I use IntelliJ IDEA on Linux and I noticed 2 keymaps who look very similar : Default and Default XWin.
Which one should I use on Linux and what are the differences? And is it possible to compare keymaps (to compare Default KDE and Default XWin for example).
Here are the differences between some of the keymaps

I found out the differences between the keymaps in jetbrains suite of tools by
for example, Edit -> Find -> Show Usages in Default, shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+F7,
but in Linux, Ctrl+Alt+F7 will switch to tty7,
so in Default XWin, the shortcut should change to Ctrl+Alt+7
A difference that I found in debugging: on Ubuntu with xfce as GUI, if Keymap is set as Default XWin, Alt+Left Click to evalute the expression or variable value will not work as usual. Setting the Keymap to Default works perfectly.
