I can't copy and paste code in Intellij. I've been googling for a couple hours now. Every forum where there is a solution does not work.

Ctrl+X works.
Ctrl+Z works.
Ctrl+V does not work.
Ctrl+C does not work.

I'm using the latest version of Intellij Idea (14.0.2), I'm running Linux lite - posted here because Linux lite is based off Ubuntu and it will be similar.

Here is what happens when I right click
(I don't have enough rep to post images apparently):

I looked in setting and found keymap then typed copy in the search bar and this is what came up:

I had this problem and it was driving me absolutely insane.

If you want to keep using the vim plugin, and have ^c and ^v work for copy / paste like it does in other applications, then you need to go to your settings, and select Other Settings / Vim Emulation (as shown below).... Then make sure that both ^c and ^v are set to be handled by the IDE (not Vim!) and everything should work fine.
