Navigation Back and Forward not working at Intellij IDEA

I am new to Intellij IDEA and Navigation Back(Ctrl+Alt+Left) and
Forward(Ctrl+Alt+Right) not working (tried in version 14 & 15),
but settings seems to be okey. How to make it work?

Intel Graphics uses these hotkeys for rotating the screen(Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right are used to rotate the screen 90 degree Left/Right). I have disabled Graphics hotkey, but still I was not able to use these hotkey in Intellij IDEA, then I changed the hotkey for Intel Graphics(Ctrl+Alt+F2/F3). Now I am able to Navigate Back and Forward with Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right.

In Gnome Ctrl + Alt + Left / Right are bound to switch-to-workspace-left/right per default.
To remove these keybindings, call:

 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left "['']"
 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "['']"

Still applicable in 2020... What worked for me was to not only disable the Intel Graphics system hotkeys, but to enable them first, change them to something that is not currently in use and then disable them back. Simply disabling them did not work for me.

In Windows press CTL + ALT + F12 to opens Intel control panel. Go to options and disable hot keys.

Note: If you need to enable hot keys back (CTL + ALT + F12 will not work), go to Start menu in Windows paste Intel Graphics and run one of these files: Gfxv4_0.exe, GfxUIEx.exe, Gfxv2_0.exe. Intel Graphics

You can solve the problem without hacking systemwide keymap. In IntelliJ go to File > Settings > Keymap in which you can assign keyboard/mouse shortcuts into actions.

Also you can choose from other existing keymaps for example Gnome if you are using Ubuntu.

Tagging onto Amaresh Narayanan's answer. I also had to change the hotkeys as disabling alone did not work (changed screen rotation to ctrl+alt+8 and ctrl+alt+9, just something that is hard to mistype).

My fix was to go into Intel Command Center and change the hotkeys.

Beware that ctrl+alt+f12 lead me to the OLD Intel's settings manager on Windows. At the time of writing, there's Intel Command Center and Intel Control Panel, the latter of which editing the settings did not work and was the shortcut ctrl+alt+f12.

Right Click on Desktop => Graphic Options => Hot Keys => Disable

Use Shift + Alt + Left or Shift + Alt + Right instead.

To use, backward/forward command in intellij. you have to disable hot keys.

> desktop->right click of any corner->graphics options->hot keys->disable/enable

A potential cause for this can also be VMware Workstation. Its default key combination for special VM commands is CTL + ALT. This will override any hotkeys that involve CTL + ALT on the virtualized system. The key combination can be rebound from Edit>Preferences>Hotkeys.

My specific version of VMware workstation is 12 Pro.

In case you are using Xubuntu, open [Window Manager], go to [keyboard], and remove/change the key combination for [Left Workspace] and [Right Workspace]. This will allow Intellij to use the hotkey.

In the Case of Mac, Go To

Preferences -> KeyMap -> Main Menu -> Navigate

Change Back & Forward to the shortcuts you prefer

The most recent solution is to update the Intel Graphics Command Center version and then disable hotkeys:

What are you seeing? Applications such as PHPStorm* and JetBrains* have their Ctrl + Alt hotkeys disabled after installing the Intel® Graphics Command Center for the first time.

How to fix it: This issue is resolved in Intel® Graphics Command Center version 1.100.2970.0 and newer. Install the latest version of the Intel® Graphics Command Center in the Microsoft Store.

If somebody happens to use awesomewm its default configuration is using MPD plugin which steals Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right shortcuts. Check your rc.lua configuration.
