arrow keys,backspace,delete and option not working in phpstorm - phpstorm

This problem has had me stumped all day and I still haven't figured out a solution. If I use the delete or backspace keys nothing happens but I can still enter in text just can't delete anything. I've also found that the arrow keys are scrolling instead of moving the caret and I can't format the code which is option + command + L.
What I have tried
Uninstalled and reinstalled Phpstorm
updated jdk
invalidated cache and restart
restarted computer
looked through settings for an issue with key maps
So far none have worked and I have no idea what is causing it, it was working fine when I logged off my computer last night. It seems to only be effecting the code editor because if you're in the settings screen or any popup all the keys work as expected and other programs are not having the issue either
I'm running Phpstorm 9.0.1 on OSX Yosemite and have been using the bundled jdk version but at the moment is using the system jdk as I installed the other one to see if it would work.
Has anyone come across this issue before I have been searching google all day and haven't found anything so i'm hoping someone has had the same issue

Although answers at this link are related to IntelliJ IDEA but you can try them for phpstorm.
In my case, changing keymap fixed the issue. I had imported and selected a keymap from AppCode which broke the phpStorm and WebStorm.

Got this on Rider 2022.3 EAP1. Think PHPStorm, IntelliJ and PyCharm work about the same
I used Visual Studio before, so on Rider install I select VS2022 keybindings plugin.
After few days control keys just stopped work, and I found that Settings/Keymap is empty.
This is 100% broken keymap
I just select other, preferably default keymap - and there we are - all begin to work again
That's how good keybinging look - many keys at right

Got this problem, the solution was slightly different, although related to Keymap settings as well.
Some keymap templates, mostly those based on other IDEs, are not built-in the IDE but come from bundled plugins. You need that plugin enabled to initialize your keymap, of course, but even if you duplicate / update / rename it later, you still need to keep the plugin enabled because your custom keymap will stay in a category related to the keymap it's based upon.
PhpStorm (or other Jetbrains IDEs I suppose) will not warn you that you have to change your keymap if you disable the plugin, and even worse, it sometimes fail to switch to another built-in keymap when you do. You're stuck with a broken custom keymap, with the exact effects OP described.

mkdocs search plugin suddenly disappeared - any debugging suggestions?

I've been running a (company-internal) site that uses mkdocs, the materials for mkdocs them, and the default mkdocs search plugin.
It all worked fine until some point around the change of year, when the search field suddenly disapeared.. without any obvious thing having changed. The website is being served by a (company-hosted) gitlab instance.. there's no error or warning message during build that seems to relate to this issue.. nor does there seem to be any related error/warning in the javascript console. All this makes it very difficult to know where to start investigating..
Did anybody experience the same? Or do you have suggestions of where I could start looking?

tried to change the order in which plugins are executed, and various search plugin settings - without any effect. Looked for error/warning messages during mkdocs build (via gitlab ci-cd) and in the Javascript console - without success. Where to start?

PyCharm - Material Design Lite - Auto Suggest not working

I'm having some issues setting up a new Django project with PyCharm regarding autocompletion of HTML code. I am using Material Design Lite as a front-end framework, and have the files in a static folder in the project.
I've tried to mark the folder as a Resource,deleted the .idea folder, and
file | Invalidate Caches/Restart
as suggested here , this made PyCharm go through the indexing phase but it did nothing in the end.
This is really odd to me, since my prior project - running the same version of PyCharm and with seemingly the same settings, the auto suggestions works as inteded.
however in my new project I'm setting up, I just cant get it to auto suggest.
MDL also works despite this when running the server.
Anyone has any idea of what I can do to fix this? I'm thinking I have forgot to do something, but after a day of searching I'm still stuck.
And surprisingly, the day after, it just works without me having to do anything.
Maybe it was the restart of the PC that did it.

Text fields and areas in swing applications become non-editable when forwarding X11 session with XMing using openjdk

I'm attempting to run intellij from a Linux machine that is connected with putty that has had the display forwarded by Xming. Intellij is able to come up and I'm able to use most of the widgets, however I'm unable to select or type into any of the text fields.
I've found the following bug report: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8040662 however, since this is not a common use-case, the bug is sitting at "won't fix."
I also keep finding similar questions, such as: X11 forwarding affects Java Swing GUI dropdowns - Items not selectable, Menus collapse immediately but it seems like nobody has an answer.
Currently I'm running with the following versions:
Intelij: IC-141.1532.4
Openjdk: 1.7.0_76
XMing: 6.9.0.31
The solution is to use the current Oracle Java 7 JDK, which has been patched to fix this issue.

Changes To xaml don't reflect on App Until rebuild - windows phone

I have a weird problem in an windows phone 8 project (Visual Studio Express for windows phone 8) that Changes to xaml( ex:change visibility of control) don't reflect on App until I rebuild the project and deploy it again to emulator or device.
The changes reflect normally in the design window of visual studio but didn't reflect on the running App.
I did many researches and they didn't help, like:
1- Change "Build and Run" to "always build" when projects are out of date.
2- I checked configuration manager as This post suggests but it was selected.
I have the exact same issue. I have a work around at the moment to save the hassle of rebuilding the solution because rebuilding deletes and re-installs the app and changes any saved settings you've made while debugging. The work around is to switch between configurations. So I'll execute the app in Debug, make some changes, then the next time I execute I change config to Release, and the changes are there.
The difference I can see is when it works I can see the Build Output line which says "Updating the application as the manifest file has changed..." take a few moments to complete. When this issue occurs the output line appears for a split second and so you can tell the incremental deployment hasn't actually been deployed to the device/emulator.
This is a little frustrating so hopefully someone has a real answer. I have other projects on the same machine and they don't have this issue. Just the one project so I don't think its a VS2012 problem.
I've also tried suggestions from other sites saying delete bin and obj folders but that didn't work.
I had the same issue for some of my WP8 Silverlight projects in VS 2013. I couldn't understand why it happened only for some projects but not all, but eventually I found this forum thread. The solution is the following: if the name of your app includes spaces, you definitely need to remove them or replace say with the underscore char. This recipe helped to recover my 'problem' projects.
I also noticed that numbers at the beginning of app name cause the same problem. I solved it by removing numbers from solution and app name.

Flash Builder 4 changes not compiled

Im using Flash Builder 4 on the Mac and I have a worrisome problem: The compiler is sometimes not detecting my code changes.
For example I might write some code, compile and run, then add some logging statements, but they will not print. After a clean compile everything runs as expected.
I cannot see a pattern to the exclusion of changes. I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?
Details:
Flash Bulider 4
Pure AS3 project targetting Flex3.5 SDK
Max OS X Snow Leopard
My code does not use semicolons to terminate statements
The problem is with the SDK settings selected for the Compiler.
Try going to 'Project' > 'Properties' > 'ActionScript Compiler'.
Now, in the 'Flex SDK section', try changing the SDK. Click on 'Apply'.
This will force FB to rebuild all settings for the project.
You can try again. FB should now have started compiling with latest code changes again.
Please Note: This is not a permanent fix though!
In case the problem re-occurs, you'll need to again perform the steps mentioned above to get FB back on track.
As bad as it sounds, I am now used to this behavior, I use FB4 on a Mac , but remember having the same issue with Flex.
Practically, I keep clearing the browser cache and cleaning the project. I have thought about adding some random number after the swf url so that it never gets cached but haven't implemented it yet. Force of habit I guess, clearing the cache & cleaning the project has become such a routine!
