Default key binding doesn't work on Mac OS X about altn8 HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting. Unfortunately I don't have a mac, so please can you try 
this for me:

Restore to original key binding and try with [ctrl][alt][8]

thanks for feedback

No luck with [ctrl][alt][8] (after restoring the original key binding). I also 
tried [shift][alt][8] and [cmd][alt][8], but those also had no effect.

I dug around a bit more, but I wasn't able to find any indication that it's 
possible to set platform-specific default key bindings in plugin.xml. Perhaps I 
should submit an issue to http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/WI?

Thanks for trying. Ok, then I have to add a MacOs specific key binding (it's 
already possible to define, so no need to raise an issue at jetbrains).

I think [CMD][ALT][8] is a good choice.

Because I don't know the correct notation for this key binding, can you please 
do following and report back?

Jetbrains stores the keymaps in a config folder. For IDEA this is

  ${user.home}/.IdeaIC/config/keymaps/

There must be something equivalent for PhpStorm (I guess the '.IdeaC' part is 
different). There you find *.xml file for your key bindings. Can you please 
paste here the "alternate_file" part, something like:

  <action id="alternate_file">
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="alt 8" />
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="..." />
  </action>

Thanks

No problem, here's the relevant XML from my custom keymap:

  <action id="alternate_file">
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="alt 8" />
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="meta alt 8" />
  </action>

Thanks!

Ok, great! Will add "meta alt 8" to next release.

Thanks again.
Regards
Minas.
