I started using Intellij for learning Java. I love the vim shortcuts. So started using the IdeaVim plugin for Intellij but when I press backspace in the end of the line. The cursor just goes one Line Up instead of removing the indentation of the line.

I am using IdeaVim in Intellij as I can't really get over modular editing. But there are times when I just want it completely disabled (like when a coworker shows me something on my computer).
I know it can be disabled through the plugin manager by unchecking the enabled box, but this does not really cut it for me in many cases as it is too slow and disruptive for quick.
What would be nice to have is to make some keyboard shortcut to disable and enable the plugin so that I can easily switch between the modes. Is there a way to do this so that I don't have to restart Intellij for the changes to apply?
(Keeping vim in insert mode would not work in my case as it jumps to command mode at times for no reason)
Vim emulation can be disabled via Tools | Vim Emulator. There is already assigned shortcut, but it conflicts with some of IDE shortcuts and will be removed in the next release. You can assign your own shortcut using regular IDE mapping.
Got several Terminal tabs in IDE. If i right-click any of them i see that i can switch between tabs using Alt+Right and Alt+Left:
However, these combinations don't seem to work. Using IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3 Community Edition
P.S. Switching between editor tabs works fine with the same combinations.
It's a known bug in 2018.3 release, it will be fixed in 2018.3.1 update.
As a workaround you can disable the option to override IDE shortcuts.
Ctrl-E in IntelliJ opens Recent Files Dialog.
Ctrl-E in IdeaVim (and in vim) scrolls window downwards.
How to make Ctl-E to open Recent Files Dialog when IdeaVim plugin is active?
You can open IntelliJ Setting and select Vim Emulation.
In there, you can choose conflict shortcuts used by IDE or Vim.
i have moved to intellij 14 (using centos 7).
Each time that i open a file using intellij, it opens it when the 'insert' key is pressed.
how do i change it? can it be a problem with the centos? (when opening a new gedit document it appears to be ok)
thank you
The problem was the ideaVim intellij plugin.
after disabling it, the problem was solved and the 'tab' key started working for multiple lines selection.
Intellij 14 weird editor/cursor behaviour
cheers
Disable the ideaVim plugin worked for me. Ctrl+Alt+S opens up Settings/preferences dialog box, uncheck the ideaVim plugin
I have installed IntelliJ 14 on Mac and I am getting an annoying issue with the text editor. It seems to be controlling in a similar way to vim. Every time I open a new file I need to press "i" on the keyboard in order to start inserting text. I would like to change it to a standard text edit mode like you would find in eclipse or any other visual text editor.
Looks like you installed the IdeaVIM plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. You can uninstall it through Settings | Plugins if you don't want to use VIM modal editing inside IntelliJ IDEA.
