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.

Install the IdeaVim plugin After you restart the IntelliJ IDEA, Vim is enabled and the editor starts operating in the Vim mode. To disable it, deselect Tools | Vim in the main menu.
IdeaVim is great, but it is still just a substitute for the 'Real Thing'. There are a couple of issues and problems, some of which can be worked around. For one IdeaVim is limited in its functionality. Plugins and various commands that you would know from Vim simply won't work.
IdeaVim is a Vim emulation plugin for IntelliJ Platform-based IDEs.
As of IdeaVim 0.35 (released 2014-05-15), key mappings in ~/.ideavimrc are supported. You can put source ~/.vimrc in that file if you want to include mappings from ~/.vimrc.
