How do I make Ctrl+Alt+F7 keyboard shortcut work in IntelliJ on Ubuntu 14.04
There is already a partial solution to the problem documented on askubuntu.com.
Unfortunately, it is not working for Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7] keys. There was a solution for that in Ubuntu 13.04 and eralier to enable "Special keys (Ctrl+Alt+key) handled in a server" in Keyboard Layout -> Options -> Miscellaneous compatibility options. There is also a general X11 xorg solution, but does nor work with Ubuntu 14.04 since it has no /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Also, I cannot find the corresponding option in gnome-tweek-tool, which is supposed to be used in this case according to Ubuntu developers.
How do I enable special keys Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7] in the server so that IntelliJ shortcuts work in Ubuntu 14.04?
You can use Ctrl+Alt+7 (rather than Ctrl+Alt+F7) and Alt+F7. you can change the default ubuntu keymap setting by setting->keyboard-> shortcuts->windows->move windows change "move window" shortcut and use Alt+F7 in android studio. It works.
In Ubuntu 14.02 you can change those workspace keys by
- "Start"-menu > System Tools > dconf Editor
- Navigate to org > gnome > desktop > wm > keybindings
Click on the key you want to "give its freedom" and change it. I changed F7 to F7.
After that IntelliJ recognized the key combination
