I know that you can jump from almost all windows in Intellij IDEA to the editor window with Esc. In Intellij\'s terminal window, this does not work. Does anyone k
Ubuntu:
alt + 2(twice) - jump from the terminal to the editor
alt + F12 - open the terminal
Mac:
cmd + 2(twice) - jump from the terminal to the editor
options + F12 (this shortcut toggles the terminal window on and off)
Another possibility:
Shift + Esc
(This one will close terminal panel)
Assumption
This solution assumes that you want to leave the terminal and version control tab (or any tab) always open and don't want to close any of them. And you want to jump from terminal to editor using keybaord shortcut.
Solution
Webstorm screenshot
You can see my webstorm, I alway open two tabs at bottom. And you can also see the settings of terminal in this screenshot which are used to open it in split mode.
Injellij -> Preference -> Key Map -> search "terminal" -> .
find or change the shortcut there
It might be an option to disable Preferences > Tools > Terminal > Override IDE shortcuts
Esc works after that
On OSX PhpStorm 8, ⌘ 2 twice works. ⌥ + numbers are not likely to be assigned as [default] shortcuts on OSX as they are special characters like ™ (⌥ 2).
For me, only ⌘ 2, ⌘ 6, and ⌘ 9 work with this idea, ⌘ 2 being the least disruptive as @dev suggests.
There is an open ticket about the Terminal focus issue that might be worth following to see if this behaviour improves in the future.
