Is it possible to import IntelliJ (Version: 2018.1.3) key mappings (or all settings) in to other JetBrains IDE's specifically Rider (Version: 2018.1)?
From what I can tell this is only possible when moving settings across new installation of the same IDE.
There is an easy way to do this:
Go to -> File -> Export Settings -> choose everything and click ok to save it somewhere
This will export a .jar, that contains everything, like code highlighting, shortcuts and plugins, it is really the whole IDEA settings. Then do the same thing with import and choose the exported .jar file. Now everything should look and feel the same.
Some things to notice:
- The colouring might be different in some edge cases, as a comment from html and c# looks different. So exporting phpstorm settings to rider might look funny sometimes.
- Shortcuts also are sometimes not 100% correct, as there are some different workflows in the ideas. Like Rider uses ctrl + . for auto completion where the other ideas do it somehow different. But those are very few occasions (2-3 at max) and not very annoying.
You should just be aware of it. But other than this, exporting settings and plugins could not be easier!
Marquis Blount, yes you can do it if your keymap based on IDEA keymap with name available in Rider.

I have looked everywhere and I am still unable to switch off this 'feature'!
I've been using vi and, later, vim, since the 80's and I have never had need of multiple cursors, nor can I see a use for them.
:<range>s/search/replace/ does everything I need so this new feature is infuriating beyond words, especially as I've no idea how to switch it off when it seemingly-randomly appears.
Would someone be wonderful enough as to tell me how to banish, remove, consign-to-history the multiple cursors feature in VSCode Vim 1.12.4, please?
I believe this issue is specific to the plugin. I experienced it with the HTML plugin recently, and I'm assuming you have the same problem with HTML files, but the same principle should apply to other plugins as well. You just have to find the setting.
In the VS Code settings, there is an option that reads:
HTML: Mirror Cursor On Matching Tag
You can uncheck the box there to disable the feature. Or you can go to the settings.json in your local repo (inside the .vscode directory), or the equivalent global file, and add/modify the following field like so:
"html.mirrorCursorOnMatchingTag": false
That should take care of it for you.
The current Android Studio version has inbuilt auto save. Which means if you close a file, it will automatically save the changes.
This is inconvenient, it means when experimenting with code, all changes need to be noted as there's no option to have a dialog requesting to save changes on closing a tab or the project, as in many other ides.
According to documentation IntelliJ IDEA 15.0 Help/Saving and Reverting Changes:
When does IntelliJ IDEA auto save changed files?
Autosave is initiated by:
Compiling a project, a module or a class
Starting a run/debug configuration
Performing a version control operation such as pull, commit, push, etc.
Closing a file in the editor
Closing a project
Quitting the IDE
.../...
Note that those are optional autosave triggers, and you cannot turn off autosave completely.
These are the auto save settings that can be changed in Android Studio:
TLDR
Is there any work around to circumvent this autosave?
These questions are related, but do not acknowledge that this intended behaviour of the ide and are rather asking for fixes within the ide.

If you want to experiment, use the revert button at the top right. This works especially well if you are using a VCS (like git...) as it will revert to the last committed version. And since commits are still manual, this will soon replace your traditional save.
If you are not using a VCS the point in time to which it reverts is a little more arbitrary, but in my experience it takes a pretty good guess. If that doesn't suffice, you can use the history button next to the revert button, which keeps track of every version IntelliJ saved, and you can then go back to any point in time you like. :)
Android Studio as a software is very much based on the JetBrains software solutions such as IntelliJ (used for Java) and PHPStorm (used for PHP, as its name shows).
As a concept in itself, JetBrains have implemented this feature and as a company believe that it's much more efficient and productive than manual save. Hence, there is no way to disable this behavior or enable any confirmations in Android Studio either.
Taken from JetBrains FAQ for IntelliJ:
Because IntelliJ IDEA has the ability to change so many files simultaneously in large refactoring actions, and change them without ever opening them, single file saves don't make very much sense. In recognition of this, IntelliJ IDEA reserves the right to save any of your files literally whenever it wishes. It's actually quite nice to never have to worry about your file's save statuses, once you get used to it.
Having said that, and encountering this issue myself too as a developer, I agree that it would be a good idea if the Manual Save feature were enabled by the Android Engineers (or JetBrains themselves). After all it is up to the developer to choose whether he needs this feature or not.
To Jetbrain's defence, they have a very good Undo function through their Ctrl + Z shortcut keys, letting the developer go back many steps and find where a certain error has occured.
All IntelliJ based products nowadays save any opened or modified files whenever they wish - read this as "immediately".
I would suggest you give up on trying to disable it (trust me, it's not possible to hack it) and either change your work flow or work on copies of the files.
