I am trying to execute a keyboard shortcut noted as Ctrl+,,f
The shortcut is meant to evaluate a script by sublimeREPL in Sublime Text 3.
What exactly should I press on the keyboard? I tried holding Ctrl and then pressing the comma key two times and then the f key. I also tried holding all the keys, but I every time I try, I get the find box triggered.
What am I missing here?
It's a chord. Ctrl,, then F.

If I select something using any of the various methods Atom (and other packages provide) and want to leave the cursor where it's at, but undo the selection itself, is there a way to do that with a keyboard shortcut?
I tried Esc, but to no avail. I can easily use the arrow keys, or click with the mouse, but I'd rather hit a shortcut without having to move my hands off home row. Lazy me. :)
If you really want that home row, no mouse efficiency, consider installing Vim-Mode-Plus on atom. I'm using it, and when I press escape, it removes the highlighting.
Most programs copy selected text (say selectedText1), open textbox and paste buffer in search when Ctrl-C, Ctrl-F, Ctrl-V hotkeys are pressed. IntelliJ decided change this behavior to "more efficient". Ctrl-C, Ctrl-F copy-paste highlighted text in a search box.
I end up pressing Ctrl-C, Ctrl-F, Ctrl-V -> selectedText1selectedText1 0 results -> Backspace several times -> selectedText -> too many results, because selectedTextProcessor and selectedText2 are included.
This breaks workflow.
AutoHotKey script to replace ^F with ^F, ^A, Backspace is my current workaround.
Is there a way to tell intelliJ that I want conventional ^c,^f,^v behavior? For instance enable "if ^F,^V are pressed, first ^V is omitted.
No there's no way to do that. The whole point is this way is more efficient.
Your claim about "most programs" and "conventional behaviour" is spurious. Most that I use will default to searching the text on the clipboard, if there isn't already text selected in the current window.
Is there any keyboard shortcut to return cursor to highlighted search result (to edit) when using Find in Sublime Text 3 ?
It would be awesome if there is a way to achieve this without having to use the mouse.
The accepted answer (Esc) doesn't allow you keep the search results highlighted when returning to the editor, since the search box closes.
To do this, you can use ctrl+1, which is the key binding for focus_group, group: 0.
Find what you want and then just hit Esc to edit it :)
Esc
I hope that helps :)
When it is highlighted, try hitting Control + D. The cursor should move to the highlighted selection.
Here is a list of shortcuts pertaining to Sublime text search feature
In Sublime Text I can arbitrarily select a set of lines and then use ⌘+L to expand the selection to the full lines. Is there a similar command in PHPStorm / WebStorm? (I'd like to map that command to a keyboard shortcut.)
I know PHPStorm has the option "Select Line at Caret", but that selects only one line.
Update
Nowadays (welcome 2020) Go to Preferences > Keymap. Change or add the value to
Add Carets to Ends of Selected Lines => CMD+SHIFT+L to have it behave like Sublime Text so it looks like
Old Answer
This is as close as I could get it (before 2020):
Go to Preferences > Keymap. Search for Clone Caret Above/Below.
On a Mac, it looks like this
The keys are:
CMD+SHIFT+CTRL+ARROW_UP for Clone Caret Above
CMD+SHIFT+CTRL+ARROW_DOWN for Clone Caret Below
Click on Apply and it will work
With WebStorm 11 (at least) the multi-caret keyboard shortcut is:
Ctrl then Ctrl+Arrow Up (or click & drag with the middle mouse button/scroll wheel)
then to select the full lines:
Home then Shift+End
which you could even create as a macro with a keyboard shortcut.
I used to accidentally activate the multi-caret all the time (I scroll with Ctrl+Up/Down), so I knew how to do part of it, but it took me ages to figure out that extra Ctrl tap at the beginning.
Hold down Alt + Shift and left click on the lines you want to select. This will put multiple cursors on the editor. Now you can use the Select Line at Caret option you mentioned to select all those lines.
You can find more about multiple selections here.
This is currently not possible with a selection. However, you can still do that from the keyboard. Instead of doing selections set up a shortcut for Clone Caret Above (Alt+Shift+U for me) and Clone Caret Bellow (Alt+Shift+D for me). This allows to go up or down a line and add a caret there. So instead of selecting each line, you directly move the caret there and clone it.
I am also coming from Sublime Text and missing that feature, but this worked also pretty well.
In Sublime Text 2, you can multiselect the next occurrence of a word with Command+D (on Macs, Ctrl+D on Windows). Is there a way to explicitly deselect an occurrence of a word?
Note: I know you can use Command+K, Command+D to skip an occurrence of a multiselect. The problem is that this command automatically still highlights the next occurrence of the word. I'm looking for a shortcut that simply deselects the last selection.
To deselect the last occurrence selected with ⌘ + D try using:
On Mac: ⌘ + U
On Windows: Control + U
Update: Confirmed this works on Sublime v3 & v4+
Try the following keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl+u
...or you can go the Edit -> Undo Selection -> Soft Undo
On Mac you can deselect any occurrence by using cmd+alt+shift+left mouse button
I have not found the similar shortcut for Windows yet.
On Linux and Windows, using the mouse:
To remove a selection from the multiple selection: Shift+Alt+RIGHT Mouse Button
To add a new selection to the multiple selection: Shift+Ctrl+RIGHT Mouse Button
To add a new cursor to multiple selection: Ctrl+LEFT Mouse Button
You may drag the mouse over what you need to deselect.
If you drag in the middle of a longer selection, you may end up with two new fragments of it selected that are separated by the area that you dragged the mouse over. Thus, sometimes by removing a selection you may create two new ones before and after.
Works in Sublime Text 3 as well.
