I have a project opened in IntelliJ and Git is also enabled for the project. What is the issue I am facing is, according to the following image, the red "branch pane" is missing from IDE and the only thing I see is the green area.
And also I see the blue area instead of "Git" it is showing "Version Control". So I need to know how I can get the branch pane back like the attached image.
Your IntelliJ IDEA is too old, it does not have this feature. To show the branches pane you need at least IntelliJ IDEA version 2020.1.
I recently changed my Intellij Idea theme to use a custom theme, then have been tweaking it to fit my personal preferences.
I've fixed most of the deficiencies in usability/readablity but am still running into issues in the popup window that comes up when you click the update button:
What comes up is completely unreadable:
So the question is: Where is the setting for overriding the colors in this window? This is pretty much the last problem I have with my custom theme, and I've combed through the settings trying to determine how to change this to no avail.
Note: If this is the wrong stack exchange site to ask this question, let me know the correct one and I'll move it.
It is known issue: IDEA-227157 that has been fixed for 2020.2.X versions (release is planned in the end of July of 2020).
This is freaking annoying me. I don't know which option do this, but it is really bothering me so much.
The problem is that WebStorm add a "virtual" space after each text like function or object (picture 1). You can see it because clearly in the highlight text (picture 2).
Also, when I am writing on a line, the text is push right to the caret (picture 3)
I want to know which option is it, to disable it.
There is an open issue for this problem:
IDEA-154843 There is a space coming between cursor and the next letter when typing or the cursor is moved.
It definitely helps to select a different font, but reinstalling the latest version of Source Code Pro font may also help.
UPDATE:
It should be already fixed in latest 2017.1 builds.
Thanks the tip from user #yole & user #LazyOne, the problem was the font "Source Code Pro". Changing the font, solve the problem.
As user #CrazyCoder has link this question to an open bug, the next is information for Jetbrains Developers.
SO: MacOS 10.12.1

WebStorm plugins: None.
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA on my Mac to work on a project, and I keep on coming across an issue where I can't type. Occasionally when I switch to another application and then switch back to IntelliJ I can't type anything, and the cursor doesn't appear on text when I click on things. Does anyone know what causes this? After 1-2 minutes it goes back to normal, but it's started happening more frequently and it's pretty frustrating to not be able to type and have no way to fix it.
This is the version of IntelliJ I'm using:
IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.3
Build #IC-145.1617, built on June 3, 2016
JRE: 1.8.0_76-release-b198 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Turn off Vim Emulator from Tools in the IntelliJ, like this picture:
I am encountering this issue aswell, ...
MAC os Mojave 10.14.2, Inteliij Community 2018.3.5
Aside from restarting / clearing caches, I found that cmd + leftShift + F still opens the search window, and all my keystrokes appeared in the searchbox!
After the searchshortcut, I was able to close the searchbox and work again!
The answer here helped me https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206152119-Can-t-type-in-editor-window
Quoting the author of the answer:
I had the same problem. It goes away after I click the icon at top of
the scroll bar. it happens frequently on windows 7/10, and
occasionally on mac. my colleagues said they have experienced it too
Have the same issue occasionally, can't type in any Intellij windows. My temporary/quick fix, is to:
Close any terminal windows in intellij
Use cmd+shift+f to pull up the search window.
Seems to fix it, for a while.
Closed IDEA, all IDEA projects! Even though in other IDEA windows I could type.
Removed .idea folder in the project I could not edit.
Restarted IDEA.
Then I was able to type!
Maybe you entered Vim emulator as said. Maybe only by mistake :).
Control-V is a frequently used shortcut. And Control-Alt_V is the shortcut to enable Vim mode so you can see the problem...
How to know in five seconds: type a ":" (colon) and if the cursor jump to end of the screen, that is vim. If so enter q to quit and then Control-Alt-V (on windows) to go back to IDEA standard mode.
vi is a powerful text editor since ever. But only if you pretend and know how to use it... There is even a warning on the IDEA install saying like "do not install unless you are familiar with Vim" in yellow bold text, iirc.
[Follows historic data, that you may find boring off-topic or interesting]
Today's editors opens the code in edit mode right away so you can start typing over existing code. Vim by the other hand opens the code in, let us say, browsing mode: there is a set of navigation keys to browse the code. Everything you type is supposed to be a command. When you want to edit you enter INSERT mode and then you can type new text. Only then.
Just for more historic data: vi navigation mode is great for studying code you do not know, using IDEA, since it does not change the text unless you tell it to, and some vi commands are clever.
One example:
"/" (forward slash) is one search command, and "z" is a smart scroll command so that:
/setCellFactory will search for the next match of "setCellFactory" and put the cursor there
Then if you type "z" the code will be positioned so that line is the first on screen. And if you type "." the line will be at the middle. And if you type "-" that line will be at the last position at the screen. And you can use these commands again and again. And new slash will go for the next match, like F3
This "z" thing is a feature I miss in Visual Studio, IDEA, Eclipse, Word, WordPad: these commands to scroll text AROUND a pattern... /pattern, z, z., z-. The alternative is the mouse wheel...
I am used to vi since the 80's and is the editor I still use today on Linux terminals so when this happened to me on IDEA I was lucky to remember and suspect of that on the first time.
Sorry if these details are boring
Ensure you haven't unintentionally enabled vim emulation. Go to IntelliJ Idea -> Preferences and select Plugins. Scroll down and look for the vim emulation plugin and if it's checked, then either uncheck it or uninstall it completely.
Ran into same issue with intelliJ 2017.1.2, but no VIM Plugin. However, I had just created an empty project with some .groovy files. I could edit the files in the groovy project, but not java projects.
Only way I could fix java projects, was blow-away workspace.xml files in each, then I could edit again. However, had to re-create tomcat configs, breakpoints, other IDE settings. etc.
I had a problem with entering characters when working with .story files. When I tried to type in any character, it appeared for a short while and immediately disappeared. The cause of the problem was jbehave plugin I was using. After uninstalling it and restarting IntelliJ everything was fine.
It seems to be because another window has the cursor and is not giving it back.
Check any open floated windows, click on them & then click back to your intellij instance
alternatively, if you have multiple intellij instances open the cursor could be there...
Go to the most recently opened IntelliJ instance
Check if the cursor has become stuck in that project's terminal window, or another window
no? check all other open IntelliJ instances
For me it happened because of vim
Om Mac, I solved it by navigating to File → Reload All from Disk.
Keyboard shortcut: ⌥ ⌘ Y
IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.4
Try disabling plugins one at a time. It was the "BashSupport Pro" plugin that caused it for me. Disabled it and I could type again right away.
I read other comments saying some other plugins caused the issue as well.
Is there a way to save the Embedded Tabs so each time you open PyCharm you don't have to reconfigure the tab names? It seems like such a simple issue to have but I am unable to find any information on it. This is the documentation on JetBrains Site for Embedded Tabs but it mentions nothing about saving them to the default layout. Each time you open the IDE you are required to click the plus sign and rename the tab.
I have tried exporting settings and re-importing them with no luck at all. It has nothing to do with them theme from what I can tell.
There is an issue about saving terminal tabs between sessions, please vote :)
