I installed a couple of packets to enable the IDE in Atom. However, every time I type, a popup list comes up and it's rather annoying. I looked into the packet settings, but nothing worked to disable it...

What you're looking for is Auto completion. Try googling on how to disable it.

It might have popped up when I was trying shortcuts out but even after trying a variety of the atom shortcuts I can't seem to get rid of it.
Have you tried Window: Reload command (shortcut: pressing ctrl-alt-cmd-l), it will try to reload the entire window and refresh everything.
Can you provide more details on what shortcut have you tried?
Asked on the atom.io discussion board, turns out I just have to wait for atom to update it's electron to a version where this bug doesn't happen.
When I press ESC or F5 key in many windows (like Preview) of MacOS Yosemite (10.10.1), or El Capitan (10.11.5) an autocomplete menu appear, and sometimes auto insert the first word in the document I am, what is very inconvenient. It modifies PDF's, docs, and many other documents accidentally.
How can I disable it?
As noted in another answer:
It's the auto completion from the built in spell checker and after a lengthy search I found the solution in Apples Discussion Forums:
defaults write -g NSUseSpellCheckerForCompletions -bool false
Afterwards restart affected programs and Esc just cancels searches again.
I just recently encountered this problem as well. Note that this is only a partial solution.
If you want to assign a different functionality to the F5 key (which is what I wanted to do) then doing so will prevent it from triggering autocomplete. For example, I mapped F5 to Show Desktop (which was my goal anyway) in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Mission Control and now F5 doesn't trigger autocomplete.
This doesn't solve anything for escape though.
I have found a simple fix for this problem. You'll notice a setting in the picture below that says "Correct spelling automatically." Disabling this prevents the ESC and F5 keys from activating an autocomplete popup. If you are in a browser or some other app that doesn't use autocorrect, just check it again but remember to uncheck when you don't want the behaviour.
For some reason Intellijs text cursor keeps following my mouse and highlighting everything. Is there some setting that can do that? I can't seem to find it from searching the settings. Where else could it be?
If you have a touchscreen try touching it somewhere. It helped me to solve the issue.
Found the solution in this thread on the JB website.
I use a touch screen monitor and i deal with the same issue. my mouse cursor remained in selecting state and highlight every thing.
I touch somewhere on the my monitor screen once and solved this problem without closing app.
Other solutions are:
close and open app
/ restarting computer
I had that problem twice on two different computers in different jetbrains IDEs, gogland and pycharm.
The solution, as annoying as easy, restarting of the machine. Restarting the IDE or even up/downgrading did not help.
Solution
Go to setting
Search for mouse
In the editor action, edit the Add rectangular selection on mouse drag
I want to move back/forward between editor tabs, using the two additional ("virtual") mouse buttons I have (RAZER DEATHADDER BLACK).
In Eclipse it's possible by default.
In IDEA I go to File->Settings->Keymap->Main menu->Window->Editor Tabs.
There I have Select Next Tab with the deault Alt+Right shortcut.
Then I open the Add Mouse Shortcut.
In that dialog I try to assign the back button of my mouse but without success. It doesn't react at all.
Anyway, googling a bit I've found this thread. I quote Alexey Gopachenko which seems to be an employee of IntelliJ:
As stated above - we can't support buttons if JDK on your platform
does not support them - and obviously it does not.
Anyway, that is totally wrong. My platform does support these keys - I actually work with them, on the same platform, on Eclipse and any other app, so it's IDEA who ignores them.
I'd appriciate a solution - how do I assign these back/forward mouse buttons?
UPDATE #1
I've found out that IDEA uses its own JAVA distribution (C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.4\jre on Windows 7), instead of the system's one - WHY?!
I'm almost SURE that is the reason I cannot use extended mouse buttons.
I've tried to trick IDEA by creating a custom Windows shortcut. Didn't work. I've also tried to create a SYMLINK in windows to my other, system-wide JRE distribution. Didn't work as well.
If someone come up with an idea on how to make it work with the system's JRE instead of its own - I think that'd solve the issue.
UPDATE #2
The above update #1 is not the issue.
I also had the same problem under OS X El Capitan. I just tried to add a new Keyboard-Shortcut and pressed than the Button 4 on the mouse and this worked.
Back/Forward mouse shortcuts work fine for me with Razer Mamba mouse, for example Back action is assigned to Button4 Click and I can confirm that it is recognized in this dialog when I click on the Click Pad area:
If it doesn't work with your mouse for some reason, you can try to workaround the problem using the Razer Configurator macro or key assignments:
Use the assigned key in IDEA keymap settings instead of the mouse shortcut.
Note that Eclipse is SWT based while IDEA is Swing based, so mouse event management is completely different. If JDK cannot recognize your device button clicks, it will not work in any Java Swing applications (NetBeans, JEdit, etc). In some cases running IDEA under a more recent JDK version may help (if support for your device was added in the newer JDK release).
I'm experiencing the exact same thing suddenly.
I realized my most recent change was to start using idea64.exe rather than idea.exe.
I switched back, and my mouse buttons are working fine again.
So, while this is not a complete answer, it seems as if it has something to do with the 64-bit version.
If the Razer driver's button mapping feature doesn't allow different mappings for a particular program, you can just assign the buttons to the mouse button number choices (mouse button 4 / mouse button 5) and then install a third party app that does support mappings for particular programs, e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/562972/how-to-map-bind-mouse-button-as-keyboard-button-in-windows-7
This question helped me although I have a Logitech Marathon Mouse M705, so I thought that I would share the solution in case other Logitech owners was in search for this.
I have a similar problem with a Logitech mouse and idea64.exe
Fortunately their SetPoint software allows for program specific settings.
This setting will have to be deleted and then reconfigured whenever you update IntelliJ and get a new idea64.exe :-)
I am experiencing a very similar problem and wanted to share my findings. I just bought a new Logitech M705 mouse. Within intelli-j the scroll right and scroll left buttons do not work. The forward and backward buttons also do not work.
I typically run intelli-j as administrator because I need higher privileges to run various tomcat services. When logging in as that user (rather than right clicking and selecting run as admin) all the buttons work! Also, when running as my normal user all the buttons work.
Also very curious is that I have an older generation Logitech mouse (same model, M705). This mouse has no problems with the scroll buttons and forward-back.
My solution for now is to use intelli-j as the user I am logged in as.
Check out this little tutorial from BetterTouchTool here. Basically for some mice (like Logitech ones) using the settings application they come with you can map default button actions to clicks and in doing so set a button number and use it as normal.
This works for my Logitech Performance MX mouse.
You can add mouse shortcuts, just click on an action in keymap and add mouse shortcut.
Alternatively Ctrl+Tab brings up switcher, which may be less clicks to navigate.
I have a Macintosh Mozilla plugin which puts up a separate window for login information.
It seems to work fine, it gets keyboard events like typing and hitting
return to hit the default button. HOWEVER, it doesn't seem to get cut
and paste events. When I hit Cmd-v, the edit menu flashes, but nothing
happnes.
Is this a problem with my responder chain? Do I have to specially tell
Mozilla that I want these events? or am I likely to have some other
problem that I haven't even thought of?
It turns out the problem is that I'm using cocoa windows inside Mozilla, which isn't Cocoa... fail.
