I have drag and drop enabled in the editor settings however when I highlight text and then try and move it the editor seems to perform the cut but not the paste. I can manually paste afterwards but it is really annoying.
It would seem that the plugin "Markdown Navigator" was causing the issue. With help from the vendor I identified and removed this plugin - which corrected the problem.

Drag and drop is easy to get used to and work with (for the more physical/muscle-memory spirits like me), considered annoying by others, no problem... but when each time a dialog comes up, it's super annoying!!
I found out how to disable the drag and drop feature here: Disable click and drag cut and paste in IntelliJ Idea IDE
But I would use it for shifting a few files quickly from one folder to another, not waste time leaving the IDE or thinking about questions like this.
Please help!
In IntelliJ IDEA, one of the more helpful commands I've found is 'Shift-Enter' - it effectively moves the cursor to the end of the line, and starts a new line, thus not affecting the text on the current line.
I'd like to re-create this in Atom, but I can't seem to figure out how one would go about doing so. It doesn't look like you can have multiple editor actions for a given key combination, and I'm not sure if I simply can't find the esoteric editor command I'm looking for.
How can I recreate the behavior of shift-enter in IntelliJ for Atom?
As it so happens, I stumbled across the shortcut: You can use cmd-enter to do the same action. I'm not sure what the underlying command is, but I hope this is helpful to other people!
You can recreate this behaviour by adding this to your keymap:
'atom-workspace atom-text-editor:not([mini])':
'shift-enter': 'editor:newline-below'
Detailed answer;
Freshly open atom editor
Open Keymap option
Copy this and paste this;
'atom-workspace atom-text-editor:not([mini])':
'shift-enter': 'editor:newline-below'
Click save and close the file
Press Shift and enter, Now you'll be able to form a new line below the line you currently in are regardless of the place you are typing in.
In my IntelliJ Idea 13.1.2 IDE I keep running into situations where I'm selecting on a click and drag via my laptop touch pad. I keep accidentally clicking and dragging text and cutting lines. I've searched the options and settings panels for the words click and drag but I don't see a way to turn this feature off. IntelliJ's help talks about how to use click and drag cutting but doesn't say how to disable it.
Does anyone know how to disable cut and paste through click and drag in the IntelliJ IDE?
I found it in Settings → Editor → General.
Under the Mouse heading. The option is called "Enable Drag'n'Drop functionality in editor".
This also seems to disable drag and drop moving of files though.
In WebStorm 2020.1 (and presumably in other Jetbrains IDEs), the related option 'Move code fragments with drag-and-drop' is in Preferences > Editor > General:
Unchecking the checkbox does the trick without unwanted side effects such as also disabling the drag-and-drop operations for files etc.
There is no way to disable Drag-n-drop highlighted text in the editor itself!!! ALT guard for drag-n-drop files is a good idea as I accidentally drag and drop files on daily basis. Kudos for discovering that I just enabled it.
I have contacted Intellij support to give us a setting that we can disable in editor drag and drop. I think that is a stupid feature in the first place...
Recently I was using Aptana to view multiple files side by side. The unfortunate thing is that now I can not remove the editor (side by side) windows that are marked by red arrows. Also, you can obviously see that I have been trying to drag them away which is making the problem worse. I have tried to Google around but have found no solution. I can uninstall and reinstall Aptana, but if there is a fix I would rather know it and not have to go through a reinstallation process each time an issue like this arises.
Also I would like to add that I may be having trouble Googling the solution since I am not 100% sure on the name of the "editor tabs". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My reputation is too low so here is a image link of my issue:

The answer is extremely simple. If you ever run into the issue as shown in the picture above, simply open new files and drag them into the empty spaces that the extra "editor windows" are located. From there just close (x) out the window and it will remove the extra windows.
My first day using this IDE...
is there a way to configure the IDE to open files in the project by double click? It is rather painful having to drag files from the project overview into the editor window.
You can change the KeyMap.
Go to File->Settings and find the keymap section.
You will have to create a new KeyMap by clicking copy, and then look in the View section for "Jump to Source" and change/add the keymap you want.
However, as Bozhidar Batsov noted, double clicking may not always work so well. Whether it works may vary by OS and/or windowing system. I have no trouble with it in Mac OS X, but it doesn't seem to work well in openSUSE.
There are also other predefined keymaps that you can select from this settings screen. They're set up to resemble other IDEs, so you might find them helpful if you're transitioning from something else.
It is easy way to do in windows.
I found a great solution to this problem by Jelmer Kuperus over at Orange11.
Create an .Xresources file in your home directory. Add the following line:
*multiClickTime: 400
Jelmer explains that this setting changes the default double-click speed from 200ms to 400ms, effectively slowing it down. Save the file and then run:
xrdb ~/.Xresources
The effect is immediate, no need to logout or reboot. Double-click in Intellij works as expected. I did try changing the mouse double-click speed in System Settings first before trying this out to see if that made a difference but it did not.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04, Intellij 10.5.2, and Sun JDK 1.6.0_26. YMMV
Use F4 to open quickly the selected files. Btw double clicking on files should work as well(at least in theory). Swing's buggy handling of such events, however, causes the double click to not always work in IDEA, so I eventually stopped double clicking and switched to using F4. You can also use "Autoscroll to source" from the projects menu - this will open the source files as soon as you select them in the project browser.
