xah-fly-keys recommends mapping the Capslock key to << Home >> and binding << Home >> to Command mode.
It makes things a lot easier and it would be really handy if I could switch to the command mode with CapsLock.
Thanks.

After removing the plugin, if a custom keymap was created based on the plugin keymaps, an error notification is shown

Because the cloned keymap uses the ErgoKeys (QWERTY) keymap as parent, after uninstalling the plugin, IntelliJ can not find the parent keymap and shows the error notification.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the plugin
2. Create custom keymap based on ErgoKeys (QWERTY) by duplicating it
3. Uninstall the plugin

Workaround: delete any custom keymap based on the plugin before/after removing the plugin

In version 1.14, pressing the Enter key in Command mode starts a new line.
But in versions >=1.15 the same action is missing.

I wanted to reproduce vim's exit from insert mode by pressing escape key, but I can't seem to do so.
I've added a custom binding for Command Mode to do that (I've had to do it directly in file), but Pressing escape does nothing. I've also removed all other mappings for escape key, but nothing changed.

Binding Insert Mode to Escape has some weird consequences too: insert mode is entered, but only after second press.

Can Escape a viable key for command mode/insert mode?

Middle click (or Ctrl+Click) on an identifier no longer goes to declaration/usages if you're in command mode

Command mode auto exit after escape from pop up float windows which open by commands that like Shift,Shfit or Space, Comma.
Is this a bug or a expected behavior?

List all supported key bindings (with examples) in the README.

Command mode shortcut Alt+Space doesn't work on windows 10. It triggers the OS window menu (with Restore, Move, etc).

Currently, the key bindings are coded at compile time. This feature will let the user customize the key bindings.
Note that changing the default key binding for entering command mode, ALT + SPACE, is possible in Settings / Keymap.

Some keyboards have a split space bar with one acting as backspace and the other as space.
Add a toggle that lets the user activate the backspace key as an additional leader key in CMD mode.

Add support for Programmer Dvorak keyboard layout.
See: https://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak/

Implementation notes:

• Add another keyboard layout to the keymaps directory named ErgoKeys (Programmer Dvorak).xml.
• Use ErgoKeys (Dvorak) as the parent keymap in the new keymap xml.
• Update only changed shortcuts. The rest will automatically derive from the Dvorak keymap.

How to reproduce:

1. switch editor to CMD mode
2. press A (Find Action)
3. search for "Go To Line"
4. input text is stuck in CMD mode

Expected:

When the dialog is open switch to INS mode.

Support activating CMD mode and other ErgoKeys actions while updating indices.

Hello! Thank you for the great plugin.

Coming from emacs I was excited to see someone had implemented modal key bindings.

I can't seem to find the list of keybindings? And is it possible to change what command the keys bind to?

Add the default shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+N for go to class) in command mode.

When in CMD mode and calling search everywhere with Shift + Shift or run anything with Ctrl + Ctrl,
the keys i j k l do not insert the corresponding characters (still bound to CMD mode).

Need to detect that the user focus is away from the editor and change to INS mode.

This plugin is great! I am just having some trouble using it in the new jupyter notebook interface (PyCharm 2021.3.3 (Professional Edition)).
The command mode does not seem to work in this interface. While it seems as though it is possible to enable it, none of the commands work and it cannot be disabled again. Perhaps this is due to interference from the jupyter command mode?

This plugin isn't compatible with the latest IntelliJ and Rider versions (2022.3.*). Could you publish an update?

There is a problem with command-mode custom keybindings that open pop-up windows or menus. The menu or window will open but I will be stuck on command-mode with the key to switch to insert-mode not working. Basically, we need to switch to insert-mode before performing the action. I think you have also ran into this problem and that's why this piece of code exists:

                if (action.getClass().equals(SearchEverywhereAction.class) ||
                        action.getClass().equals(RunAnythingAction.class) ||
                        action.getClass().equals(IncrementalFindAction.class) ||
                        action.getClass().equals(FindInPathAction.class) ||
                        action.getClass().equals(ViewStructureAction.class)) {
                    final Editor editor = dataContext.getData(CommonDataKeys.EDITOR);
                    activateInsertMode(editor);
                }

This fixes the issues for these specific actions, but obviously can never cover all the different actions I want to bind to keys.

