Intellij IdeaVim change keys

ideavim, intellij-idea, vim

Solution

I've done this myself, and its pretty easy in IntelliJ 11. I know that in previous versions (9, maybe?) setting up keymap values is significantly different.

In IntelliJ 11 you can do the following:

- Go to `Settings`

- Select `Keymap` from the left menu

- Search for `Exit Insert Mode` on the right side and associate whatever key you want to use, such as CTRL-C

Problem

I would really like to be able to use IdeaVIM but I am unable to figure out where I can set my custom vim key mappings. For example instead of using Esc I would like to use Ctrl-C and instead of using hjkl I like to use wasd. I have all these already set in my `.vimrc` but IdeaVIM failed to load them. I can copy them over manually to whatever file is needed but there is no documentation on how to do this.
