Cannot Edit any Files Follow
Answered
Good Morning
I installed IntelliJ IDEA 15 on OSX these days (including studing license) but I seems that I cannot edit any files. When I hit the J or K keys, I can navigate up and down. I'll try to run a Play 2 app, and running is not even a problem. Starts up without any problems...
The read-only mode isnt toggled in IntelliJ and Files are all editable with other editors like VI, Atom
Any hints on this issue?

Solution found: Removed Vim Emulator Mode *facepalm*
WOW! I was having the same issue and removing the emulator worked. Why is that? Forgive my ignorance. I am a vim user on *nix systems. I understand the plug-in is supposed to facilitate JAVA project editing. And I was able to use vim commands in the terminal window. Does the plug-in supersede the functionality in the editor window as a feature or a bug? And whose 'bug' is it - JetBrains or the developer of the plug-in?

Thanks Philippe.
Had the same problem on Mac OS X 10.11.5 with IntelliJ Ultimate 2016.2.
Go to Main Menu > Preferences > Search for "Vim Emulator Mode" > Remove/Delete > Restart Intellij
Thanks Philippe!!!
I had this issue on my MAC 10.12.6 with IntelliJ Community Edition 2017.2.
Go to Tools Menu > Click on VIM Emulator to disable it. I was able to edit the file again w/o any restart.
I had the same issue on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 with webstrom 2018.1. Unchecked the VIM Emulator in Tools menu without restart solved the issue
Thank you guys for the solution!!!
Lekker! Same here - Remove VIM Emulator
