Shortcut to get Actions (Cmd+ Shift + A) not working in Intellij Idea


I am working with the following versions

IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2 (Community Edition)
Build #IC-192.5728.98, built on July 23, 2019
Runtime version: 11.0.3+12-b304.10 x86_64
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
macOS 10.14.5

As soon as I upgraded my macos version to Mojave, from then onwards, I have started getting a weird error in Intellij which I did not face till now. When I press the shortcut (Cmd+ Shift + A) to open the Actions , a terminal is opened with the message

close ot: nothing appropriate

enter image description here

I tried the command man apropos and man makewhatis but it did not help. Can anyone please suggest me a way to fix this ? Thanks in advance !!!


Solution

  • After the macos update to Mojave, a new keyboard shrortcut was added. So going to Keyboard and disabling this shortcut helps resolve this issue.
