I don't want to clone my caret when I accidentally press double ctrl UP or DOWN, I can't find where to disable it, it's disabled in the keymap but it STILL DOES IT, I've also disabled “Double modifier key shortcuts” to no avail

Hi Rafa Faelk 

You can disable the shortcut through:

  1. Settings/Preferences.
  2. Go to Editor | General | Smart Keys.
  3. Uncheck “Add multiple carets on double …” (wording varies: look for anything mentioning adding carets with + ↑/↓).

To verify current bindings:

  • Press Find Action and search for “Clone caret” or “Add carets” to see the actions and their shortcuts, then remove any custom bindings if present.

If none of the above helps, check:

  • Keymap: search for “Clone Caret Above/Below” actions and remove any assigned shortcuts (including double-modifier combos
  • Plugins: temporarily disable editor-enhancement plugins that might inject multi caret shortcuts.
  • Restart the IDE after changes.
