I've been using Notepad++ forever but must have done something to stop Control + Spacebar from opening the intellisense (auto complete) of whatever language I am busy with. Anyone know what might be causing this?
Check the "Shortcut Mapper" on the "Settings" menu
"Function Completion" should be mapped to "Ctrl + Space"
Just re-installed Notepad++ and it worked. Thanks for all the suggestions though.

When working with IntelliJ on a JavaProject it shows to use alt + enter to import a class for example, but this isnt working anymore. It worked in the past, but something must have changed, -the shortcut is still set,-other shortcut would work- i cant assign alt+enter manually, although if i reset it to default it gets set to it, any ideas how to fix my problem? btw my keyboard layout is german, but i dont think it is the problem because it worked in the past, my os is win 7. edited: when i am working within the IDE and i e.g. write Arrays.toString(a); and didn't import "java.util.Arrays" yet, the IDE says: " ? java.util.Arrays? Alt+Eingabe" (Eingabe = Enter in German) so when i assign a different shortcut it works, but with Alt+Enter it doesnt thanks in advance for any help.
"Well, it means IDE doesn't see the shortcut for some reason. Probably it's already used by some other application or the operating system. – CrazyCoder 25 mins ago "
i closed all applications and it turns out that, Facebook GameRoom, running in the background, somehow is the reason the shortcut doesn't work, i have no idea why, but thats the solution
many thanks to CrazyCoder
It was working earlier but it stopped working due to unknown reason,
One workaround is Try fn+Alt+Enter
I had the same problem
and it turned out to be the keyboard language in Windows, It wasn't english,
so just make sure you are on English
On my side, culprit is some VPN software called PulseSecure
fn + Alt+Enter+Shift worked for me (credits #ketankk).
My problem solved. just try :
LEFT Alt + Enter
LEFT Alt+Enter
Looks like some languages override Right Alt behavior, at least in case of Lithuanian Left Alt is working fine with Lithuanian enabled, Right does not, when switch to English, everything is fine again. Was pulling hair to figure out why out of nowhere it stops working, thanks
In my case hint is showing Alt + Shift + Enter, but Ctrl+Shift+Enter works for some reason oO
In my case, I mapped Alt+Enter to a system shortcut (for expanding the current window) and I forgot. So it might not be another program, but your past self-sabotaging you.
I have the same issue. Alt+Insert not working while I was trying to generate getters/setters for my POJO class.
I just added another shortcut for that "Generate" operation.
If you are using Intellij Idea, you can do that by following steps:
Go to File -> Settings -> Keymap.
On the search bar appeared, search for "Generate", you will find an entry to which assigned shortcut will be Alt+Insert.
Right click on this entry and select 'Add Keyboard shorcut'.
Now, type your own shortcut that you want. In my case, I used Ctrl+Shift+G.
It worked fine and now I am using my new shortcut for Generate operation.
I had the same problem while upgrading to a new IDE version. The cause was a plugin error in new IDE version, I resolved disabling/updating that plugin.
What is the equivalent of CTRL + SLASH on german keyboards?
I know that US-Layouts got that / where the german _ is, since I used an US-Layout for some time. But CTRL + _ just collapses a method.
Just use the slash (Ctrl + /) on the numpad.
I found a solution for using the desired shortcut on Intellij Idea.
You just need to:
- click Ctrl+Alt+S to open the settings dialog box,
- choose "Keymap" from the left menu
- then search for keyword "comment".
- right click on "Comment with Block comment" and select add Keyboar Shortcuts.
- Type the shortcut you want to use and click ok.
For more details : https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.3/configuring-keyboard-shortcuts.html
I just changed Ctrl + Slash and Ctrl + Shift + Slash to Ctrl + 7 and Ctrl + Shift + 7.
Works as expected, as they are the same key on german keyboards.
Problem is Ctrl + Shift + 7 is used for bookmarking a line, so I have to override this shortcut.
As of today it is still an unresolved IDEA issue, see this
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-16116.
Defining a custom keymap seems to be the best solution.
A little late to the party, but maybe it helps someone...
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with the gnome desktop.
I frequently switch between the german and english keyboard layout.
In order to be able to use IntelliJ shortcuts with the english layout I had to change the order of the layouts in my system settings:
(gnome desktop) > settings > keyboard > Input source (top right corner)
There you find all configured input sources. I moved "english" to the top.
Now I can use all shortcuts based on the english layout, even when I switch to german. This means e.g. Ctrl + _ with the german or Ctrl + / with english layout would be line-comment in IntelliJ.
Not really an answer but I found this while googling and unfortunately had to add a custom keymap, too.
I now have it on CMD + ß. The combination is not used (which makes sense due to its QWERTZ relation). Works for me.
I just discovered that STRG(CTRL) + # works for my QWERTZ-Keyboard.
Hope it helps somebody!
It's been almost 4.5 years and I just want to share with you guys, which route I took because of only this issue (more or less). Sorry that this is not an answer in the proper stackoverflow manner.
I switched my keyboard setting to "US - International" and only use this one for everything I do nowadays. You can have the umlauts (by pressing Shift + ä and then your desired letter) on windows and macos. An all the "special keys" feel so much more natural! While you have to do finger-splits for certain characters, they use AT MAX the shift key on US layouts. Feels so much nicer to write and code like that!
I know, this is probably not what you are going to do, but I can tell you, that I find more and more people who did that and not a single one of them regretted that. Obviously that means, that you should be able to type blindly. :) At least, most keyboard I use, don't have the US layout on it. I adapted to it pretty fast though.
So basically, having the umlauts takes a tiny little bit more effort, but this is really worth it, because everything else makes so much sense on the US layout and you will get all the keymaps as they were intended to be used. Not those crappy "translations" that sometimes don't make sense, like this annoying line-comment thingy here.
Update 2021:
Compare how you write those characters on a US layout compared to whichever layout you are using. There are dramatically less keys involved in using those chars and I can write them faster and also with less wear and tear on my fingers.

