Alt + Enter no longer works on OS X (yosemite)

Check idea.log (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23352446) for exceptions. It can be caused by some incompatible plug-in.

Also try reinstalling from http://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIU-14.1.5-custom-jdk-bundled.dmg and disable third-party plug-ins: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/enabling-and-disabling-plugins.html .

Unfortunately there is nothing in the logs

I have tried disabling ALL plugins except Scala, still doesn't work

The link provided is for IDEA 14, which I also have installed and works fine. The issue happens only with 15 EAP

Attach idea.log from IDEA 15.

Hi Serge

I have re-enabled a bunch of plugins. I shut down my idea, deleted all the logs and did a fresh start.

Then deleted an import statement from a class, waited for the Alt + Enter popup to appear asking me to import the class. Hit Alt+Enter several times without any effect and finally closed IDEA

I have attached the resulting logfile

Try again with the following plugins disabled:

.ignore (1.2), BashSupport (1.5.1.143), NodeJS (143.110), Presentation Assistant (0.9.6), Python (5.0.142.2), Quick Notes (2.9.4), Scala (1.9.2)  

Still no luck

Attached new logfile

Did you change the keymap? What keymap do you use now?

Try to remove IDE config folder to start with the defaults: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23358108 .

Hi

I'm using standard 10.5+ mappings

I just wiped the config folder under ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea15, started IDEA. Went through the setup process and left all the default plugins enabled

I then opened a Java project and tried it out. Still not working :(

Try the next EAP what it's available. Something may be broken in this build, but I don't recall similar reports.

I'll check out the next build and report. However without actually using EAP 15 I may not notice when the next build goes out. I'd appreciate, if you remember, if you could post in this thread so I get an email alert

I'll go back to 14 in the meantime

Thanks

Hello Serge

I have found what was causing it, but it somehow doesn't affect IDEA 14, whereas it affects IDEA 15

I have added the "Unicode Hex Input" as one of my keyboard mappings to type some special characters every now and again. If I have this keyboard enabled, the Alt + Enter does not register in IDEA 15, but registers perfectly under IDEA 14.

I have just tried on a separate Mac, and I see the same problem. If the "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard mapping is selected, the Alt+Enter shortcut doesn't work in IDEA 15 but it does in IDEA 14

Cheers

What you're looking for is the "Intention Actions" which for some reason shows up as Alt+Enter on OSX despite the fact that it's default mapping is ⌥⏎.

If you want to remap this functionality, go to the Keymap and search for "Show Intention Actions" and change the mapping. Have a look here for more details.

Edit:

I reported this as: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-174618

Try the right alt key on an iMac.

Just solved it for my machine: I had a system-wide shortcut on alt-enter.

Use the Apple menu -> system preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts

In the left container select "Keyboard"

At my machine I had an activated shortcut "Move focus to the window toolbar"   which was alt-enter.

Disabled it and it works again in IntelliJ

(To find out if something else is eating alt-enter try reassigning it to something else in IntelliJ's keyboard settings - if it does not register there, some other tool is swallowing the sequence. System preferences in my case, but it might also be any other running tool.)
