Remove `run anything` keyboard shortcut

Hi, 

I was wondering if it's possible to remove double ctrl shortcut (which execute run anything command).

I use double ctrl as a global system shortcut (to show terminal) and it is kinda annoying in PhpStorm.

Hi there,

Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Advanced Settings | Disable double modifier key shortcuts

That is weird design, but apparently you need to assign some shortcut to the action in order to make Run Anything stop respond on double Ctrl.

Nothing is set as a shortcut but it still shows up when I double click `ctrl` by accident

It is already available in IDE's build > 183.5065.

Is this fix available already?

I found a workaround that works in the following edition:  assign any other keyboard shortcut to "Run Anything" (I chose ^+#R, which I won't hit by accident.)

Not at the moment, but you will be able to disable the shortcut in the upcoming release: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-197444

It'd take place in the middle of the next week.

Fast-forward, this is still the same behavior on Phpstorm 2021.3.1.

I have the same issue in 2024 using Gateway to reach PyCharm 2024.1. Double modifiers are disabled both on host and client. Assigning a keyboard shortcut solved the issue for me.

Is it possible to make the default be some complicated+hard to reach key combination to this feature? The choice of ctrl is unfortunate at best… God forbid you use emacs bindings.

Oddly, in Windows, when I do a Ctrl+C to copy a class name from a log, and then Ctrl+Alt+T to open it (Eclipse keybindings), everything is fine.

However, In Ubuntu GNOME, I do the same thing, and the Run Anything gets triggered.  Disabling double modifier key shortcuts fixes it.
