Settings Repository between different JetBrains IDE's

Hello everyone!

Is it meant to use the settings repository to synchronize settings between different IDE's? More precisely, i want to synchronize the settings between CLion, WebStorm and IntelliJ. I tested it to see what happens, and it seems that every time i switch the IDE, it commits some settings when i close it (and probably overwrite some of the previous ones).

For me it doesn't look like this makes sense at all, thus i would like to get an official statement if the settings repository is really meant to be used with different IDE versions?

I think it would be awesome if common settings which are applicable across different IDE's could be shared like this (e.g. common key bindings/color schemes/syntax highlighting etc.), but IDE dependent ones should probably be stored in an IDE specific subfolder in the repository.

Since this is my first post, i also would like to say that the JetBrains IDE's are really awesome! It's a pleasure to work with them.

Best regards
Christian
