MacOS – shortcut alt+cmd+m is blocked

keyboardmacosshortcut

I use IntelliJ IDEA and the shortcut I am using to "extract a method" seems to be blocked by another application. The shortcut itself is mapped by IntelliJ IDEA.

OS X: 10.10.2, MacBook Pro with english keyboad (and layout)
the shortcut: alt+cmd+m

When I press this combination nothing happens, no other app is reacting either.

I already unchecked all shortcuts in the system preferences that could block IntelliJ IDEA shortcuts. I also quit almost all running applications, no success.

Is there a way to find which program could be blocking this shortcut. I am pretty good with the shell in case there is some find/grep stuff to make this happen.

You need 1Password v3.6.5 or newer to have single keystroke log in to work with Safari 5.1 (Lion or not)

MacOS – Safari: swap alt modifier with cmd

You can use Karabiner with a private.xml such as this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <appdef>
    <appname>SAFARI</appname>
    <equal>com.apple.Safari</equal>
  </appdef>
  <item>
    <name>Swap ⌥↩︎ and ⌘↩︎</name>
    <identifier>SwapAltEnterAndCmdEnter</identifier>
    <only>SAFARI</only>
    <autogen>
      __KeyToKey__
      KeyCode::RETURN, VK_COMMAND | ModifierFlag::NONE,
      KeyCode::RETURN, ModifierFlag::OPTION_L
    </autogen>
    <autogen>
      __KeyToKey__
      KeyCode::RETURN, VK_OPTION | ModifierFlag::NONE,
      KeyCode::RETURN, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L
    </autogen>
  </item>
</root>

You can find the manual here to know how to edit the private.xml file and update your configuration.

You have to check the small checkbox of the newly defined rule to make it work.
