Clojurians Log v2

Just checked this. It seems both cmd+sidearrow and alt+sidearrow (on a mac) are bound to cursive's structural editing move forward and move backward actions out of the box. As I use cmd+arrow for those, I unbound alt+arrow and it now works the way you describe

@imre I saw it was bound to both Cmd+Arrow and Alt+Arrow, so I deleted the latter (as you also suggested) and it works for me now. Thanks.

As an IntelliJ newbie, I feel Alt+Arrow should not be bound to jumping forms by default, since Cmd+Arrow already does that job.

I find this super annoying too. I noticed yesterday Calva treats strings as a list of words wrt some strucural editing commands like this

@kumarshantanu The work-around that I use inside string is opt + shift + arrow . This will highlight the text of course but then you can get to where you want. It’s not ideal, but it’s a trick that I use

This could simply be an oversight wrt default keybinds by @cfleming

Shortcuts are notoriously tricky. Calva Windows users run into problems with the default binding of ctrl+left/right for barf/slurp. It makes such sense on Mac, but on Windows I’ve learnt that it is supposed to move by words (which I never use in Clojure code, but apparently some do.) Treating strings as a shallow lists of words is great though. It makes moving by words, grow/shrink selections and split/join and such quite natural.

That’s a really nice solution @pez, I think I’ll steal that 🙂

This is fixed in the next build. Rather than using @pez's solution, which was somewhat tricky for boring internal reasons, the move forward/backward action just delegates to the standard IntelliJ one when invoked within a string or comment (https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/2097)

I eventually did click on “Add as Leiningen project” from intellij file tab

Did that fix the problem?

yes, thank you!
