IntelliJ:
- Darkula theme with solarized dark color scheme
- using ideavim with regular osx keymap to get normal shortcuts
- Change the file colors to use the darkula ones
- Changed the background to mirror the vim version of solarized dark, the intellij version wasn't quite the same darkness
- Changed keymap to remove vcs operations pop up and put ctrl+V to toggle block selection mode
