This is happening because of this line in kinto.py:

K("C-n"): K("Alt-Insert"), # Generate code...

This remaps Ctrl-N to Alt-Insert in Jetbrains. Line 218 in the current default config file. https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto/blob/e106710afb32a395b53a081d95b5866db717aea8/linux/kinto.py#L218

I’m not familiar with Jetbrains myself, so I’m not sure why that’s there, but everything in the Kinto config is meant to mimic the shortcuts from the equivalent macOS app.

If you really want to reassign that shortcut combo you can just comment out that line and restart Kinto. That specific combo remap would no longer be active, and you could assign Ctrl-N without interference. But generally it’s a better idea to consider why you are using a pre-assigned remapped shortcut for something else.
