Hydra-style keybindings for IntelliJ

Answered

Hi,

  I am switching from Emacs to IntelliJ.

  One of my favorite features of Emacs is Hydra: https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra -- a way method for defining nested keymaps.

  From my limited understanding of IntelliJ -> File -> Settings -> Shortcuts, it appears that
    IntelliJ keybinding = 1 or 2 chords
    each chord = regular key + subset of {shift, alt, ctrl}

  Hydra allows me to define more complicated key bindings, for example, I can define
    "esc n f" = new file
    "esc g f" = goto file
    "esc g c" = goto class

  Furthermore, it can be setup so that when I press "esc g" it will show:
    f -> goto file
    c -> goto class

 

  Is there anyway to define hydra like bindings in IntelliJ?

 

Thanks!
