This plugin converts the macOS keymap (previously known as Mac OS X 10.5+) in JetBrains IDEs from macOS-specific shortcuts to shortcuts without the Command (⌘) key for use on Windows and Linux.
While some keybindings are close to their original, others have more modifier keys or different bindings altogether to avoid conflicts.
Follow JetBrains' guide for using Gradle for plugin development.
Install the plugin from the plugin marketplace or grab the zip file from the latest release and install manually.
For signing and releasing the plugin, this repo uses the environment variables outlined in the IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template environment variables section:

| Actions | Keybindings | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| PrevWindow/NextWindow | Command+Shift+` /Command+` |
Workaround for platform-specific issues. For Linux, use Alt-` in supported WMs. For Windows, try AltBacktick or window-switcher. |
| EmojiAndSymbols | Command-Control-Space |
This is rebound to Control-Alt-Shift-Space but does not function outside macOS. For Windows, use Super+; or Super+. to activate the built-in emoji picker. |
Yes, choose Duplicate... from the Settings -> Keymap gear menu to create your own keymap based off this keymap. Your keymap will inherit all keybindings from this base keymap with your own changes applied on top. You can sync this user-defined keymap alongside the macOS For All keymap across all of your machines and IDEs.
This project tries to follow the macOS keybindings (still called "Mac OS X 10.5+" in the JetBrains codebase) as closely as possible.
As new UI elements and IDE features are added, JetBrains may add and remove keybindings to better match their evolving feature set. If you find that your muscle memory is getting in the way of a new binding, make a copy of this keymap for your own custom shortcuts.
If you don't use Caps Lock very often, try rebinding it to Command on macOS and Control on Windows and Linux for more consistent hand and finger positioning.
Use a plugin like Key Promoter X to help with learning new shortcuts.
