Configuring Intellij to behave as Eclipse - intellij-idea

As i recently switched to Intellij from eclipse, i was looking for a way a way i can make Intellij shortcuts to behave same as Eclipse.
I found that there are individual shortcuts available to be edited, But that is too much time taking.
Any help on locating the easy way out?

If you go to File -> Settings -> Keymap you can choose Eclipse from the dropdown list.
More information regarding keyboard shortcut configuration you could find here.
Personally I would advise to learn the default shortcuts from Intellij IDEA.

There is Eclipse predefined keymap in "Keymap" list at Settings | Keymap.

Is there a way to change all the shortcuts in IntelliJ Idea (Mac) to be the same as under Linux?

I have recently been handed a company laptop that runs on MacOS. I've been using Linux for 20 years now. The MacOS shortcuts are literally driving me insane and I am looking for a way to have the same ones as under Linux. Is there a way to so this? Perhaps by replacing the shortcuts mapping file, or something?
Please, advise.
You can download keymaps as a plugin from the plugin repository. Go to Preferences | Plugins and search for "keymap" in the Marketplace. This will show you a list of all the keymap plugins that are available. You probably need either "GNOME Keymap" or "KDE Keymap".

Are VS code keybindings available for IntelliJ Idea?

I'm used to VS code shortcuts, is there anything way I can import vscode shortcuts for IntelliJ Idea.
Intellij officially launched the plugin VSCode Keymap for IntelliJ IDEs
You can download it or add by going to Settings > Plugins and searching for VS Code
In my case,
VScode plugin was already installed.
So I just changed default keymap(windows) to vscode by going through:
settings -> keymap -> updated keymap selection to vscode.
hope it helps someone.

Text editor that mimics the same hotkeys as those found in JetBrains WebStorm, IntelliJ, PyCharm etc

I would love to just replicate the same hot keys as I'm used to in WebStorm and IntelliJ, Android Studio, but just in a text editor.
Anyone knows if there is a project open source or not for this?
You can do this for both Atom and Sublime. You'll have to change the default keybindings for either editor but this is easy to do.
For Atom here is a link that will show you how to change the default keybindings to intellij.
For Sublime, this link contains the intellij keybindings.
If you want to use another IDE's keybindings besides intellij, just google sublime <IDE that you want> keybinding map.
I hope that helps!
Take a look at Visual Studio Code. It's a great editor with loads of available extensions. You'll be able to configure the key bindings yourself or install something like IntelliJ IDEA Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code.

Is there a keyboard shortcut in IntelliJ IDEA to synchronize all Gradle projects?

Since I need to refresh Gradle quite often I wish to use a shortcut for this. Under
Settings > Keymaps
I just find the Gradle Tool Windows.
I use IntellJ IDEA 13.1.
There's an action in the IDE to "Refresh all external projects" which should kick off a refresh for the Gradle project.
You can allocate this action with your own keybinding. Open Settings -> Keymap and type "refresh" in the search field. Now you should see some refresh actions and the "ExternalSystem.RefreshAllProjects" as well.
In the keymap setting, there's Sync Project with Gradle Files. Assign your own keymap for it.
Bringing you smoothly programming by directly using the hotkey to sync.

How to assign a keyboard shortcut to a run configuration in IntelliJ?

It seems you can assign a keyboard shortcut to almost everything else, but I can't see an option to do this for run/debug configurations?
The "run configurations" are listed in the drop-down on the IntelliJ toolbar. I'd like to setup a run configuration that can perform two maven tasks sequentially (jetty:stop and then jetty:run if you are interested), and assign a keyboard shortcut to this action.
Any ideas?
Finally! JetBrains has implemented this feature in IntelliJ IDEA v9.
in Idea 8 anyway, you can specify a shortcut to any file menu item- even Maven goals. Try settings- Keymap and look for the Maven goals. You will still probably need two keys. One for each action.
