Keyboard Shortcuts: Keymaps Comparison (macOS)

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.

To switch between keymaps, choose File | Settings | Keymap on Windows and Linux or JetBrains Rider | Preferences | Keymap on macOS, pick the desired keymap in the Keymaps selector, and click Save.

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:
