I've installed IdeaVim in PyCharm and in IntelliJ and I'd like to set the editors to handle certain key events. How can I do that?
Previously, I've seen a popup with a message like "You just pressed x+y and it was handled by IdeaVim. If you'd like to have PyCharm handle this instead, click here" - and then I'd click there for the cases where I wanted PyCharm to handle it. But now I don't see that popup, and I can't figure out where I can set this manually.
Of course I figured this out one minute after posting. You can do it in Settings -> Other settings -> Vim emulation.

I googled but have not found any solving documentation/thread regarding this:
Is there a way to set keyboard shortcut to go full screen in Webstorm Terminal tool window from Terminal window?
I know shortcut shift+Command+' but that doesn't work for me inside terminal. I know by double clicking it you can toggle it to full screen but wondering that is it possible to set keyboard shortcut to do it as I do this operation often.
Try the "Maximize tool window" command in the menu - Window->Active Tool Window->Maximize tool window
Or from terminal tool menu - Resize-> Maximize tool window
Warning! The following shortcut only works if "Override IDE shortcuts" option is disabled
To map a shortcut to this, open the Preferences dialog and type "Maximize tool window" to search the settings. It should find a match in the keymap section, and you can then use it to assign a shortcut.
It will warn you if you already have something assigned to your choice.
Warning! The following option will cause some problems in Terminal, for example, editing in vim (Esc key) etc.
Also, you can to checkout the "Override IDE shortcuts" setting in the Terminal section of the Preferences. This is enabled by default - I turn it off and find it resolves a lot of niggles I have with using the terminal. The shortcut above only works if it's disabled.
In Mac cmd+shift+fn+12 will do the trick
I mostly like zen mode - cmd(ctrl)+K,Z

Double press 'escape' from anywhere will bring you back to editor tab.
I have some handy mappings set up in my ~/.ideavimrc some of which result in IntelliJ opening a new window/dialog box. For example the following line lets me type \t and it'll open IntelliJ's "jump to test" dialog box which lets me jump to an existing test or create a new test file:
:map \t :action GotoTest<CR>
This almost works great. The only issue is that when the dialog box pops up the focus is still on the editor window, not the dialog box. As a result I can't simply use the arrow keys to select my option and hit enter. Instead, I have to use the mouse. As a good code nerd, I abhor the mouse. So, how do I get the keyboard focus to change? Is this possible?
It's fixed in the master branch https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-796, but the fix hasn't been released yet. You can download a CI build and help testing IdeaVim. See https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim for more details.
Is there a shortcut for focusing the Filter box in tool windows, specifically the Change Log?
See the attached screenshot to know which field I'm talking about. I searched the net and key map, but found nothing like that.
I have confirmed at Jetbrains that unfortunately it's not possible yet: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/message/5520523#5520523
Just start typing with the focus inside the tool window. IDEA invokes the search automatically. To select the item, press Enter. To cancel, press Esc.
This feature is called Tool Window Speed Search.
IntelliJ IDEA 13 has the new Search Anywhere feature. It sounds like it might be useful, but so far it just gets in the way. It's mapped to some kind of magical shift-based shortcut, and it comes up every time I try to shift-click to select text. When this happens, the pop-up flickers and gets into some stuck state, so the only way to get rid of it is to click in the editor pane, which of course loses the selection.
I call the shortcut "magical" because the Search Everywhere action appears in the Settings → Keymap list with no mapping, so I can't remove this mapping the usual way. Searching the dialog for search gives no relevant results.
How can I disable this buggy feature until it's ready for production use, and get back the ability to select text?
To disable the "Search everywhere" feature, you need to invoke "Go to action" (Ctrl+Shift+A), then type "Registry...".
Scroll down to "ide.suppress.double.click.handler" and check the box.

After updating to build 133.331, I tried assigning a normal shortcut to it in Settings → Keymap, and that made it stop appearing on double-shift.
The settings for the new version have changed
Version: IDEA 2021.2.3
Preference > Advanced Settings
Scroll down to "User Interface", find "Disable double modifier key shortcuts" and check the box.
It's called Search Everywhere, and it's present in keymap.
For me it's perfectly disabled.
EDIT As I'v found it is hardcoded now, and will popup at doubleshift source
There is also an issue at jira, about this problem.
I hope it will be fixed soon.
from: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-161094
In IDEA 2021.2:
You could enable the Settings (Preference on macOS) |
Advanced Settings | Disable double modifier key shortcuts option to
disable it.
This problem is still present under linux (ubuntu amd64 16.10 ) on Android Studio using X11Rdp for remote connection, maybe in other situations too - the Search Everywhere dialog appear on single Shift press.
The answer is here
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-114933#comment=27-603899
Basically you need to
Open lib/resources.jar/idea/PlatformActions.xml and remove or comment such line:
<action id="SearchEverywhere" class="com.intellij.ide.actions.SearchEverywhereAction" />
and repack the jar.
Since end of 2017 you can add -Dide.suppress.double.click.handler=true to the custom VM options: cf. the answer from JetBrains.
This seems like a bug in IntelliJ 12: Every couple of times when I switch between keyboard layouts (English and Hebrew) IntelliJ get stuck on one of them and ignore the windows selected keyboard layout. This happens only for intelliJ, all other programs respond as usual to the windows selected keyboard layout.
Is there at least a workaround, or a way to reset IntelliJ's keyboard layout? The only thing that seems to work for me so far is restarting my machine...
(My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit)
This is 100% reproduced when you switch keyboard layout in quick class search (Ctrl+N). Also in intellij idea 13.
Something like:
Open quick search menu when keyboard is not in English layout (Russian e.g.)
Type anything
Switch to English
Congratulations! you stuck in russian layout :) restart your intellij idea!
When I ceased to switch layout in search, I forgot about this problem.
UPD: it's suitable for most part of text inputs (even for search and file creation)
I've just had this problem on PyCharm 2020.2.3
Here's how I've solved it:
Go to Settings -> Keymap
At the bottom of the window, check the option Use national layouts for shortcuts (require restart)
That did the trick
restarting IntelliJ also works.
I wonder how they managed to get such a stupid bug, this is not an easy bug to write, especially in Java.
That was found to be more like a global Microsoft/Oracle bug. Simple workaround from IntelliJ's issue tracker: use Windows' language parameters to assign a hotkey (Ctrl + number) for changing the layout directly to a desired language. This suddenly will affect both Windows And IDEA. It's said that bug was fixed in Win8. A bit more info: here
In 2020 bug is still relevant in the most IDEs based on IntelliJ. For example I observe this in PyCharm now.
There is workaround for Windows:
Go to Language Bar - Settings... - Advanced Key Settings
Set key sequence of To English action to Ctrl + 1
Set key sequence of to other your language to Ctrl + 2
Apply
Go to IntelliJ/PyCharm and switch language by new sequences
After that bug disappears and you can switch language by traditional method
For me the following actions seem to resolve the issue:
Go to Control Panel
Select Clock, Language & Region
Press Region
In the opened window choose English for Format.
Also all my settings except the location are set to English (locale, default keyboard etc.)
This fix worked on my mac, access Preferences -> Editor -> Typing Corrector from the intellij IDEA menu. If you are able to navigate to the same window on your OS, you can try this.
Uncheck Enable keyboard layout correction in the Typing Corrector window
I got the same issue in Ubuntu 16.04. Restarting IDEA doesn't change anything. But Changing the default layout to be the one I want by default ensured ubuntu work well with it.
Go to the search textfield above file editor.
Switch layout.
Type smth.
Click somwhere in the file editor.
Write smth with swithed layout.
