How to disable IntelliJ IDEA version control by default? - intellij-idea

Every single time I create a new project in IntelliJ IDEA it sets its version control system to Subversion. It's kind of annoying to disable it manually every time. How do I disable it for good, so that the default option for version control is "none"?

There is no setting which disables version control by default for new projects but we can disable the Subversion (or Git or Mercurial or ...) plugin generally.
To do that:
Go to File/Settings/Plugins
Choose tab Installed
Look for the Subversion plugin, disable it by removing the tick and clicking "Apply":
Optional:
Disable Git version control:
untick Git Integration (this will disable Github and Google Cloud Tools Core, Google Cloud Tools For Android Studio too)
Disable Mercurial version control:
untick Mercurial Integration

Do you use Maven by chance? There is an issue with VCS detection for maven projects. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-115100

Migrate intelliJ IDE everything useful from one system to another

I have been using the IntelliJ IDE for development on my macbook pro. I am not moving to a new macbook and will be installing the IntelliJ IDE on that system.
How can I migrate everything useful like installed plugins, settings, etc from the older system to the new system.
Use File | Manage IDE Settings... | Export/Import Settings... actions.
Note that this action is unavailable if you have a settings repository configured or if you have enabled Settings Sync.
See more in a related Share IDE settings documentation topic.

How do I download ClojureDocs for Cursive manually in IntelliJ?

I've recently installed the Cursive plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. At first startup, a popup asks whether ClojureDocs examples should be downloaded:
I clicked on "Don't ask me again" by mistake, instead of "Download". This only happens on the first startup of the plugin, so there's no chance of getting the choice again (as explained in the relevant documentation).
How do I get this installed? As I'm fairly new to the language and environment, I find the examples of great help.
I've searched for a setting that would allow the plugin to ask again, or to initiate the download - no success.
I've tried to disable then enable the plugin (including restarts of the IDE) - no success.
I've tried to uninstall then reinstall the plugin (including restarts of the IDE) - no success. It seems to remember the old setting.
I imagine removing some configuration file or option would do the trick.
This applies to IntelliJ IDEA version 2020.3 and Cursive version 1.10.0-2020.3 - the Cursive plugin has already been installed and is active.
On menu go to File > Settings, in Settings Language & Frameworks > Clojure, heading Documentation Options, click Update.

How to configure IntelliJ to show SVN as a repository option alongside GIT, Mercurial, etc?

I had a project I am working on running on IntelliJ and connected to SVN. However when I opened IntelliJ today it wasn't connected. So I tried to enable version control from VCS but the SVN option isn't there, or in checkout from version control or import into version control.
I checked if Subversion plugin was enabled in the settings and it was, what's the problem?
The Marketplace tab shows plugins available in the repository. So it looks like the plugin is installed, but not enabled.
Switch to the Installed tab, and make sure the plugin is enabled.

Where can I find the IntelliJ SSH Remote Run Plugin?

I want to connect to a server via SSH directly in IntelliJ IDEA. Google's first search result links to the IntelliJ IDEA help manual about "Running SSH Terminal". In this guide's first step I am told that IDEA includes the "SSH Remote Run" plugin which I can't either find any information on or find it in the plugin repository of the IntelliJ platform.
This is the meant section of the manual page:
Make sure the SSH Remote Run plugin is enabled. The plugin is bundled with IntelliJ IDEA and activated by default. If the plugin is not activated, enable it on the Plugins page of the Settings / Preferences Dialog as described in Enabling and Disabling Plugins.

Enable Perforce in all IntelliJ windows

For some reason, Perforce is working on one project window but not the other. Does anybody know what I have do to make intellij recognize that the current project uses perforce. I have checked the Settings -> Version Control -> Perforce settings. Settings are good, I was able to connect.
I am lost, any help is appreciated.
VCS -> Enable VCS Integration
Note that the this option is not visible if VCS Integration is already enabled.
