Also I've disabled some Mac specific shortcuts to get a Windows-like IDEA keymap. And those people want primary identical IDE behavior on every platform because you can't expect the vice versa case. Indeed there are people who use their IDE more than the OS (Set) specific shortcuts and functions. To make the job even tougher, the function keys are, by default, pre-assigned to system functions.Īnd therefore you can choose between different keymaps! Different people different flavors. The same keystroke closes the active window in every single application. The same keystroke brings up preferences in every single application. On Windows and Linux no one expects or relies on consistency. The problem is that the Mac has many, many keystrokes that are consistent across applications. Sure, it wouldn't be "native" on any platform but it would be native for IDEA which is for many people the main app on their computer. Actually I want one single "Cross-platform Meta keymap" which don't use any platform specific keys such as the "Insert" key. So as of now we have two Mac keymaps would you please keep the classic Mac keymap more Win-like. The point is: I want to have the (almost) same keymap for at least two OSs (Mac+Win)! I'm even willing to use Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Option+S instead of the default Mac-wide Cmd+, shortcut to call the settings window. In fact there is no insert key on a Macbook Pro! Also the Windows keymap is much more similar to the Linux keymap(?) as I'm also using Linux from time to time. Originally I wanted to use the Windows keymap on my Mac but faced the "Insert" key problem. I think many people are using IDEA in such a context. Great approach! I'm working with IDEA both at work (Windows) and privately (Mac) and so I've to remember both keymap variants. This message has one or more attachments. I've attached the updated reference/cheatsheet PDF that you can print, for = Pen IDE Settings | Keymap and select the " Mac OS X 10.5+" schema from t= Lay/IDEADEV/Maia+EAP, though it is not set by default now. Less conflicts with the default system key bindings, such as Expos=C3=A9= More native key combinations for standard actions (e.g. I want to introduce here a new keymap scheme that we created recently for M=ġ. I'm using the new keymap now and will let you know how it goes. Thanks a lot for that, very good idea in fact!
