IDEA Escape used in different context, mostly meaning stop input or action. Because, my MacBook keyboard doesn’t have delete button, only backspace. For long sentences it’s faster than arrows.Ĭ-c - prefix, reserved for Code mode C-d - delete character (forward) “A” is always beginning of something, line in this case. This category exposes basic keybindings for navigating and editing text.
( C-a means press “A” while holding Control key) Basic hotkeys (C- prefix)īasic hotkeys triggered with Control prefix. It took approximately two weeks to get used to new keyboard mapping.īelow, I list all hotkeys. This may sound strange configuration, but for me it works like a charm. Then Control-IJKL become normal arrows, Control-H as a backspace (hello Emacs users),Ĭontrol-M and Control-N work in pair as a horizontal Enter, and the same way Control- work like Escape.Īlso, I don’t use right Command, so it also became Control, now you can use arrows with one hand while… eating or so. Shortly, CapsLock remapped to Control (do you know people who use CapsLock?), I remapped most of this keys, and happy so far. I can continue ranting about non-consistent sound from different keypresses, Greedy backspace, which steal all your home row attention if you want just delete a char. Ironically, Escape button escaped to virtual world, so you can’t get tactile feedback from it.Īpple provided a discount, so you got four arrows in the price place of three. Really, I find MacOS still the best system for people and devs, but this new keyboard drive me crazy.
I’m a happy user of MacBook Pro 13’’ (2017). To reduce mouse interaction to minimum, while providing a simple way to remember the hotkeys. This is an attempt to develop mnemonics-based keymap (a.k.a Emacs style) for IntelliJ, Especially, if you work on the latest MacBook Pro. Even using emacs-based keymap, you will click mouse/touchpad extensively. The most annoying things in IDEA is an editor and interaction with tool windows, I mean you need mouse. IDEA has most things that missing in Emacs and still considered among many as the best IDE for Java.Įven more, Cursive extension for Clojure works really well. Well, you still can try hundred of plugins and configure exactly what you need, or try tens of prebuild emacs-basedĭistributions with batteries included, but IntelliJ IDEA just works out of the box. The bad part is it lacks rich navigation capabilities, integration with external tools, code aware completion, etc. If you can configure it, you will configure itĮmacs is keyboard-driven editor, meaning all actions you can do without mouse or touchpad.
Let’s take best from both worlds into one editor. Emacs is great for editing text, IntelliJ IDEA is great for navigation.
