Format code and Ubuntu

Hi.
I'm running IntelliJ 7.0.2 on Ubuntu 7.10
When trying to format my code with CTRL + ALT + L , Ubuntu locks the system (it seems that this buttons combination is reserved for Ubuntu).
I tried to format the code via the main menu, but I got an empty dialog box.
Any ideas?

Hello Hussein,

When trying to format my code with CTRL + ALT + L , Ubuntu locks the
system (it seems that this buttons combination is reserved for
Ubuntu).


You could remap IDEA action to a free shortcut. I tried AltShiftL, seems
to be working.

I tried to format the code via the main menu, but I got an empty
dialog box.


Hm, I do not see this effect. Ubuntu 6.06, GNOME and KDE.

Alexander.

1. You can either remap your keyboard settings in IntelliJ or change them in Ubuntu. To change the Lock Screen keyboard shortcut, go to System/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts and edit the "Lock Screen" settings.

2. You probably need to turn off additional special effects in the UI. Go to System/Preferences/Appearance/Visual Effects and choose "None". This solved my empty dialog problems.

"CTRL + ALT + L" is Ubuntu Lock screen shortcut key so its not working for this.

Try ,

Right click on the folder you like to reformat, choose "Reformat code" from the menu or click "Code" button on navigation bar in top, choose "Reformat code"

Thank you