This is my current minimal solution:

1. Whenever the focus is lost, I activate insert mode (We lose focus for actions that create a pop-up window). The idea being that we only want to be in command-mode in the "main" editor where we actually edit code, so whenever whenever focus is lost on this editor we probably want to be in insert mode.
2. When we gain focus we check if the editor is editing a named file. (Editor seems to be a generic named used for many things we can type into, including pop-up windows, etc). But only the "main" editor has named files we are modifying. So when we gain focus on the main editor we switch back to command mode. This is pretty much the entire change:

         EditorFactory.getInstance().addEditorFactoryListener(
                 new EditorFactoryListener() {
                     @Override
                     public void editorCreated(@NotNull EditorFactoryEvent event) {
                         Editor editor = event.getEditor();
+
                         editor.getContentComponent().addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {
                             @Override
                             public void focusGained(FocusEvent focusEvent) {
-                                LOG.debug("focusGained: focusEvent=", focusEvent);
-                                editor.getSettings().setBlockCursor(inCommandMode());
+                                LOG.debug("focusGained: focusEvent=", focusEvent.toString());
+
+                                EditorComponentImpl e = (EditorComponentImpl)(focusEvent.getSource());
+                                VirtualFile f = e.getEditor().getVirtualFile();
+                                // No file name. Assume it is not the "main" editor windows where user modifies code.
+                                if(f != null){
+                                    activateCommandMode(editor);
+                                }
                             }
 
                             @Override
                             public void focusLost(FocusEvent focusEvent) {
                                 LOG.debug("focusLost: focusEvent=", focusEvent);
-                                lastEditorUsed = editor;
+                                // Will we need this?
+//                                lastEditorUsed = editor;
+                                activateInsertMode(editor);
                             }
                         });
                     }

I have been using this for a while and seems to work well. Other approaches that I tried had corner cases I couldn't easily handle. I have a fork of this repo but it is cumbersome to maintain and merge new changes.

I'd be happy to make a PR with these changes if there is interest? Thanks

First of all thanks for writing this plugin.
I've started using it today and am liking it. I've also noticed the following problems:

• Middle click (or Ctrl+Click) on an identifier no longer goes to declaration/usages if you're in command mode.
• i j k l keys don't insert the corresponding char in "search everywhere"(shift-shift) and "run anything" (ctrl-ctrl)
• Non-Xah shortcuts don't work in command mode (e.g Ctrl+N for go to class)
• Alt-space doesn't work on my system (windows 10). It triggers the OS window menu (with Restore, Move, etc) and had to remap to Alt-F (which normally triggers the File menu but you can still do that with another hit of Alt-F)

I think we can live with most of these issues but the first one would definitely need to be fixed, if possible. As neither of mouse-based and keyboard-based input mode can ever totally replace one another, any software should provide optimal support for both.

Also, I created a visual layout of the plugin's Keymap on keyboard-layout-editor.com, as a way to help familiarise myself quickly with it: ErgoKeysV0. Might come in handy for other new users.

(#29) Opening the builtin terminal while in command mode does not automatically switch to insert mode and will also prevent switching to it, forcing the user to switch back to the editor in order to change the keymap.

Add binding to select all in CMD mode.

This is a good plugin, but I prefer ideavim to this plugin. After deleting the plugin, an error occurs every time I restart idea.

What's the problem

Add binding to insert space in CMD mode without switching to INS mode, press the space bar and back to CMD mode.

Customizing Command mode key binding is done using the IDE keymap settings.
Unfortunately, it is not documented in the README or anywhere else.
