How to move KeyMap Settings to another computer?

This time, I changed my computer, and I want to transfer the settings I have set before. Could you please tell me how to do it?

Hello,

You can use Settings Sync plugin, export keymap settings via File | Manage IDE Settings | Export setting and then import these settings via the corresponding import option.

To export keymaps from one IntelliJ instance:

  1. Go to File → Manage IDE Settings → Export Settings
  2. Select both:
    • Keymaps
    • Keymaps (schemes)
      (Selecting only “Keymaps” won’t fully import them later)
  3. Choose a location — this will generate a settings.zip file

To import keymaps into another IntelliJ instance:

  1. Go to File → Manage IDE Settings → Import Settings
  2. Select the previously exported settings.zip
  3. Ensure both are selected:
    • Keymaps
    • Keymaps (schemes)
  4. Restart the IDE
