Can I change this key binding?
Answered
The git log view has the ability to filter by user. However, it is not possible to select users using the mouse alone. The input field demands to use CMD-Enter to submit your choice. This key combination is not usable for me, because for years I have bound that to Spotlight search on my macs.
I couldn't seem to find a way to change that key binding in IntelliJ? To see what I mean:
- Bring up the git tool
- Click on the 'Log' tab
- Try to filter by user
- Click Select ...
Read the text in the small bar below: "In order to select a user, you have to "Select one or more values separated with | or newlines, use CMD Enter to finish."
Is there some way I can change this key binding or must I be forced to change a well liked system wide setting?

Hello @...
The CMD+Enter is the default shortcut and it cannot be changed.
Is there a way to hack this by altering some xml file perhaps?

I don't think that such an edit may not affect other parts of IDE.

Thank you! If I wanted to do this at my own risk, what would I need to patch?

I've double-checked the info with developers.
Regrettably, this shortcut is in code and it cannot be changed via config files.
Thanks for checking! In that case, it should be possible to trigger the action by mouse as well as keyboard. This could also be important in the interest of accessibility.
