Some applications ignore Xmodmap settings












1















I am using the following ~/.Xmodmap



keycode 133 = Mode_switch
keycode 134 = Mode_switch
keysym h = h H Left
keysym l = l L Right
keysym k = k K Up
keysym j = j J Down
keysym w = w W Prior
keysym s = s S Next
keysym a = a A Home
keysym d = d D End
keysym BackSpace = BackSpace BackSpace Delete


and it works as expected (eg. Win+D for End) for almost all applications, but not for PyCharm or IntelliJ. I suppose not for Java. How can that be fixed?

    I can't reproduce this with Ubuntu 18.04, X server 1.19.6, PyCharm 2018.3.4 running with OpenJDK 10.0.2.

It's a plugin (IdeaVim) that gets in the way. It works as expected with the plugin disabled.
