JetBrains IDE keyboard shortcuts

In a JetBrains IDE, Shift pressed twice searches everything, and Alt+Enter (Opt+Enter on a Mac) offers a fix for the code under the caret. These are the default Windows and macOS keymaps from IntelliJ IDEA's reference; the keymap references for PyCharm, PhpStorm and GoLand give the same keys, apart from the two mouse rows marked below. Rider offers a choice of keymaps, one of them named IntelliJ, and every IDE lets you change keys under Settings | Keymap.
