Access Your JetBrains IDE Remotely with Projector (blog.jetbrains.com)

I really wanted to like this product, but like most remote solutions it just doesn't work well enough.

I use IntelliJ on my Mac. After setting up IntelliJ with Projector I ran into several issues:

* Copy/paste didn't work even with the client app (Now that I think about this, it might be because the macOS keymap wasn't enabled in IntelliJ by default)

* Green regions often appeared and stayed until the window was resized

* Scrolling is very sensitive

* Occasional glitching of the UI

I would love to ditch IntelliJ on my MacBook because it often hangs or slows down when IntelliJ is indexing. Working on a powerful remote server would be ideal for me if I could find a tool that works well enough.

Maybe in a few year it'll be possible.
