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.

I try to find a way to do the following steps in InteliJ by using only keyboard:
alt+ F1 --> F
Currently I'm clicking CTRL + Left Mouse to choose clean and install.
Is there a way to do this just by using the keyboard?
Thanks for any help.
If you are looking for existing shourtcut or tring to add a new one on intellij, the best thing to do is to check the key map.
the KeyMap is located in File|Settings for windows and linux or IntelliJ IDEA|Preferences for macOS (Ctrl+alt+S is good too) and then look for the KeyMap tab and search "maven".
I am using IdeaVim in Intellij as I can't really get over modular editing. But there are times when I just want it completely disabled (like when a coworker shows me something on my computer).
I know it can be disabled through the plugin manager by unchecking the enabled box, but this does not really cut it for me in many cases as it is too slow and disruptive for quick.
What would be nice to have is to make some keyboard shortcut to disable and enable the plugin so that I can easily switch between the modes. Is there a way to do this so that I don't have to restart Intellij for the changes to apply?
(Keeping vim in insert mode would not work in my case as it jumps to command mode at times for no reason)
Vim emulation can be disabled via Tools | Vim Emulator. There is already assigned shortcut, but it conflicts with some of IDE shortcuts and will be removed in the next release. You can assign your own shortcut using regular IDE mapping.
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.
I would love to just replicate the same hot keys as I'm used to in WebStorm and IntelliJ, Android Studio, but just in a text editor.
Anyone knows if there is a project open source or not for this?
You can do this for both Atom and Sublime. You'll have to change the default keybindings for either editor but this is easy to do.
For Atom here is a link that will show you how to change the default keybindings to intellij.
For Sublime, this link contains the intellij keybindings.
If you want to use another IDE's keybindings besides intellij, just google sublime <IDE that you want> keybinding map.
I hope that helps!
Take a look at Visual Studio Code. It's a great editor with loads of available extensions. You'll be able to configure the key bindings yourself or install something like IntelliJ IDEA Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code.
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
