I moved to Lion 2 months ago, and since then I sometimes encounter that a TextMate keyboard shortcut doesn't work anymore (which means: nothing happens), and then, after a restart of TextMate, it works again.
This time, it was CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + DOWN, which should trigger Cucumber's Go to current step command. After restart of TM, it worked again. I also experienced this with CMD+SHIFT+7 (which results in Cmd-/ on my swiss layout) for commenting out lines.
Any idea about what's the problem? As I mentioned in a previous post, for the commenting out shortcut it finally happened to be the application Skitch sometimes which blocks this commend and prevents it from being sent to TM. But this doesn't have to do with the restart scenario I have now.
Anyway, it would be nice to have OSX display some info box whenever a keyboard shortcut is pressed which tells what exactly was executed, so e.g. when pressing CMD+S it would tell "Save Document", or CMD+SHIFT+3 "Take Screenshot", etc., so you'd always know what was triggered and don't have to think a shortcut ended up in Nirvana... Maybe there is some application or OSX extensions that does this?
I've found that when this happens, there's a background process going on that is, for some reason, disabling some or all of your keyboard shortcuts. I also found that it's very easily remedied by typing Command-. (period) which tells TextMate to cancel the running background task.
Try it next time it happens and see if that doesn't at least ameliorate the problem. Fixing it would require figuring out what background task is getting wedged and either fixing or eliminating it.

As the title suggests, my touchpad won't move my mouse. I am therefore unable to select outputs of my commands, but I am able to take screenshots of windows. (Luckily I am used to using keyboard shortcuts)
I have no clue what caused this. I have recently updated my kernel from linux52 to linux53 and linux54. Falling back to either of those versions from linux54 hasn't helped. I have also recently been playing around with a Wacom tablet, using xsetwacom, but I believe my mouse has worked after this.
I know it's not a hardware issue, as libinput debug-events correctly detects my finger running over the trackpad:
The output of 40-libinput.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf is the following. I can't see any error there.
I tried blacklisting the i2c_hid, as suggested in the following question, but to no avail. It fixed an error claiming there was a duplicate mouse, which it decided to ignore. I thought this would help.
What is surprising is that I can click. I can't scroll or move the mouse, though. My trackpad lists the following settings. To my surprise, there is no Accel Speed there, and I can't manually set it with xinput --set-prop 14 'libinput Accel Speed' 1.0, as I need to specify the type and format. I don't know what these are supposed to be, and I don't know if the acceleration is the issue. I read that having a negative value would cause the mouse to never move, though.
Do you have any suggestions as to what to do? What does libinput do with the events after receiving them?
EDIT: Removing the blacklist i2c_hid from the modprobe returns the following Xorg log:
Making a copy of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf into my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder, and commenting out the Option "Ignore" "on" line fixed it.
Had to sudo pkill X after changing it, of course. A reboot would also do the trick.
I have a bug which is completely over the planet. IntellIJ doesn't display. It's on, yet doesn't display.
It worked well before, last thing I did was re-setting up new dependencies on my code and (nothing to do with that) re-setting SDK for other reasons, both of which shouldn't be linked to display properties.
As you can see it's working, I see the pop up windows:
But doesn't display:
Yet I can see IntelliJ windows with Shift + Tab:
and yes, my screen doesn't duplicate, so it's not hidden in another dimension or something
I tried:
restart computer
uninstall install IntelliJ
uninstall install IntelliJ without previous parameters
try other JetBrains software, like DataGrip, it works and displays well
call a homeopathic doctor
Unsuccessfully. So I knee and await before your judgement of this critical situation.
I have this exact same behavior happen to me when I use IntelliJ at work and then go home and try to use it via Remote Desktop. Its very strange (regardless of which monitor I leave it on at work when I leave).
If I hover over it in the task bar and then hover over the thumbnail for the running app, I can right click and tell it to maximize and it magically comes back into focus. Sometimes I have to tell it to restore and then to maximize before this works.
Occasionally even this doesn't work and I have to close it, re-open, and do the same. It makes no sense, so I understand your frustration.
It works
As John Humphreys - w00te mentionned, click right over the thumbnail (I insist: the thumbnail ! Not the taskbar icon) and then select maximize and voilà.
Bon appétit.
Thanks for your contribution and I hope it will help some people in need here.
