IntelliJ 2018.1 "Esc" shortcut stopped working

Question

After update to IntelliJ 2018.1 the Esc shortcut (which is correctly key-mapped to "escape" in the settings) isn't able to set back the focus on the editor window.

Does this happened to me only? Someone have a solution to repristinate that functionality?

Answer 1

I found a solution for this problem on i3wm, https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000177984-Focus-issue-with-Intellij-Idea-2018-1

I want also to add that sometimes after opening new project I have to restart the i3wm environemnt ( there is a shortcut that does that )
