JetBrains IDEs always had difficult and unintuitive default keyboard shortcuts. I think it's just because of its age (same is true with Visual Studio). Whereas VS Code's out of the box shortcuts were relatively great. If JetBrains IDEs shipped with VSCode-style shortcuts as an option (not necessarily default) that I could switch to without having to manually remap everything, I'd be so glad to use them.


They do? Or at least the Jetbrains IDE I use the most (IntelliJ) will ask you the first time you start it up if you want to use VS code keybinds


Wow you're right. To be fair it was about 9-10 years since I last tried it, so either it didn't have that back then, or I forgot that it did.


They do have those options out of the box. I immediately switch them over to the VSCode bindings when on a new work machine.

they have a VS keybinding option out of the box, but the VSCode one is also available on the Marketplace


They do. There are a ton of keybinding sets to choose from right there in the options. Heck, when i first started, I chose Textmate bindings!
