Reformat Code Shortcut (Option-Command-L) Conflicts in Mac
Answered
Hi,
Using IntelliJ Idea in Mac with classic keyboard binding, I'm unable to use Reformat Code with default shortcut Option-Command-L. Apparently it's conflicting with a Mac shortcut so that pressing Option-Command-L is bringing another application window to the front rather than running reformat.
I could not find any conflicting keybinding in Keyboard preferences.
Current IntelliJ Idea version is 2020.1 in Mac 10.15.4, however, I'm having this issue for a long time, it's not new to this version.
Thanks for your help

If it's taken by some other app, there is nothing that we can do about that. You need to find this app and re-assign the shortcut or change it in IntelliJ IDEA Preferences | Keymap to something that is available. It could be some third-party app as this shortcut is free on the default macOS installation.
thanks Serge Baranov. the other app was Boostnote. removed shortcut and things back to normal.
FYI: this used to be free in OSX. but now as of ventura, this shortcut is now taken by Finder-Downloads and cannot be changed. For now I will just modify my shortcut in IntelliJ since I cannot change Finder shortcuts.
