CODE_FROM_STEP_1" end-of-line
for example (as was the case for the OP):
bindkey "^[[H" beginning-of-line
bindkey "^[[F" end-of-line
and restart the terminal.
How do you auto-indent your code in the Atom editor? In other editors you can usually select some code and auto-indent it.
Is there a keyboard shortcut as well?
I found the option in the menu, under Edit > Lines > Auto Indent. It doesn't seem to have a default keymap bound.
You could try to add a key mapping (Atom > Open Your Keymap [on Windows: File > Settings > Keybindings > "your keymap file"]) like this one:
'atom-text-editor':
'cmd-alt-l': 'editor:auto-indent'
It worked for me :)
For Windows:
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-l': 'editor:auto-indent'
The accepted answer works, but you have to do a "Select All" first -- every time -- and I'm way too lazy for that.
And it turns out, it's not super trivial -- I figured I'd post this here in an attempt to save like-minded individuals the 30 minutes it takes to track all this down. -- Also note: this approach restores the original selection when it's done (and it happens so fast, you don't even notice the selection was ever changed).
1.) First, add a custom command to your init script (File->Open Your Init Script, then paste this at the bottom):
atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor', 'custom:reformat', ->
editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor();
oldRanges = editor.getSelectedBufferRanges();
editor.selectAll();
atom.commands.dispatch(atom.views.getView(editor), 'editor:auto-indent')
editor.setSelectedBufferRanges(oldRanges);
2.) Bind "custom:reformat" to a key (File->Open Your Keymap, then paste this at the bottom):
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-d': 'custom:reformat'
3.) Restart Atom (the init.coffee script only runs when atom is first launched).
Package auto-indent exists to apply auto-indent to entire file with this shortcuts :
ctrl+shift+i
or
cmd+shift+i
Package url : https://atom.io/packages/auto-indent
I prefer using atom-beautify, CTRL+ALT+B (in linux, may be in windows also) handles better al kind of formats and it is also customizable per file format.
more details here: https://atom.io/packages/atom-beautify
You can just quickly open up the command palette and do it there
Cmd + Shift + p and search for Editor: Auto Indent:
This works for me:
'atom-workspace atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-a': 'editor:auto-indent'
You have to select all with ctrl-a first.
This is the best help that I found:
https://atom.io/packages/atom-beautify
This package can be installed in Atom and then CTRL+ALT+B solve the problem.
On Linux
(tested in Ununtu KDE)
There is the option in the menu, under Edit > Lines > Auto Indent or press Cmd + Shift + p, search for Editor: Auto Indent by entering just "ai"
Note: In KDE ctrl-alt-l is already globally set for "lock screen" so better use ctrl-alt-i instead.
You can add a key mapping in Atom:
Cmd + Shift + p, search for "Settings View: Show Keybindings"
click on "your keymap file"
Add a section there like this one:
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-i': 'editor:auto-indent'
If the indention is not working, it can be a reason, that the file-ending is not recognized by Atom. Add the support for your language then, for example for "Lua" install the package "language-lua".
If a File is not recognized for your language:
open the ~/.atom/config.cson file (by CTRL+SHIFT+p: type ``open config'')
add/edit a customFileTypes section under core for example like the following:
core:
customFileTypes:
"source.lua": [
"conf"
]
"text.html.php": [
"thtml"
]
(You find the languages scope names ("source.lua", "text.html.php"...) in the language package settings see here)
If you have troubles with hotkeys, try to open Key Binding Resolver Window with Cmd + .. It will show you keys you're pressing in the realtime.
For example, Cmd + Shift + ' is actually Cmd + "
You could also try to add a key mapping witch auto select all the code in file and indent it:
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-l': 'auto-indent:apply'
I was working on some groovy code, which doesn't auto-format on save. What I did was right-click on the code pane, then chose ESLint Fix. That fixed my indents.
If you are used to the Eclipse IDE or the Netbeans, you can use the package eclipse-keybindings (https://atom.io/packages/eclipse-keybindings):
This Atom package provides Eclipse IDE key mappings for Atom. Currently, the Eclipse shortcuts are directly mapped to existing Atom commands.
To format all lines from a file, just use: Ctrl+Shift+F.
Ctrl+Shift+i worked for me in PHP under Windows ... but some files did not react. Not being the brightest it took me a while to work out that it was the include files that were the problem. If you are using echo(' ... PHP ...') then the PHP does not get re-formatted. To get over this, create a temporary PHP file, say t.php, copy the PHP part into that, reindent it (Ctrl+Shift+i ... did I mention that?) and then copy the newly reformatted PHP back into the original file. Whilst this is a pain, it does give you correctly formatted PHP.
