On Mac, many dialogs work only with ^X, ^C, ^V instead of cmd-X, cmd-C, cmd-V.

Example: Debugger Cofigurations window.

which keymap do you use?

[ Permlink | « Hide ]

Dave Yost - 05 Apr 07 19:34

Mac OS X

When I filter for keystroke ^C in the Keymap dialog it comes up with nothing.

Apple recommends this code, which is portable and which solves the problem i am reporting.

JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("Copy");
int mask = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask();
KeyStroke keyStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_C, mask);
menuItem.setAccelerator(keyStroke);

I have the same problem on Mac OS C 10.4.10 + Java 1.5.0_07 + Idea #7361 + Mac OS keymap.

E.g if I copy text via cmd-C, then I have to paste it in the textbox of "Find" dialog only by pressing ^V (cmd-v doesn't work). But in IDEA's text editor window all is ok.

I've changed Look and Feel to Mac OS(the previous was Allow) one and now all is ok.

This does work with OS X theme only if using Command-C Command-V, but if you want to use the Alloy theme on Mac you get mixed key binding across dialogs.

I use the Alloy theme also, for performance reasons and also suffer because I have to remember ^V (not cmd-v) only in popup dialogs. Is there anything that can be done? The Mac OS L&F makes IntelliJ sluggish.

Hello.
On Mac OS C 10.5.4 I'm using:

Diana#8526
theme Mac Os X
keymap Mac Os X

and still have the same problem:
Replace in path: expected - Command-Shift-R, actual Ctrl-Shift-R

I should have said I'm using Sand or Alloy or the like, but I want the Mac keybindings. This seems to be hard to do, but it should be made easy to do.
