IntelliJ IDEA 14 Copy and Paste not working with other applications
I have found the best solution yet (for me in any case). I have tried everything! Including adding and removing Keymap options. And this is actually where the problem lies...sort of.
When you have the Vim plugin installed, Ctrl + c
and Ctrl + v
is allocated to Vim.
To change that, go to Setting>>Other Settings>>Vim Emulation and set the Handler to IDE. Apply and OK, and Voila!
My solution (thanks to a similar issue reported with Android Studio) was to run IntelliJ as an admin.
Steps to always run IntelliJ in admin mode:
- Right-click on IntelliJ icon in start menu search (or wherever you started it) -> Open file location
- Right-click IntelliJ shortcut -> Open file location (yes, again to get to the .exe, not the shortcut.)
- Right-click idea.exe -> Properties
- Compatibility tab -> check Run this program as an Administrator
- Right-click idea64.exe -> Properties (if you run IntelliJ in 64 bit mode)
- Compatibility tab -> check Run this program as an Administrator
