In Krusader, I want to use Alt-D as a shortcut to focus the location bar. This works fine for browsers and Dolphin. When I set the shortcut for "Go To Location Bar" to "Alt-D", setting the shortcut has no errors. When I try to use the shortcut, I get an error popup saying that the key sequence 'Alt+D' is ambiguous.
Note that I have to hit 'Alt+D' twice to get the error. This makes me think that I'm colliding with the 'Alt+D' consumed by Plasma.
What can I do to get Krusader to do what Dolphin, Firefox, and Chromium do?
It is not possible by now. This is known bug of Krusader. In Ubuntu 20.04 the same problem is reproducing.
In Krusader keys combination Alt + letter or digit is used to navigate through UI (menu items, buttons, tabs, navigation path items). So Alt + D is pointing to something in it.
There are many bug reports with the similar problem on Krusader bugtracker. May be one day this will be fixed. Links to the bugs:
Ambiguous shortcut (Alt + R)
cant use shortcuts (Alt+E) which conflict mnemonics
Alt+letter keyboard shortcuts conflict with accelerators
alt+letter shortcuts are overriden by main menu shortcuts
Alt-shortcuts dont work with secondary layout

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 faced a very strange problem: in someday(I don't really know when) the shortcut
Ctrl+Alt+B stoped working. This shortcut is just Go To Implementation(s). I still can do it by Ctrl+Alt+Mouse1.
I opened settings, to check how is this shortcut configured - all looks fine for me. So I tried to remove Ctrl+Alt+B and add the same combination again.
In Enter Keyboard Shortcut window I have to press key's so the IDEA would be able to set this shortcut. But I cannot record these combination, I still can record Ctrl+B, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B, Alt+B, but not the right combination.
I looked at idea log file, but there was nothing criminal.
I wonder if some other application catches this combination, but I doesn't know how to find this application.
PS. I run my Idea on win7
By the way you're describing it, I strongly believe that the problem is not related to the IDE itself but probably some other program listening for that same key combo in a global level.
Its common to lose some keybinding after installing new applications or drivers. For example, I've lost some key bindings in my IDE after installing drivers for Intel Integrated Graphics. The driver was "stealing" hotkeys like Ctrl + Alt + < arrow > used to rotate the screen.
Double check for newly installed or updated programs/drivers, and make sure that they don't have any shortcut that may be conflicting with your IDE.
Also, you might use Hotkey Commander to verify which program is handling your Ctrl+Alt+B.
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.
I like to use my mouse as little as possible for health reasons. Almost all the common tasks in IntelliJ I can do via keyboard shortcuts, except for displaying the message of an error. How can I have a keyboard shortcut that will show the tooltip of the highlighted error?
For example, I have an error such as:
Then I hit [magic-keyboard-command] and I get:
In Eclipse this is possible by pressing F2. Is there an equivalent in IntelliJ?
The standard Error Description shortcut for JetBrains tools is Ctrl+F1 (Cmd+F1 on Mac).
I use F2 on the mac, it cycles round all the errors in a single file and displays the error information for each.
In addition, to find all project errors what I do is this:
cmd+2 - go to error list (this might be different for diff languages)
press enter key
make change to fix bug
back to step 1 (sometimes escape key will help also)
I found a lot of tutorials and forum questions around remapping key bindings in Textmate and for the most part I know what needs to be done as far as copy the KeyBindings file and then make the changes needed. More on what I am talking about here http://blog.macromates.com/2005/key-bindings-for-switchers/
I am interested in re-mapping the esc key for nextComplete to control + spacebar. The problem is I am having a hard time finding what the code is for the spacebar or if this is even supported.
I mainly do actionscript development in eclipes and code hinting dialogue is triggered by this key combo and I would like to have the same in Textmate. Hitting the esc key kind of sux. I thought I would get used to it but the fact is that it just kills the flow of typing the rest of your code.
I could use some help figuring out what he code is for the space bar. I know control key is the ^ symbol. I tested this by changing the keybinding to ^s and it remapped just fine.
I think this one can be done with the OS X gui:
System Preferences, Keyboard, Click Keyboard Shortcuts Tab
Click the little Plus, and choose Application: Textmate.app, Menu Title: Next Completion, Type Command Space (or Control Space) and click Add and that should work. You might want to remove conflicting shortcuts - possibly spotlight?
For future reference, I used Key Codes to find the key for space is: \UF20
