friends. I have installed Intellij-Idea 14 on my Linux Mint 17 distribution. All is great but I can't select text with Shift + arrays. The behavior of the Shift button is the same with the Ctrl button. Also the cursor is changed frequently from carret to "Insert type". Sometimes the cursor selects the text just with arrays without Shift-keypress. I tried to change the keymap from Settings->Appearance and Behavior, but no one of them not resolved my problem. This problem is present not only in code editor. It is present in tool windows, consoles etc. In other applications from my OS there are no problem.
Press Alt+Shift+Insert . From the main menu, choose Edit | Column Selection Mode. From the context menu of the editor, choose Column Selection Mode.
You can use ⌃⌘G (macOS), or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+J to select all matching words in the document rather than selecting one at a time. You can use ⌃⇧G (macOS), or Alt+Shift+J (Windows/Linux) to remove the selection from the last selected occurrence.
You can click the mouse in the editor to set the caret to the desired position and drag the mouse to select a continuous text block. By default, you can only set the caret at characters, whitespaces, and tabs in the current document.
The problem was in "VIM emulator". It was activated by "Ctrl + Alt + V" keypress. I deactivated it from Tools -> Vim Emulator
