Ok, which idiot at jetBrains thought it was a good idea to have "CRTL + Y" be a "cut line" (instead of redo) and "CRTL + SHIFT + F6" be "rename" (instead of just simply "F2")...

And also, which idiot thought it was a good idea to not allow us to properly change it (doing so will result in the right shortcuts doing nothing at all)...

Fuck you and your "Adobe-style" shortcuts.

Minor edit: Some idiot decided that it'd be a good idea to *only* have a custom rename shortcut work *if* I already grabbed my mouse, right-clicked the file/folder and hover refactor...
Might as fucking well continue my mouse-movement and click "rename" you fucking morons.

The renaming is most likely intended to be different than the standard rename shortcut because it's actually a "refactor naming" operation...

I hate the IntelliJ shortcuts

@Flygger Well... It's called "rename" when I look under the menu and there is literally nothing else called "rename" that one could confuse it with, so it's stupid.

@Marl3x I literally went back to VSCode just because the IntelliJ shortcuts are retarded and changing them breaks those same shortcuts...

@FinlayDaG33k You went back to VSCode over some shortcuts?!

I've never used them, I've always used the Netbeans keymap having come from there and didn't want to relearn the muscle memory, plus a few custom bits and pieces. Never had an issue with custom keymaps breaking stuff.

If you didn't go through _all_ IDE settings yet, you should definitely do so right now!
Shortcuts, addons, linter, codeassist, CVS integration, syntax highlighting,...
Almost all settings lead to wasted potential or annoyances when not configured to your liking (especially linting, highlighting, and autocomplete stuff).

It is okay to spend a full day for the initial configuration of a new IDE.

@AlmondSauce Well yes, if I have to spend days getting even something _this_ trivial to work properly, it's not worth my time.

If I rebind F2 to the "rename" thing, it doesn't work... untiiiiil, I right-click, hover "refactor" and *then* press F2...

And mind you, this is *literally* the item that the default Crtl + Shift + F6 is bound to at first, so it's not like I bind it to the wrong one...

Using "their" shortcus is not just a _minor_ adjustment to muscle memory either, this is fundamentally changing the way I need to work...

Instead of just rolling my left hand forward to tap F2, I need to move my lefthand down and left, use a finger that is very weak for me (my ringfinger misses most nerves) and move my right hand to the F6 keys as well...

And for someone who is already having troubles moving their hands... well... any otherwise unneccessary movement is a waste...

1/10 Horribly inefficient, would not recommend.

So I asked a friend who works with IntelliJ a lot more (and a lot longer) and he managed to fix it...

The key was that some retard calls it "Type Migration"...

After adding the keybind to that, it worked fine...

He stated: "Aye, th'is a dumb name. Came by it on accident, don't blame ye for not finding it"

10/10 arbitrary names.

What fucking idiot at JetBrains decided that "^Y" should be "cut line" instead of "dd".

You can always change it to be like your favourite IDE. It's a built-in feature and the first thing I do when installing (I love Eclipse's shortcuts)

@realngnx That was kind of the thing... Changing it didn't work... but apprarently, it was because the idiots at JetBrains decided to call it "Type Migration" instead of "rename"... while "rename" was only for another menu.

@FinlayDaG33k I mean the keymap. There's even a VSCode keymap available.

@realngnx There wasn't by default, I had to download one... and even that didn't fully work so i had to modify that one as well...

it's "acceptable" now...

Intelij is a nice IDE but yeah the fucking shortcuts are dumb
