How to combine keyboard and mouse events to create a key mapping in IntelliJ IDEA?

1.4k views Asked by At

I want to add my own key mappings as combinations of keyboard and mouse events. Examples:

  • Ctrl + left click
  • Ctrl + left double click
  • Ctrl + mouse over
  • Alt + mouse over

How can I achieve this?

Attempts:

I went to Settings... > Appearance & Behavior > Keymap , but there are only 3 options:

  • Add Keyboard Shortcut
    • I can press some keys, but IntelliJ doesn't recognize the mouse events here
  • Add Mouse Shortcut
    • It works only for click / double click, keyboard is ignored
  • Add Abbreviation

    enter image description here

I observed that some existing mappings already have such a combination where "left click" appears as "Button1 Click", but I don't know how to insert this text there because there is no Paste option and Ctrl + V is recognized as a key mapping, not as a command. I also tried to drag&drop some text, but it didn't work.

Details:

  • IDE: IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.1
  • O.S.: Windows 7

You need to enter a mouse shortcut, and simply use the modifier key when you click the message: "Click here to enter mouse shortcut". The mouse button plus modifier should show up under the Shortcut Preview section of the dialog.
