IntelliJ 15 - How use Mac native file path browser?

Question

How does one configure IntelliJ 15 to use the Mac native file path browser (for selecting files) rather than the IntelliJ file browser? I am using IntelliJ 15.0.1 and Mac OS 10.11.1. Thanks, Ron

Answer 1

Follow these steps to enable the native OS X file chooser in IntelliJ:

• Either use the top-level Menu: Help -> Find Action... ; Or Hit ⌘+Shift+A
• Search for Registry...
• Find ide.mac.file.chooser.native key and set its value to true using the checkbox next to it
