I know it seems like a stupid question, but I can't manage to change the default keyboard shortcuts in Unreal Engine (v4.18).
What I want to do :
I want to navigate in the game preview (when clicking "play") with the keyboard shortcuts that follows :
Z to move forward (Actual default W)
Q to move left (Actual default A)
S to move backward (Actual default S)
D to move right (Actual default D)
How I tried to solve it :
I went to "Edit->Editor preferences->Keyboard shortcuts" then I searched for "viewport navigation" after reading a post. There, I set up my changes like this :
I then closed the window, but I still have to use the "defaults" bindings to navigate, and this is actually a pain because I'm not on a QWERTY keyboard.
I restarted the editor many times and also restarted the computer, my changes are visible in the shortcuts configuration, but they seem to not be applied.
Some help would be appreciated because I couldn't find any over the forums or the documentation.
Thanks.
Try to run ue as admin.
Check config files in your project folder, you can always create your own config file with your keybindings. (make sure you have permission to write to file.)
Edit > Project Settings... > Engine > Input > Bindings > Action Mappings / Axis Mappings
Screenshot for more details
After that, you can change your keyboard shortcuts for the "game preview".
Good luck with your game o/

I often place my tabs in an order I like, or ctrl-tab to recently used tabs. But then I temporarily checkout a branch in git in which those files are missing, and the tabs automatically disappear. Even in simpler editors such as notepad++, deleted files can be kept open in the editor. Can this be done in IntelliJ IDEA? Thanks.
(There seems to be no such option in the obvious File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Editor Tabs)
There is unfortunately no such option.
I typically use ctrl-e key very often, to re-open recently used files.
There is another option you could look at, and that is "restore workspace" configuration on switching branches.
You can try settings -> version control -> Confirmation -> Restore workspace on branch switching and see if that helps.
Is there a way to enable being able to scroll past the last line in IntelliJ IDEA?
It's a nice feature that exists in some editors, as it lets you keep your eyes at the middle of the screen, rather than have to stare at the bottom of it
Is there any way to enable something like this? Either through the standard settings or via plugin?
File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Check Show virtual space at file bottom
Mac: IntelliJ IDEA -> Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Check: Show virtual space at file bottom
PC: File -> Settings -> Editor -> Check: Show virtual space at file bottom
Short way:
You could also hit shift key twice to open menu and write "show virtual space" and then just click on the option to toggle it on/off.
Couldn't find the simple solution on SO, so thought I would add this here for anyone looking in the future.
My symptom was that I could copy and paste within the IJ editor, but not from the editor to another application or from another app to the editor.
This was on Windows 10 with IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.6.
I have found the best solution yet (for me in any case). I have tried everything! Including adding and removing Keymap options. And this is actually where the problem lies...sort of.
When you have the Vim plugin installed, Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v is allocated to Vim.
To change that, go to Setting>>Other Settings>>Vim Emulation and set the Handler to IDE. Apply and OK, and Voila!
My solution (thanks to a similar issue reported with Android Studio) was to run IntelliJ as an admin.
Steps to always run IntelliJ in admin mode:
Right-click on IntelliJ icon in start menu search (or wherever you started it) -> Open file location
Right-click IntelliJ shortcut -> Open file location (yes, again to get to the .exe, not the shortcut.)
Right-click idea.exe -> Properties
Compatibility tab -> check Run this program as an Administrator
Right-click idea64.exe -> Properties (if you run IntelliJ in 64 bit mode)
Compatibility tab -> check Run this program as an Administrator
Same problem drove me completely insane but this
https://www.quora.com/Why-doesnt-Ctrl+V-and-Ctrl+C-work-in-IntelliJ-IDEA-14-0-2-on-Linux
worked for me:
You might try Ctrl+INS for copy and Shift+INS for paste and see if they work. They are the traditional cut and paste and have been around a lot longer than Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v.
i don't know why, but this worked!
To make copy/paste through shortcut keys working with Vim Plugin you need to change some settings of Intellij IDE's editor regarding vim emulation, you need to follow these steps for it:
Click Menu File > Settings... (or use shortcut Ctrl + Alt + S)
Select Editor -> Vim Emulation and find the shortcuts and change their Handler column value to IDE as shown in the screenshot below.
The Shortcuts will start working, happy coding :)
Another solution i've found
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=173201
was:
Try to minimize Idea window and move it on the same monitor where is the code that you want to copy and paste it. After this small minimize and move exercise the clipboard starts working.
Ctrl-Shft-V starts working after this for me!!!!!
Try to enable "Use national layouts". Settings- Keymap.
For some reason it worked for me.