I also struggle with this shortcut and could'nt find the right combination.
The only solution i found is to change to English keybord layout using Alt+Shift and then use Strg+Underscore for commenting and back to german layout Alt+Shift.
This helps for the moment. Hope for a better solution.
I solved this by changing the shortcut. You can do this the following way:
In Android Studio in the top menu, click on Android
Studio->Preferences...
A new window pops up, in the side menu of it select Keymap. Now
you see a list. Click on Main menu -> Code -> Comment with
Line Comment (doubleclick) -> add keyboard shortcut.
A small window pops up. You can now simply press the shortcut you
prefer and click ok.
Don't forget to save your changes by clicking OK or Apply.
The configured shortcut should work immediately.
Copying over a solution I found in one of the comments in Jetbrain's bug tracker (see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-216#focus=Comments-27-4838035.0-0 )
[...]
I found the plugin "Keyboard Nationalizer". Install the Plugin, restart IntelliJ and execute the Action "Generate National Keymap" - that's it.
After generating a German layout, the shortcuts can be used again
If you are on macOS (MacBook, ...) and have a German keyboard you can make the command + / keymap work like this:
Step 1 - macOS settings
Disable the "Hilfemenü anzeigen" ("Open the Help menu") shortcut in the keyboard settings of macOS:
Step 2 - IDEA settings
In the keymap preferences of IntelliJ IDEA (or Android Studio) add the keymap shift + command + 7 for "Comment with Line Comment". Note: I used the "macOS" keymap settings as the basis, and adding a keymap will create your personal copy of the settings.
Now it should work the same way as in Visual Studio Code for example.
In my current version of IDEA v.20221.1.4 there is an option "Use national layouts for shortcuts (require restart)". Activate it, nothing changed.
Then I check the documents of IDEA, it says you need to install the "Keymap Nationalized" plugin to use it. Deatails about this plugin can be found here: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14625-keymap-nationalizer
After install this plugin in IDEA. Double click "Shift" button in IDEA, the "search every" windows will be opened. Find the setting for Keymap Nationalized plugin. Now you can choose the language for the keymap. You will see new keymaps were added, for example there is a new keymap for the Comment with line added.
For MacBook Pro & Air, command + shift + 7 works fine in Visual Studio Code.
If you have a numpad, try using command + /(from the numpad). It worked for me.
I know this is stupid question but I'm always! mistakenly using this f.king short cut and IDE locks. So, I cannot click anything in the IDE.
I searched the Internet as well as http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/docs/IntelliJIDEA_ReferenceCard_Mac.pdf but didn't find what it is and how to escape. Currently I'm closing the IDE and rerun it. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.
According to the default keymap sheet it doesn't actually do anything.
There might be a conflict with the OS default to minimise the window which is causing the application to lock.
I'm running IntelliJ 13 Ultimate on Mavericks. Mine says it's supposed to Minimize the window.
In the interest of SCIENCE, I pressed Command-M. Sure enough, it locked up my IDE. I had to kill it to continue working.
As of now I am pressing alt + enter per intention fix in my source code.
Sometimes I have a lot of the same issues in a file and I'm wondering if a quick fix can be done for a whole package or source file.

Thanks
There should be a "fix all" option in the sub-menu (if you're navigating via keyboard, just press the "right" arrow key to get the sub-menu then select the fix all option).
Something I liked in Visual Studio was that I could click an opening tag, say and it would do its best to highlight in bold the closing tag. Does anyone know if you can do that in textmate? I searched an looked but cannot find it.
It gets hard to find the closing tag many DIVs deep.
If TextMate won't do it, can anyone tell me an editor on Mac that will?
Thank you for any help.
EDIT: If it can do it, can someone please tell me how? Thanks again.
Install the experimental bundle - and look for the "Select Balanced Tags" macro (Shift-Command-B)
Whenever you transverse with your keyboard or mouse the closing tag, TM will flash you the opening one.
But I think the reverse it's not possible (or at least, haven't found a way to work it like that)
