Intellij starts with insert key on - intellij-idea

i have moved to intellij 14 (using centos 7).
Each time that i open a file using intellij, it opens it when the 'insert' key is pressed.
how do i change it? can it be a problem with the centos? (when opening a new gedit document it appears to be ok)
thank you

The problem was the ideaVim intellij plugin.
after disabling it, the problem was solved and the 'tab' key started working for multiple lines selection.
Intellij 14 weird editor/cursor behaviour
cheers

Disable the ideaVim plugin worked for me. Ctrl+Alt+S opens up Settings/preferences dialog box, uncheck the ideaVim plugin

IntelliJ IDEA: how to disable projects opening as tabs on macOS?

No idea since when this was introduced but recently updated to Monterey and it started to appear.
How can I disable it? I prefer one editor per workspace. The new way conflicts with normal tab switching.
Either disable it globally in macOS system settings, or disable it for IntelliJ IDEA only by adding ide.mac.bigsur.window.with.tabs.enabled=false in Help | Edit Custom Properties (IDE restart is required).

IntelliJ or WebStorm keymaps don't work in Debian 9

I installed WebStorm and IntelliJ plugin for it.
I can't use any shortcuts in WebStorm such as Ctrl+Alt+S for settings.
I double-check that VIM-Emulator is enabled in Tools → VIM-Emulator and looked in Editor → Vim-Emulation tab, and change shortcuts what i need to VIM. Nothing happens even after restarting WebStorm and nothing after change handler to IDE also.
Reinstalling IntelliJ plugin give zero effect.
Please help. I need my shortcuts from Windows such as Ctrl+C
Please make sure that
Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in your current keymap selected in Settings | Keymap mean Copy and Paste
You don't have any key mappings in your ~/.vimrc
Handlers for conflicted Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are set to IDE in Settings | Editor | Vim Emulation

Switching between Terminal tabs in IntelliJ IDEA

Got several Terminal tabs in IDE. If i right-click any of them i see that i can switch between tabs using Alt+Right and Alt+Left:
However, these combinations don't seem to work. Using IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3 Community Edition
P.S. Switching between editor tabs works fine with the same combinations.
It's a known bug in 2018.3 release, it will be fixed in 2018.3.1 update.
As a workaround you can disable the option to override IDE shortcuts.

Make IntelliJ key mappings take precedence over IdeaVim

Ctrl-E in IntelliJ opens Recent Files Dialog.
Ctrl-E in IdeaVim (and in vim) scrolls window downwards.
How to make Ctl-E to open Recent Files Dialog when IdeaVim plugin is active?
You can open IntelliJ Setting and select Vim Emulation.
In there, you can choose conflict shortcuts used by IDE or Vim.

IntelliJ IDEA Vim Like editing

I have installed IntelliJ 14 on Mac and I am getting an annoying issue with the text editor. It seems to be controlling in a similar way to vim. Every time I open a new file I need to press "i" on the keyboard in order to start inserting text. I would like to change it to a standard text edit mode like you would find in eclipse or any other visual text editor.
Looks like you installed the IdeaVIM plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. You can uninstall it through Settings | Plugins if you don't want to use VIM modal editing inside IntelliJ IDEA.
