Hi,

My time spent programming is split between what I do at work, and the programming I do at home in my spare time. At work, we use Vista machines and IntelliJ IDEA 8, whilst at home I use Mac OS X and Eclipse.

As you can imagine, my ability to easily switch between the two is getting more difficult as I find the keyboard shortcuts are different.

Is there a good way to quickly standardize the shortcuts for both Eclipse and IDEA? I see myself mostly using Eclipse in the future, so I would preferably like to switch in that direction.

If not, I'll do it manually (ughh).

Cheers.

This doesn't directly address your question, but IntelliJ's license allows you to run the application from home. See their faq.

That way you can use IntelliJ both at work, and at home.

Odd, someone had the exact same wish back in 2005!

Intellij is supposed to have an Eclipse Keymap

The IntelliJ FAQ for eclipse user mentions:

IntelliJ IDEA includes a bundled Eclipse keymap, so you can select it in Settings dialog, Keymap if you prefer using shortcuts you're accustomed to.

IntelliJ is supposed to have that Eclipse keymaps since the Demetra 6.0.5 version.
See their Release Notes from that (old) version.
