Keyboard locks in IntelliJ IDEA on Ubuntu 14.04
There is a an open issue in jetbrains youtrack for intellij idea that recommend two solutions:
Keyboard input may be unlocked by restarting IBus daemon from a console:
ibus-daemon -rd
IBus can be disabled for IDEA by unsetting env. variable XMODIFIERS, but ability to input national characters in IDEA will be lost:
XMODIFIERS="" idea.sh
I have used the second one and fixed my problem.
I was able to solve it with what I found here that is basically adding export XMODIFIERS=""
on idea.sh
- Temporary solution: simply execute
ibus-daemon -rd
on the terminal. - Permanent solution: the 01 Oct 2015 update on the issue recommends to:
Either upgrade IBus to version 1.5.11 or add
export IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE=1
to your~/.profile
, then restart a session.Alternatively, you can turn off IBus at
System Settings | Language Support | Keyboard input method
.
IDEA 15 will show a warning if an incompatible version of IBus is in use.
