intellij - keymap / hotkey / shortcut per module / project

Question

I have many projects

I use a hotkey to deploy files built externally to my deploy folder, as intellij is not doing that or is doing that very very unreliably and slowly.

so say in project AI have a shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + Z to deploy all files I need to the deploy folder with a shell script. In Project BI have a different shell script (obviously) to deploy all I need. But I dont want to create a new shortcut, I want to reuse CTRL + SHIFT + Z but that doesn't seem to work

Is there a way to define a shortcut / hotkey on module basis? or a different solution?

Answer 1

It is not possible at the moment, you can set several different keyboard layouts and switch them manually. Also there is a feature request to provide project level keymap: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-127090

Answer 2

I just use always the similar ant build file in all projects doing a simple copy, and assign the shortcut to that ant build file:

so in each project I have a build.xml in the root with this content

I guess it works because the "target name" is always the same in each build.xml

<project name="joomlaPHC" default="copy-css" basedir=".">
    <target name="copy-css"
            description="copies css files" >
        <copydir src="/home/myuser/IdeaProjects/MYPROJECT/src/public" dest="/var/www/html/MYPROJECT.local/public"/>
    </target>
</project>

the shortcut seems to work

don't forget to assign the jdk

hope it helps
