Configure Home/End key to move to start/end of line in IntelliJ

Question

I know ctrl+right/ctrl+left will do that, but I am used to pressing Home/End and it's frustrating when it doesn't do it in IntelliJ. I use KeyRemap4Macbook which works great for terminal and elsewhere with the Home/End key setting, but the settings for some reason do not work in IntelliJ.

I am on MAC OSX, IJ 12.1.4.

Answer 1

So there are 2 settings in KeyRemap4MacBook:

Unchecking the first option, and keeping the 2nd checked allowed me to use Home/End in IJ.

Answer 2

IntelliJ IDEA doesn't seem to support ⌃A and ⌃E but it does support ⌘← and ⌘→. You could use this setting instead:

Or add something like this to private.xml:

<appdef>
  <appname>INTELLIJ</appname>
  <equal>com.jetbrains.intellij.ce</equal>
</appdef>
<item>
  <name>test</name>
  <identifier>test</identifier>
  <block>
    <only>INTELLIJ</only>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::HOME, ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::CURSOR_LEFT, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::END, ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::CURSOR_RIGHT, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::HOME, VK_SHIFT | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::CURSOR_LEFT, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::END, VK_SHIFT | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::CURSOR_RIGHT, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L</autogen>
  </block>
  <block>
    <not>INTELLIJ</not>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::HOME, ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::A, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::END, ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::E, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::HOME, VK_SHIFT | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::A, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::END, VK_SHIFT | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::E, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L</autogen>
  </block>
</item>
