JetBrains products not showing FN keys on touchbar


I have a Macbook with touchbar and wanted to set touchbar to always show FN keys for JetBrains apps. I have done it in preferences, same as for other apps. FN keys shows as default in those apps when they are in focus but not in the JetBrains apps.


Solution

  • If you are using ToolBox App to install your JetBrains products then please have a look at the comments in IDEA-167332 ticket -- you will have to locate your apps in ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/ folder.

    Downside -- you need to repeat this to every new build of such app that you will install as the path to actual app will be different every time.


    UPDATE: the aforementioned ticket has been marked as fixed for 2018.2.x version version. You now have an option on Preferences | Keymap screen.
