IntelliJ Idea Ctrl+Alt+Left shortcut doesn't w

问题:

I am using IntelliJ Idea 2017.3 latest release in Ubuntu 2017.10 and shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right doesn't work.

Whereas from menu Navigate -> Back/Forward works fine.

Ubuntu binds this key combination to Switch Workspace. Starting from Ubuntu 18.04, you need to use the command line to change the shortcut (source). To remove the offending shortcuts completely, allowing IntelliJ to use them, these commands worked for me:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "[]"

If you ever want to restore the shortcuts, use:

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right

I just found out that my IDEA 2018.3 in Ubuntu 18.04 automatically uses default for GNOME keymap, and the Back/Forward shotcut turns out to be Alt + Shift + Left/Right, no need to change any system settings.

回答3:

Ubuntu has a shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right to navigate between workspaces. When i changed it under system settings, IDE is able to pick up the shortcut.

回答4:

The right setting is combinations of already posted answers. To sum up:

1. Remove key bindings of Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left to GNOME enviroment

In terminal run:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "[]"

2. Assigne the bindings to Forward / Back actions in Idea IntelliJ

If you use Keymap setting based on GNOME keymap the defaults for Forward / Back actions are not Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left. It must be setted.

In Idea IntelliJ menu

File | Settings | Keymap 

search for

Main menu - Navigate - Forward

click on edit shortcuts and set it to Ctrl+Alt+Right

then search for

Main menu - Navigate - Back

click on edit shortcuts and set it to Ctrl+Alt+Left

Works on versions: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Idea IntelliJ 2019.2.3

回答5:

Ctrl + Windows Key + Alt + Left/Right worked on my Linux Fedora 22.

回答6:

I'm using ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

1. Go to System Settings -> Text Entry -> Keyboard Settings (bottom right of the screen).

2. On the keyboard dialog, click on Navigation tab. Then scroll down to "switch to workspace left" and select it and click backspace to disable it.

Your android studio shortcut should work now.

The solution by @lászló-van-den-hoek here was correct, but I had to take one more step.

Go to File | Settings | Keymap in Intellij and change the Keymap from Default for GNOME to Default.

I think this has been tripping people up since Ubuntu switched from Unity desktop to a GNOME based desktop, and now Intellij is starting up with GNOME appropriate hotkeys.

回答8:

In Ubuntu System settings you have to either desible shortcut for Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right or use Ctrl + Windows Key + Alt + Left/Right

回答9:

Ctrl + Windows + Left/Right ; Ubuntu 20.04, IDEA: 2020.1, works for me

回答10:

My Gnome was configured to CTRL+ALT+left or right and I don't why but it moved to CTRL+ALT+Up or down. Workspaces were aligned horizontally and they changed to be vertical. I don't what I did to get this! Maybe the same thing happened to you...

I am fine with that, it changes a lit bit my desktop, changes are good some times...

I advice you to install the extension Workspace to dock which is very cool ;)
