Enter key mapping not working

Answered

I've just moved into a new Mac using a Time Machine backup.

Since then the Enter and Escape keys haven't been working in IDEA properly.

I can use Enter for a newline in a file, but if I do Cmd+E to show recent files I can't select an entry using Enter, I have to click with the mouse. I also can't dismiss the popup with the Esc key.

If I go to to the Keymap in Preferences and seach for mappings, hitting Enter or Esc results in ` (backquote) in the search box. Applying this as a mapping doesn't fix my problem.

I'm on IDEA 2017.3.1 

Any Ideas?

Does it work properly in other Java Swing applications like JEdit or NetBeans?

I have the exact same issue.  Reinstalling the IDE doesn't seem to work :/

After some exhaustive research, I came to this solution for this weird bug. 

Solution -- Change the keyboard input to ABC-Extended and voila :D

And how can I change that?

I can't find this in my WebStorm editor neither in my System preferences.

 

UPDATE:

File > Invalidate Caches / Restart

Fixed the issue. Still very odd though.

I have the same Problem with
IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2.5 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-182.4892.20, built on October 16, 2018
on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS


cache invalidation didn't help
it still worked a few days ago
not sure whether I made an IntelliJ update in between

only the "Search Everywhere" (double shift key) seems to be affected, other selects (e.g. Strg N for Class Name Search do work fine)

entries are selectable by mous click only

Escape key works for me

The problem should be fixed in 2018.3 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-200913

Same problem here,

I reassign it in file, setting , Select Keymap then Editor Action scroll and select enter reassign it to enter key once again and restart the program and it works for me.
