IntelliJ IDEA mac os keymap ^ not working

I am running

IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.1 Build #IC-145.597, built on March 29, 2016 JRE: 1.8.0_40-release-b132 x86_64 JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

and i use the Mac OS X keymaps.

While most of the shortcuts work as expected some of them are still bound to the OS's functions, rather than the IDE's actions.

For example when i type Control(^)+Space instead of code completion it changes the OS X's input language. Additionally, when i pre Control(^) + Right/Left Arrow (->|<-) instead of navigating between the open tabs, nothing happens.

I think for some reason the Control(^) is bound to Mac's actions.

Is there any way i can fix this?

Thanks in advance

Ctrl+Space works fine for me, but the other doesn't. "Is there any way i can fix this?" Yes, assign another shortcut. It's annoying, I know, but I wouldn't bother it that much. Would be wasted time and nerves :D. - Tom
Shortcuts on the OS have precedence over Intellij. So just disable the ones in the SO. - dambros

You can go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts and disable the system shortcuts that interfere. When they are disabled there, IntelliJ IDEA can receive them.
