I would want vim to leave insert mode if the last key pressed is a } and no other key has been pressed for a while. Is this possible?
Adding a :timer command is still on the Vim TODO list.
If you want to vote for Vim features, you have to become a registered Vim user or sponsor. See the sponsor page.
Not sure it's worth it, but I think you should be able to do a workaround with info linked below. Notice that the particular keycodes in main tip need to be changed in latest versions of Vim:

How to I access previous yanks in IdeaVim (I am using PyCharm but probably IdeaVim is the same for every JetBrains product, like IntelliJ IDEA)?
For instance, if I copy one line and then I delete something, I am not able to paste the previous line that was yanked. I am sure that there is a way to circumvent this.
Vim yanks the deleted text into the default register. To avoid this you should delete text into the blackhole register using. "_d. You can create additional mappings for convenience like nmap d "_d.
More about registers: https://www.brianstorti.com/vim-registers/
Additional option - use ReplaceWithRegister plugin of IdeaVim: https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim#emulated-vim-plugins.
At the moment it's available in the EAP version and it will be released soon.
Is it possible to disable vim in certain windows/modes? For instance in debugger it's a bit annoying, also when editing cell values in Database mode it's not perfect.
Another question if a tab can switch to command mode when I'm about to navigate to another tab.
Thanks
It's currently not possible in IdeaVim 0.50. There is a feature request that partially covers what you're describing: VIM-765 Option to disable plugin in dialog boxes. Feel free to vote for this feature and/or file new requests at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/VIM.
You can remap <Tab> to gt using standard Vim mapping commands. Put them into your ~/.ideavimrc.
I've started using Gerrit recently. I see that there are shortcut keys for almost anything, but I don't see a shortcut for the "Reply..." button. Is there one?
You are looking for the a key
a : Review and publish comments
It is written at the last of shortcut list available by pressing ? key on review page.
Tested OK in version 2.12.2
Is there any way to disable keyboard shortcuts in MacVim? I mean the shortcuts like Cmd + s for example, I want to convince myself to use things like :w, but I can't do so if I can save the file using Cmd + s, you get me?
But I of course, still want to use the GUI, so is there any way to disable these, without stoping using the MacVim GUI?
Thanks for your help. BTW I made a Google search and wasn't able to find an answer.
EDIT:
Following #ChrisJohnsen's suggestion, I have already tried the following with no success:
if has('gui_running')
macmenu File.Save key=<nop>
macmenu File.Save\ As\.\.\. key=<nop>
endif
EDIT 2:
I moved the error I'm getting over to this other question: When I try to run vim in command line I get Python errors
There is no simple way to disable all of the pre-defined Mac-style keyboard shortcuts, but you can definitely change/disable any of them. The important command is :macmenu (see :help :macmenu); it lets you set the Mac-specific properties of any Vim menu item (mostly Mac-specific keyboard shortcuts and Mac-specific actions (e.g. open/save dialog boxes, window manipulations, etc.)).
macmenu File.Save key=<nop>
macmenu File.Save\ All key=<nop>
macmenu File.Save\ As\.\.\. key=<nop>
The thing is that :macmenu commands are only effective if they are in your .gvimrc file.
If you do :e $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim and search for macm, you will find the list of pre-defined shortcuts and actions. Copy the desired lines to you .gvimrc and replace key=<whatever> with key=<nop>. You can also wrap them in if has("gui_macvim") / endif if you need your .gvimrc to work on multiple platforms.
MacVim has only one "advantage" over plain Vim: it supports native Mac OS X shortcuts. If you don't want those shortcuts you might as well simply use plain Vim.
FWIW, when I switched from TextMate I, too, found after a while that these native shortcuts were an obstacle on my way to learning Vim. My solution was to focus my efforts on plain Vim. After a week in the terminal you should be able to completely disregard those shortcuts.
I'd advise you to take a little pause and think about doing things in a more appropriate order:
In the terminal, do $ vimtutor as many times as needed.
In the terminal again, use $ vim for simple tasks first then more complex tasks. There's a predictable productivity hit at the beginning but it will last only a few days/weeks.
Once you have reached your previous level of productivity, you can start to fly Vim full-time. At that point, using MacVim or GVim or plain $ vim should make no difference whatsoever.
Bonus points for not relying too much on plugins, other people's vimrcs or "distributions" like janus or spf13…
I happen to use IntelliJ Idea 10.5.2 with Scala and SBT plugins to code in Scala on an XUbuntu 11.10 system with Oracle JDK 7.
And I can't close editor tabs with Ctrl+F4 (while right-clicking on a tab shows this shortcut for closing).
Any ideas about the reason probable and a way to fix?
Looks like xfce uses Ctrl+F4 as global shortcut that gets captured before it's propagated to IntelliJ. See this page for how to change shortcuts.
Alternatively you can also change the keybindings in IntelliJ. Use 'File|Settings' and got to 'Keymap' in the settings window. The 'close' action is bound to Ctrl+F4
Adding a new answer to this old question as duckduckgo brought me here. This shortcut can be edited quite easily on any version of Xfce (4) which has the Settings Editor app (tested on XUbuntu 18.04).
Launch Settings editor, and on the left column (channel) select xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts. Now on the right find any entry with the value <Primary>F? (primary means ctrl). Some entries can be deleted by pressing the reset button (the ones under xfwm4->custom). While you are at it, you might want to remove all the <Alt>F? bindings too (except Alt+F4).
The entries under xfwm4->default cannot be deleted, but the trick here is to edit the entry and remove any value.
I've read that this was editable in previous versions, but the value was in a text file somewhere (just sharing this in case anyone is using an older version of Xfce).
If you are using a Dell laptop where the F4 keys is used to 'mute' the sound. Muting the sound with the F4 key will disable the F4 key.
Try to unmute, function key 'fn'+F4 to unmute (lamp is not lit on key).
Then you can use CTRL+F4.
