Intellij IdeaVim change keys

Question

I would really like to be able to use IdeaVIM but I am unable to figure out where I can set my custom vim key mappings. For example instead of using Esc I would like to use Ctrl-C and instead of using hjkl I like to use wasd.

I have all these already set in my .vimrc but IdeaVIM failed to load them. I can copy them over manually to whatever file is needed but there is no documentation on how to do this.

I've done this myself, and its pretty easy in IntelliJ 11. I know that in previous versions (9, maybe?) setting up keymap values is significantly different.

In IntelliJ 11 you can do the following:

1. Go to Settings
2. Select Keymap from the left menu
3. Search for Exit Insert Mode on the right side and associate whatever key you want to use, such as CTRL-C
