Installation

1. Install Visual Studio Code 1.54.0 or higher
2. Launch Code
3. From the extension view Ctrl-Shift-X (Windows, Linux) or Cmd-Shift-X (macOS)
4. Search and Choose the extension Intellij IDEA Keybindings
5. Reload Visual Studio Code

Known Issues (IntelliJ Importer)

• Refactoring commands are not supported
• Sidebar controls are not supported
• Namepad control is not supported at the same time as numbers
• Intellij's custom keymap is not a full copy of its parent keymap. It inherits unmodified shortcuts from the parent keymap and defines only those that were changed. If you use a plugin like Emacs or Vim, only your changes will be exported in the XML
• Warning output for keymaps that could not be imported is not yet implemented
• Cannot load settings.zip file directly

Contributing to the Code

Clone a copy of the repo:

git clone https://github.com/kasecato/vscode-intellij-idea-keybindings.git

Building the code

First, install the package dependencies:

npm install

Now you can compile the code:

1. Launch Code
2. Edit src/package-with-comment.json (NOT package.json)
3. Run Build Task Ctrl-Shift-B (Windows, Linux) or Cmd-Shift-B (macOS)
4. Run Command Markdown Generator npm run usage
5. Paste the Command Markdown to README.md

After the initial compile, the source files will be watched and recompiled when changes are saved.
