Vimidea / Vim plugin was not working for me on Pycharm / Rubymine / Intellij Finally found the solution!!! Follow this steps and it would work - Guaranteed! Just make sure that you don't have a conflict with the Keymap to refactor-extract-variable and vim emulator! Go to settings-Keymap-MainMenu-Refactor-Extract-Variable And remove the shortcut Now run the shortcut to make the VimEmulator to run, in Mac just hit: Cmd+option+V (option is the key next to command) If its still doesn't work it means that you cannot exit insert mode - make sure to bind the escape key to: settings-Keymap-Plug-ins-ideavim-Exit Insert Mode escape Actually using the shortcut to start/stop VimEmulator is a great idea when you ask your team-mate help with your code and he/she is not used to working with Vim. Just hit cmd+option+V and you are back to using the idea without Vim and again to start working with Vim again:).
