Intellij-idea: Using Eclipse Keymap on Mac OS X

When using IntelliJ with the Eclipse Keymap, all the shortcuts are set to use Ctrl, instead of Command. Just like Eclipse on Windows.

Is there a way to use the same keys as the Mac version of Eclipse?

You've already got it installed but just don't know it. There is a trick to this.

In IntelliJ Preferences, Under Keymap: Click the dropdown Menu. Secretly, JetBrains designed it as a scrolling menu which lacks a scroll bar until you actually scroll it (deceptive). Hover your mouse over the menu and scroll it down to find an Eclipse (Mac) variant, among others. On my Mac, i cannot even use my keyboard to scroll this menu, it must be the mouse.

Scrollable Keymap List Has More Options Underneath

This was actually already answered in https://stackoverflow.com/a/9115464/223855. You can find a link to an "Eclipse on Mac" keymap xml file there.

If you go Preferences->(IDE Settings) Keymap, from here you should see a drop down for Keymaps which will allow you to select "Mac OS X" to switch over to using Command instead. At least this is an option for IntelliJ 11.1.2.

Just make a copy of the Ecplipse key map (in IDEA) then exit IDEA. Then modify the newly created xml file in your config\keymaps directory with search replace in a text editor replacing "control" whatever Command's text string is, "command"? (I don't have a mac).

You can get commands text by modifying one keystroke in the copied keymap to use command.

Hope it helps.
