Keymap

Use this page to search for shortcuts and actions in the selected keymap, create, edit, and remove custom keymaps, and change shortcuts associated with actions in custom keymaps. Predefined keymaps are not editable. When you change shortcut associations for a predefined keymap (listed in bold), CLion creates a copy of that keymap, which you can modify (listed in a regular font with an indent below the parent keymap).

Keymap scheme actions

Click to select an action for the selected keymap:

Item	Description
Duplicate	Create a child keymap based on the selected one. It is created automatically when you modify a predefined keymap.
Rename	Change the name of a custom keymap.
Restore Defaults	Abandon all the changes made to a custom keymap and restore the configuration of the parent keymap.
Delete	Remove the selected custom keymap from the list.

	Expand All `Ctrl+NumPad +`	Expand all nodes in the content pane of actions.
	Collapse All `Ctrl+NumPad -`	Collapse all nodes in the content pane of actions.
	Edit Shortcut `Enter`	Change shortcuts for the selected action. It is possible to add new shortcuts and remove existing ones. Alternatively, you can right-click the necessary action. Add Keyboard Shortcut: open the Keyboard Shortcut dialog where you can specify the key combination to assign to the selected action in the current keymap. Pressing some keys or key combinations, such as `Enter` or `Ctrl+Tab`, will result in the actual action, such as closing the dialog. If you want to use them as shortcuts, click in the Keyboard Shortcut dialog and select the necessary key or combination. Add Mouse Shortcut: open the Mouse Shortcut dialog where you can specify the combination of mouse clicks to assign to the selected action in the current keymap. Remove <shortcut>: delete the shortcut from the selected action.
	Show conflicts with system shortcuts	List only those shortcuts that conflict with system hotkeys. Change them to avoid conflicts. Or you can change the corresponding system shortcuts (if possible). This item is available only on macOS.
		Search through the content pane of actions. As you type a search string, the actions that match the search pattern are displayed. The previously used search patterns are stored in the search history list. To add the search string to the history list, press `Enter`. Click to reveal the history list of the previous searches. Click to clear the current search pattern from the field.
	Find Action by Shortcut	Click this button to open the Find Shortcut dialog to filter out the desired actions by keystrokes.

Other options

Option	Description
Use national layout for shortcuts	The option is available only when using a non-English Latin keyboard layout and when the Keymap Nationalizer plugin is installed. On macOS and Windows, it is enabled by default, and all characters are interpreted as determined by the layout. For Windows, this behavior is hard-coded, and you can't disable it. On Linux, it is disabled by default, and keys with special characters are interpreted as if you were using an English keyboard layout. For example, pressing the minus key `-` on a German keyboard will produce a forward slash `/`, so to execute `Alt + /` on a German keyboard, press `⌥-`.
Use US non-alphanumeric keys for shortcuts	The option is available on Windows when using a Cyrillic layout. It is disabled by default. Enable it to map IDE actions to OEM keyboard characters as if it were an English keyboard layout.
