Escape is a shortcut I do not want in pycharm, how to change?

Question

In pycharm escape switches me to the editor window, how to change this?

Answer 1

No, currently you cannot easily change the behavior - Escape is, unfortunately, hardcoded for the "Jump to Editor" action. There is an open discussion on the topic (since 2013):

• Add the ability to bind "Jump to Editor" to a key other than escape
• Jump to editor shortcut in Intellij IDEA

There are though some workarounds for some of the screens you are pushing Escape in - for instance - Terminal.
