Intellij IdeaVim change keys
If you like to have Vim plugin installed (I find it very handy for typing) and at the same time have Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V working for copy and paste actions, do the following:
In the IntelliJ Idea, click on File
> Setting
. On the left pane, expand Editor
and click on Vim Emulation
.
Here, under the Shortcut
column, find Ctrl+C and change it's Handler (under Handler
column) to IDE
instead of Vim
.
Repeat it for Ctrl+V as well and hit Apply
and Ok
.
Now, you should be able to use the keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste while keeping the Vim Emulator enabled.
I've done this myself, and its pretty easy in IntelliJ 11. I know that in previous versions (9, maybe?) setting up keymap values is significantly different.
In IntelliJ 11 you can do the following:
- Go to
Settings
- Select
Keymap
from the left menu - Search for
Exit Insert Mode
on the right side and associate whatever key you want to use, such as CTRL-C
As of IdeaVim 0.35 (released 2014-05-15), key mappings in ~/.ideavimrc
are supported. You can put source ~/.vimrc
in that file if you want to include mappings from ~/.vimrc
.
