Equivalent of Ctrl-W for IntelliJ Mac

The cheatsheet says that for expanding selection I should use Ctrl-Up, but it doesn't work for me on the latest intelliJ, with Mac OS X 10.7.4

What is the equivalent of Ctrl-W for IntelliJ in Mac OS X?

Depends on Preferences | Keymap. The action is called Select Word at Caret.

  • Mac OS X keymap: CmdW (Cmd=Meta)
  • Mac OS X 10.5+ keymap: AltUp (Alt=Option=⌥)

See the official IntelliJ IDEA documentation: Select code constructs

To get all functional you can bind 2 action into Keymap[Editor Actions]:

  1. "Extend Selection" cmd+w [make more selected]
  2. "Shrink Selection" cmd+shift+w [make less selected]

It's called now Extend selection, as mentioned before by default AltUp.
