Keymaps and useful shortcuts, what to do if a shortcut is not working?

CLion supports a variety of keymaps:

• IntelliJ IDEA,
• Emacs,
• Visual Studio,
• Eclipse,
• NetBeans,
• Xcode,
• ReSharper,
• VIM, etc.

Choose and use your favorite one, or tweak it and save a custom one. Go to Preferences/Settings | Appearance and Behavior | Keymap to manage keymaps, or just press Ctrl+` to quickly switch the scheme.

If a shortcut is not working for you, before reporting the error to our tracker please rule out the following possibilities:

• The CLion shortcut conflicts with some system shortcut, and pressing it in the IDE does something different from the expected behavior.
• You are trying a shortcut that differs from the current keymap set.

If the problem persists, please report the issue to our tracker.
