i use the vim plugin for intellij as well and the first time you press an IDE shortcut that happens to be a vim shortcut also, there's a tiny popup that asks you what you want to do: either keep the IDE shortcut or switch to the vim shortcut. maybe this helps!

Another trick I use frequently is to map a shortcut to activate/deactivate the vim plugin on the fly, which allows me to keep using some non-vim shortcut and behavior (especially search or selection) without having to go deep into configuring some vim files.

You can set them in an .ideavimrc, then you don't have to go through it on a new machine.