I have had this issue when I have moved from a dual monitor setup to a single monitor setup or a different dual monitor set up. The issue here that intellij window seems to save and use the coordinates of the last dual window setup to render the window. It doesn't matter you restart your computer, it will always try and render to that position, even if that position is not visible on the new monitor set up. On windows there is an easy way to fix this issue. Go to your display setting and flip the order of the windows. The intellij window should now be visible. you can drag the window to the your other monitor and re-arrange the windows back to the order you had previously. After that, you can place the intellij window wherever you want.
In my case I noticed there is a 1 pixel thick gray line on my screen, turns out that was the IDEA window and I could resize upon hovering that line. Needless to say it wasn't me shrinking it.
I have this same behavior, It happens to me when I connect a monitor in extended mode and move the intellij window to the monitor, then disconnect without moving it back. No other solution other than to connect to monitor again and bring it back to the original window for me works.
On mac, select the app from the app tray so that the menu for it appears up top. Then on the menu up top, go to Windows->Zoom and it should expand to fill the viewport.
From there you can drag it down to size and reposition.
I'm new to intelliJ and sometimes like to use the "tool tips" (or whatever the kids are calling it these days - the thing that pops up when your mouse hovers over it) to find out what the different buttons do.
Annoyingly, sometimes i have to wait more than a heartbeat for the tool tip to appear. Is it possible to edit the speed with which said tips appear in intelliJ when I hover my mouse over a tool-tip-enabled item?
EDIT i am running 12.0.1 - one solution below is for 12.1.3+ (as noted in the comments), any ideas for below 12.1.3
There is a setting in the Settings window.
Edit
This seems to be available from version 12.1.3 only.
You can although edit the idea.vmoptions file and add a line like this at the end:
-Dide.tooltip.initialDelay=200
This makes the tooltip appear much faster (at least in some areas). Try by hovering on a tab in the editor pane. It will pop up very fast. Then close IntelliJ and change the value to 20000 and try again. As you will notice it will take 20 seconds (as expected).
For example try hovering over buttons as you describe in your question. By setting the delay to a very low value the tooltip appears immediately.
I was working on a Windows app today, when my errors were no longer being displayed as they usually would. Instead, the debugger just jumps out of the method. The output window makes a note of the exception, but the usual popup trace does not appear.
It works in other projects, and I have put Dim i as Integer = "A" as my first line to try and raise an error, but it just exits the sub on that line.
Any ideas how I get it back?
There is a bug in the interaction between the debugger and the 64-bit version of Windows 7 that strikes in the Load event. An exception is trapped and swallowed by Windows, the debugger never gets a chance to detect that it was unhandled. The only thing you'll see is a "first chance" notification in the Output window. The Load event handler will immediately terminate and your program keeps running as though nothing happened, assuming that it didn't bypass a critical piece of initialization code. This bug has been around for a long time and is well known to Microsoft, apparently it is difficult to fix.
You can work around this bug with Project + Properties, Compile tab, scroll down, Advanced Compile Options button. Change the Target CPU setting to "AnyCPU". Another way to trap it is with Debug + Exceptions, tick the Thrown checkbox on CLR Exceptions. Yet another workaround is to put initialization code in the constructor instead of OnLoad() or the Load event. You only really need Load when you need to know the actual size of the window.
This bug will only strike when you debug. It won't happen on your user's machine.
UPDATE: I expanded a great deal on this mishap in this post.
Under the Debug->Exceptions check that the Common Language Runtime exceptions are checked.
Has your .suo file been deleted by any chance (this is the file that stores your personal state of the solution, your settings, what is expanded / collapsed). You will only really spot this if you suddenly noticed that you had to hit "collapse all" because it had forgotten, it will recreate this when you open the solution, but will do it with default settings.
If so, hit CTRL + ALT + E and re-tick the break on exceptions tick boxes for CLR exceptions.
I often switch between editors in intellJ with Ctrl-Tab and at the same time I accidentally move the mouse (which is sometimes over the switcher), which means I end up choosing a random editor rather than the one I wanted.
Is there any way I can prevent the switcher from reacting to mouse input?
What OS and IDEA version do you use? I've tested with IDEA 10 on Windows and mouse events do not affect the Ctrl+Tab window at all.
If it still happens for you in the latest IDEA version, please file a bug with the steps to reproduce at: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/IDEA.
It's a known bug in IDEA versions before IDEA 10.