As background I should mention that I am a plugins author for IntelliJ (with 3 publicly released plugins in the JetBrains repository) and thus have a reasonable understanding of the internal IntelliJ architecture.
I often see that some of the ReSharper functionality just doesn't work until you restart VS and reopen the project. But this situation I have now is consistent across restarts. So I am using a Go To Everything fuctionality often. It is enabled in ReSharper settings.
But since yesterday Go To Everything (Ctrl + N for me) can't find most of the files in the project (though it can find some).
Here is a screenshot of the problem:
I have that file open in editor just to prove that it's there. I show it found in an open solution in file tree. But ReSharper doesn't seem to be able to find it.
What to I do to troubleshoot. Thanks you in advance.
The best thing to do here is to raise an issue with JetBrains. Either log a bug with the issue tracker, or email resharper-support#jetbrains.com. Include details about what version of ReSharper you're using, what type of projects you're using, version of Visual Studio, etc.
However, from that screenshot, it looks like ReSharper isn't configured to analyse that file - there's no "green tick" in the scrollbar. Is ReSharper disabled? Is that file excluded from analysis? (Mind you, even when it's excluded, it should still show up in go to results. Something odd is happening here, support should be able to help better than StackOverflow)
I just started with Visual Studio + Resharper, coming from Java development with Eclipse. I can navigate eclipse pretty quickly, because I memorized all the shortcuts I need. Now it seems like Resharper knows all what eclipse can do (probably even more), but its mapped to different keys, and i really don't feel like learning a new set of shortcuts for the same stuff.
So my question:
Where is Resharpers shortcut configuration file (if there is any)? I saw a bunch of .xml files in it's bin directory, but I'm not sure it's the right place to look. Couldn't find anything in the docs, only how to change the shortcuts from VS one-by-one.
Is there an eclipse preset? I found this on github, but there is absolutely no explanation, on what to do with it, and in the file name it states, it's for r# 5.0 and i have 8.1 (not sure if there is any difference in the configuration part).
I found this file using Google Search: https://github.com/chrismo/jetbrains.keymaps/blob/master/resharper.5.0.eclipse.shortcuts.vs2010.vssettings
You can download it and use Visual Studio's Tools -> Import and Export Settings ... command to import it.
Resharper comes with only two default keyboard schemes, 'Visual Studio' or 'IntelliJ IDEA' (see here). Choose one that you are most happy with (under Resharper->Options...->Environment->Keyboard & Menus) and change any shortcuts in Visual Studio (under Tools->Options...->Environment->Keyboard) to match the ones in Eclipse. It may be easier just to re-learn one of the default schemes though.
I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.
In an editor (xml, jsp, doesn't matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.
First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programs. Then I tried using the context menus' c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an error message when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.
For my problem, I had to go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing, and uncheck "Update imports"
This must be related to the key mapping, since those shortcuts are defined according to context.
(Column "When", in Preferences / General / Keys)
Check if those shortcuts do not work for any editor (do they work for Java editor?)
If they work for some editor, not for other, then some plugin settings must have re-affected them to another command.
This is caused by various X clipboard managers doing weird things with the clipboard. (bug report).
In XFCE the clipman applet was rolled in XFCE 4.8, and will be the source of these problems.
To fix this in XFCE - kill xfce4-settings-helper. You will need to use Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session to kill it, as otherwise it may restart automatically.
To prevent this starting next time, you will need to remove it from your startup/login programs in Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.
Problem was solved with newer Eclipse releases. I think >= 3.6. Depending on your distribution there may be a (back)port of this (not on my Xubuntu 11.04) within the repositories.
So a tarball installation of Eclipse 4.0 works perfectly for me. Cut&Paste works and I am lucky that my plugins are compatible to 4.0.
Unfortunately Sublime Text has the same problems.
I read somewhere that in KDE maybe Klipper / "Klipper on the panel" conflicts with eclipse copy action.
It's a tool for clipboard history. Try to remove that! It may solve your problem :-/
For me the xfce4-settings-helper killing worked.
Workaround:
You can cut&paste from the compare view. So simply compare the un-copyable file (e.g., local history) with a different version and Control-C what you need there.
In the *.java editor page, right click and select open in text editor. Past your snippet there. Your Snippet will show in the *.java page'
I use Eclipse Kepler for PHP development. It's dumb I know.
None of the solutions suggested here has solved this source of frustration.
I can confirm the copy function works whether shortcut keys are bound or not. As I can copy from eclipse and paste into any other application. Except eclipse.
My solution. Accidental discovery: Eclipse Kepler will allow you to paste outside the php open and close tags and allow you to click and drag the highlighted block of content into into position.
Acceptable solution for small bits of code. Horribly crippling for larger development environments.
For Xming, this resolved the problem for me. In XLaunch uncheck Clipboard (clipboard manager) in the "Specify parameter settings" GUI form.
