Bobko IntelliJ keymap plugin

The main file you're looking for: src/keymaps/bobko-keymap.xml

Purpose of the plugin:

1. Being able to define custom IntelliJ shortcuts and not to worry that IntelliJ will eventually loose them.
2. Version control the keymap.

Features of the plugin:

1. Unification between macOS and Linux. For every binding that uses alt, there is analogical binding but with command. This way muscle memory is preserved between macOS and Linux.
2. Don't use F-keys, because they are hard to reach on macOS (normally F-keys control the media/system on macOS).

Tips:

1. Drag and drop zip file into IntelliJ IDEA to install plugin
