I just started using IntelliJ IDEA and want to know what is the best keymap while using IDEA on both Linux and OS X systems. The problem is that I want to learn hotkeys for both Linux and OS x and don't know what to choose.

note. On macOS, the default keymap is macOS. There is also IntelliJ IDEA Classic, which is a legacy keymap that resembles the default keymap for Windows. Another keymap specific to macOS is macOS System Shortcuts that follows the Default Mac OS X System Key Bindings conventions.
Shortcut to use Eclipse shortcuts in IntelliJ Idea: Press ctrl+`(also have tilde~ on it, button at the left side of digit 1). Then press 3 (Keymap) and select 2 (Eclipse). Done!
If you choose Code | Reformat Code from the main menu or press Ctrl+Alt+L , IntelliJ IDEA tries to reformat the source code of the specified scope automatically. For more details on how to reformat, or exclude files from formatting, refer toReformat code.
This might be a litle bit subjective topic, but here is some information which might help you decide:
There are two main different predefined keymaps for OS X in IntelliJ (you can find them in Settings/Keymap).
The Mac OS X keymap is similar to Linux/Windows keyboard. So if you need to switch between multiple systems this one is probably better for you.
The Mac OS X 10.5+ keyboard is designed to fit it into the OS X ecosystem so if you are used to general OS X shortcuts, this one will feel more natural and you will easily guess a lot of shortcuts.
Here is a reference for the Mac OS X 10.5+ keymap.