I am using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate v 13.1, and I am fond of using key board short cuts, rarely use mouse. I am relatively new to this IDE as earlier I always worked on eclipse.
My question is about performing right click operations by pressing the right click key on key board (usually found near the right side Ctrl key on external key boards). The problem is when I press this key, nothing happens but when I click the mouse right click and things just happen. This is applicable on editor, project explorer and I guess everywhere in the IDE.
Is there a switch I should turn on and it will work or any other way to get key board right click work in IDEA? Thanks very much for your responses.
I know it is an old question, but it popped up as 1st result when I searched for my issue, and I figured it out with some of the context in Ketan#'s answer.
Fix:
Go to File -> Settings -> Keymap
Search for "Show Context Menu"
Add a new keyboard shortcut. When prompted, press the "right click" (aka "context menu") key.
For me, It simply works after just restart the IntelliJ IDE
Sometimes accidents just happen for good! This one falls in that category :)
Somehow IDEA was unable to load any of my projects, and I thought of deleting '.IntelliJIdea13' directory from my user directory. Initially I didn't change my keymap (shortcuts) to Eclipse and right click just works fine.
In any case the problem is there for IntelliJ to fix. They should allow right click from keyboard to work even when shortscuts are mapped to Eclipse style.
I tried to change the shortcuts to Eclipse and keyboard right click stopped working. When I change it to default, it starts working.
If you was installed it with jetbrains toolbox you can't made it easily.
I made a script written in php but you could adapt it to other languages:

The IntelliJ IDEA short-cut to reformat source code is Ctrl+Alt+L. This happens to lock the screen in KDE (Gnome too?). How can I disable this so IntelliJ receives the key sequence?
Under the K menu, go to the Control Center.
Regional & Accessibility |
Keyboard Shortcuts |
Shortcut Schemes tab,
Global Shortcuts tab.
In the search box, type "lock", which should narrow the visible shortcuts and show the Ctrl+Alt+L one ("Lock Session").
Underneath, click None.
Click the Apply button.
On KDE Plasma 5 go to System Settings | Desktop Behaviour | Screen Locking
Here you will find a "Keyboard Shortcut" option. Change it to something else or set to none
On Kubuntu 11.10 it's well hidden:
Start System Settings
Under Common Appearance and Behavior, select Shortcuts and Gestures.
Select Global Keyboard Shortcuts in the left-hand panel.
Select the KDE Component: Run Command Interface (important, otherwise you won't see the ctrl-alt-L mapping!)
Select Lock Session
Edit the setting, either choose a different mapping or 'none'.
I eventually found how to disable the lock screen key binding (Ctrl-Alt-L) in the System Setting app.
System Settings->"Keyboard Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts
I had to choose the KDE component: Run Command Interface.
I'm running KDE on Fedora Core 9.
For Linux Mint:
System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> System -> Lock screen
It's easy to disable all global keyboard shortcuts in KDE for specific applications. I've done it in KDE 4 and now I've done it in KDE 5 again. So in KDE 5 right click on your application's window title -> More actions -> Special Window Settings (or Special Application Settings) -> Appearance & Fixes -> Ignore Global Shortcuts -> Force, Yes. It's much easier than to look for each shortcut one by one.
You can check such configurations in System Settings -> Window Management -> Window Rules.
Instead of disabling anything, you can also use ctrl+meta+alt+l in most applications where this problem exists. KDE knows the meta key (aka the 'windows key'), but the applications seem to ignore it and consider it to be just ctrl+alt+l.
I know, old question, but I didn't easily find a decent answer. If anybody is wondering how to disable it on Ubuntu (while the Windows_key + L shortcut will still work):
Go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts tab -> System -> select Lock screen and press backspace to clear it.
For KDE Plasma 5
1 - click on K menu, type keyboard, choose Global Keyboard shortcuts
2 - Choose the KDE Session Manager in KDE component , at Lock Session, do what you want, disable the shortcut or choose another!
For Ubuntu 16.04 System settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcut -> System -> LockScreen -> click-it and make changes
I changed my to ctrl+alt+H from ctrl+atl+L
Here is the Screen shot which tells where the above instructions will lead you to.
Keyboard -> shortcuts
Another option is to change the Idea keymap to use Default for KDE.
You can go to File -> settings -> keymap and then select the Default for KDE option from the drop down
Also you can change it with the configuration file.
The following files store the keyboard shortcuts of KDE Plasma 5 and of some of its associated applications such as Konsole and KWrite.
~/.config/kdeglobals
~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc
~/.config/khotkeysrc
~/.config/kwinrc
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/konsole/konsoleui.rc
~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/konsole/sessionui.rc
~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kwrite/kwriteui.rc
Let me add descriptions for the files.
Standard Shortcuts (System Settings > Shortcuts)
~/.config/kdeglobals
Global Shortcuts (System Settings > Shortcuts)
~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc
"Custom Shortcuts" (System Settings > Shortcuts)
~/.config/khotkeysrc

For those who prefer visual answers, here's where this settings can be found
IMPORTANT Note that there are two values: Global and Global Alternative. I had to unbind the Global Alternative shortcut to resolve a problem with IntelliJ.
Ubuntu 20.04 + KDE plasma:
Use Global Shorcuts -> System Setting Module menu -> Lock session. Set to "Custom -> None"
