Copy Paste using ALT instead of Ctrl on Haiku OS

Hi

IntelliJ works great on Haiku OS except one thing.
Haiku uses Alt+C / Alt+V instead of Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V as copy paste key.
But in Intellij it's mapped to Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V.

I couldn't find a way to change that. In the keybinding settings I cannot use Alt.

Is there any way this can be done? It would be great if IntelliJ would support that on Haiku itself.

Alt is used for mnemonics:

Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Enable mnemonics in controls
Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Enable mnemonics in menu

Disabling the above options might help.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work. Still can't use alt in the keybindings.

Hi! Please try adding the shortcuts to the keymap config file manually (you can find it under "keymap" subfolder in IDE settings directory):

<keymap version="1" name="<your keymap name>" parent="<parent keymap>">
<actionid="$Copy">
<keyboard-shortcutfirst-keystroke="alt c"/>
</action>
<actionid="$Paste">
<keyboard-shortcutfirst-keystroke="alt v"/>
</action>
<actionid="Editor Copy">
<keyboard-shortcutfirst-keystroke="alt c"/>
</action>
<actionid="Editor Paste">
<keyboard-shortcutfirst-keystroke="alt v"/>
</action>
</keymap>
Does it help?
