How to call JetBrains action from a Vimscript function?

[JustBarnt]

I'm trying to figure out how to call a JetBrains action such as EditorChooseLookupItem or InsertInlineCompletionAction. I'm sure there isn't currently a way to tell whether there is an inline suggestion active or if the completion menu is active, so I thought I would just run both and see what happens

My goal is trying to make <C-Y> work for inserting from the autocomplete menu or when IntelliSense suggests a line based on context.

Currently I have based of reading the README where it says :action {action_id} would work in the Ex Commandline.

function! ChooseCompletionAction()
    :action EditorChooseLookupItem<CR>
    :action InsertInlineCompletionAction<CR>
endfunction

imap <C-y> <Esc>:call ChooseCompletionAction()<CR>a

It's not a mapping, but a Vim script command, so you don't need the <CR> in :action EditorChooseLookupItem<CR>
You also don't need the leading :, but it shouldn't break your script

@lippfi Rider does have both of those actions. I currently have them bound like this since I haven't been able to get them both to work under one keymap.

" Currently set as two keymaps while I try to find a solution to mapping to <C-y> only.
imap <C-y> <action>(EditorChooseLookupItem) "completes popup items when the completion menu is open
imap <A-y> <action>(InsertInlineCompletionAction) "Completes the inline completions that show through virtual text

Make sure you don't leave those comments at the end of the imap statements in your actual ideavimrc - they're not comments and actually part of the mapping!

@citizenmatt I don't but thank you for mentioning that! I just wanted to put them there in the snippet for clarity! 😄

@JustBarnt so what about the map <C-y> <Action>(EditorChooseLookupItem)<Action>(InsertInlineCompletionAction) option? Is it working?

[JustBarnt]

@lippfi I will try that, I have tried imap <C-y> <Action>(EditorChooseLookupItem)<Action>(InsertInlineCompletionAction) but not map, but that wouldn't make much of a difference would it? It would just map it in all modes right?

[lippfi]

@JustBarnt oh no, sorry, it should be imap for insert mode, you are right
Didn't imap work? I've tried other action sequence as a test, and both of them were executed

[JustBarnt]

@lippfi Yeah imap didn't work with those two actions at all. I have also gotten other sequences as well to work and both were executed. So it seems like this just isn't feasible, it almost as if when one fails to run it just exit the sequence. So I may just have to deal with my current mappings of and haha.

I'll try to debug a have a look tomorrow
