Problem loading ~/.ideavimrc from PyCharm

I installed PyCharm on Ubuntu 18.04 by extracting the tarball into /etc/ and creating a shortcut through the Tools menu.

I installed IdeaVim through the marketplace, and the Vim plug-in is working as expected.

Now I want to import my vim settings from my .vimrc. I just copied the .vimrc to ~/.ideavimrc and reloaded my IDE. However, my remappings are not working. I tried sourcing the rc file using :source ~/.ideavimrc, but this doesn't work either.

The only content of my .ideavimrc file is this line:

xnoremap p pgvy

I really hate the paste-setting of vim, so I need this remapping and I'm lost. Thanks for the help.

Solution

  • This was an actual bug with Idea VIM plugin and the .ideavimrc file, found here.

    It has been resolved since.
