Arrow keys, delete and double click are not working in IDEA
I have IDEA Ultimate 2019.2 and MacOS Catalina 10.15.4 (anyway, this bug was already present many versions of IDEA and MacOS before)
The case is:
1) I search some text in project (cmd + shift + f) or in file (cmd + f) or try to search and replace (cmd + shift + r / cmd + r)
2) I type some text in search window (i.e. 'abc xy')
3) Then I try to move cursor to the left with arrow key '<-' to delete symbol 'c' - it's not working. Cursor doesn't move and just nothing happens
4) I'm setting the cursor to desired position with mouse and then try to delete symbol 'c' with ''delete button - nothing happens again
5) I'm trying to select 'abc' entirely with mouse double click - and it's also not working
What IS working: cursor manual positioning with mouse single click and symbol deletion with 'backspace' key

Please update your installation to version 2020.1, a lot of similar bugs were fixed in between:

I've updated to the latest build, but none of the above works yet..
It is still IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2. Please update to IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1
Sorry, haven't noticed )
Anyway, after updating to 2020.1.1 nothing have changed
Could not reproduce that on the same OS, IDE version and Runtime.
It could be custom plugins or some incompatibilities with other applications in the system.
May you download "KeyCastr" opensource key capturing tool, enable only "presentation assistant" IDE plugin and record a short screencast demonstrating the issue and keys pressed?
Thanks.
Yes, you're right - it's some plugin causing the issue. Now I'll try to find out, which one is.

I found it! It's JSON Formatter plugin.
I uninstalled it and everything works fine now
For me, it was not a plugin, but the IntelliJ version. 2020.1.4 works on my 2012 Intel MacBook running macOS Catalina 10.15.7. Later versions available to install in the Jetbrains Toolbox do not work. Backspace just goes left and left and right arrows do not allow you to go to previous or next lines.
