To view the keymap configuration, open the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S and select Keymap.

Among all of the predefined keymaps, you will most probably choose one of the following:

  • Visual Studio/ Visual Studio (OSX)— this keymap is recommended for users who:

    • have no experience with other IDEs;

    • have experience with plain Visual Studio;

    • have experience with Visual Studio + ReSharper and who preferred the 'Visual Studio' keyboard scheme in ReSharper.

  • ReSharper/ ReSharper (OSX)— this keymap is recommended for users who have experience with Visual Studio + ReSharper and who preferred the 'ReSharper 2.x/IntelliJ IDEA' keyboard scheme in ReSharper.

  • IntelliJ/ IntelliJ (OSX)— this keymap is recommended for users who have experience with IntelliJ IDEA or some of the JetBrains IntelliJ-platform-based IDEs and who preferred to use the 'Default'/'Mac OS X 10.5+' keymap there.

If you are using Rider on macOS, it is recommended to choose a keymap with the OSX suffix, for example Visual Studio OSX.

You cannot change predefined keymaps. When you modify any shortcut, JetBrains Rider creates a copy of the currently selected keymap, which you can configure. Click to duplicate the selected keymap, rename, remove, or restore it to default values.

A custom keymap is not a full copy of its parent keymap. It inherits unmodified shortcuts from the parent keymap and defines only those that were changed. For information about the keymap files, see Location of user-defined keymaps.

The keymap itself is a list of actions with corresponding keyboard and mouse shortcuts, and abbreviations. To find an action by name, type it in the search field. If you know the shortcut of an action, click and press the key combination in the Find Shortcut dialog.

When consulting this documentation, you can see keyboard shortcuts for the keymap that you use — choose it with the selector at the top of the page:

  1. On the Keymap page of the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, right-click an action and select Add Keyboard Shortcut.

  2. In the Keyboard Shortcut dialog, press the necessary key combination.

    If you want to use Enter, Escape, or Tab, click and select the necessary key or combination. Pressing them in the Keyboard Shortcut dialog will result in the actual action, such as closing the dialog.

  3. If necessary, select the Second stroke checkbox to define a complex shortcut with two sequential key combinations.

  4. Click OK to save the shortcut.

The key combination that you press is displayed in the Keyboard Shortcut dialog, as well as a warning if it conflicts with existing shortcuts.

  1. On the Keymap page of the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, right-click an action and select Add Mouse Shortcut.

  2. In the Mouse Shortcut dialog, move the mouse pointer to the central area and click or scroll as necessary.

  3. Click OK to save the shortcut.

The performed mouse manipulations are displayed in the Mouse Shortcut dialog, as well as a warning if it conflicts with existing shortcuts.

An abbreviation can be used to quickly find an action without a shortcut. For example, you can press Ctrl+Shift+A and type the name of the Jump to Colors and Fonts action to quickly modify the color and font settings of the element under the current caret position. If you assign an abbreviation for this action (like JCF ), you can then type it instead of the full action name.

  1. On the Keymap page of the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, right-click an action and select Add Abbreviation.

  2. In the Abbreviation dialog, type the desired abbreviation and click OK.

If you changed, added, or removed a shortcut for an action, you can reset it to the initial configuration.

  • On the Keymap page of the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, right-click an action and select Reset Shortcuts.

In addition to keymaps distributed with JetBrains Rider, you can install other keymaps via plugins, for example:

Location of user-defined keymaps

All user-defined keymaps are stored in separate configuration files under the keymaps subdirectory in the JetBrains Rider configuration directory:

Syntax
%APPDATA%JetBrains<product><version>keymaps
Example
C:UsersJohnSAppDataRoamingJetBrainsRider2021.1keymaps
Syntax
~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/<product><version>/keymaps
Example
~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Rider2021.1/keymaps
Syntax
~/.config/JetBrains/<product><version>/keymaps
Example
~/.config/JetBrains/Rider2021.1/keymaps

Each keymap file contains only the differences relative to the parent keymap.

You can use these files to share your custom keymaps with team members or between your IDE instances. Copy the corresponding keymap file and put it in the keymaps directory on another JetBrains Rider installation.

Conflicts with global OS shortcuts

Predefined keymaps do not cover every possible platform, version, and configuration. Some shortcuts can conflict with global system actions and shortcuts for third-party software. To fix these conflicts, you can reassign or disable the conflicting shortcut.

JetBrains Rider detects conflicts with system shortcuts and notifies you with a popup message:

Click Modify shortcuts to open the Keymap settings dialog where you can make the necessary adjustments:

Here are a few examples of possible system shortcut conflicts with the default keymap in JetBrains Rider. Make sure that function keys are enabled on your system.
