This project tries to mimic Spacemacs key bindings in IDEs based on the IntelliJ platform, i.e. IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, CLion, PhpStorm, WebStorm, RubyMine, AppCode, DataGrip, GoLand, Rider, Cursive, and Android Studio.
For instance, SPC f f in Spacemacs opens a file, so it makes sense to map it
to the “GotoFile” IntelliJ action.
This project can be seen as a set of configuration files for the IdeaVim plugin,
which enables vim emulation inside IntelliJ platform.
~/.ideavimrc is the file where IdeaVim lets you add Vim initialization
commands, i.e. this file is like ~/.vimrc for vim.
IdeaVim parses the most common vim commands, together with the custom
:action {name} command, used to execute arbitrary IDE actions.
To list all IDE actions use the command :actionlist [pattern].
Intellimacs provides different files, which can be included individually in
your own .ideavimrc, in order to get only the functionalities you want.
Intellimacs is composed of three modules:
- spacemacs
- Contains Spacemacs settings and key bindings that can be replicated with a similar behaviour in the IntelliJ platform.
- extra
- Contains settings and key bindings not present in Spacemacs, but that may be useful in the IntelliJ platform.
- major
- Contains key bindings that start with
SPC m, that may or may not be present in some Spacemacs major mode.
Furthermore, Intellimacs provides some of the features of Spacemacs hybrid
mode, which may be enabled by sourcing the file ~/.intellimacs/hybrid.vim.
Read KEYBINDINGS.org to see all 200+ available key bindings.
- Go to the IDE’s plugin manager (File -> Settings -> Plugins) and install
the following plugins:
- IdeaVim: vim emulation
- (Optional) IDEA Which-Key: menu that shows the available commands as you type
- Clone this repository in your home directory:
git clone https://github.com/MarcoIeni/intellimacs ~/.intellimacs - In your home directory, create the file
.ideavimrcand edit it in order to include the modules you want by sourcing the relative source files. In the following there is an example of.ideavimrcfile that includes all the functionalities offered by Intellimacs. In this file you can also include your own vim commands.source ~/.intellimacs/spacemacs.vim " (Optional) Enable other Intellimacs modules source ~/.intellimacs/extra.vim source ~/.intellimacs/major.vim source ~/.intellimacs/hybrid.vim " (Optional) Enable which-key plugin source ~/.intellimacs/which-key.vim " (Optional) My own vim commands nnoremap Y y$ " (Optional) Comma for major mode nmap , <leader>m vmap , <leader>m " (Optional) Add/edit actions nnoremap <leader>gl :action Vcs.Show.Log<CR> vnoremap <leader>gl :action Vcs.Show.Log<CR>
- (optional) source your vimrc file by adding the line
source ~/.vimrcin.ideavimrc(you may break something).
In order to update run git pull inside the intellimacs directory.
Read CHANGELOG.org to see what changed.
PLUGINS.org contains a list of useful plugins that help to replicate the Spacemacs experience.
The key bindings work only when you are inside the code.
For example, if you are inside the project window they don’t work.
Press <Esc> to focus the last visited code window and you will be able to
use spacemacs key bindings again.
In order to scroll menus without using arrow keys, press SPC f e d to go to
IDE’s settings and set a custom shortcut for the actions Down and Up in the
menu Keymap -> Editor Actions.
For example, you can bind them respectively to Ctrl + j and Ctrl + k.
If you have some conflicts, search the editor action the key is assigned to,
right click and remove the binding.
In order to open a file in Emacs with a keyboard shortcut follow this guide.
Intellimacs needs you to keep it up to date and propose great and useful key bindings.
