I was using my fallback license Intellij Idea 2021 (version and build below) on a M1 macbook everything working fine, the company sent a new M2 macbook, I installed Intellij, and everything looks fine except for one little annoying thing: the Commit tool window is gone!!!

It's not appearing in the usual place, below the 'Project' tab, it also is not listed in Tool Window Menu:

IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2.4 (Ultimate Edition) - Build #IU-212.5712.43, built on December 21, 2021

I can see it in the keymap config, but when I press the shortcut NOTHING HAPPENS:

(I even added a second shortcut, but still not working)

Since I already returned the M1, I can't see the build version I was using.

What possibly happened here??

Hello,

Please check that "Use non-modal commit interface" option is enabled in "Preferences | Version Control | Commit".

On spot! Thank you!
Seems like a bug in preference sync, because I synced in the old mac and never in my life I used Idea with this check disabled.

Hi,

Please see: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-177161/Modal-commit-moved-to-a-separate-plugin-in-2025.1-Discussion

Modal commit exists in 2025.1 as a plugin.

If you are having difficulties with enabling non-modal, please check

  1. If Modal plugin is enabled in Settings | Plugins, it should be automatically bundled under "Installed", the name is "Git Modal commit Interface"
  2. In Settings | Advanced Settings, have "Use modal commit interface" enabled
  3. Make sure staging is disabled in: Settings | Version Control | Git
