Background
First of all, thank you for creating IdeaVim - I use it extensively and it's been incredibly helpful in my daily workflow.
When I forked the repository and attempted to build it, I noticed numerous deprecation warnings and type interface warnings in the build process. I took the initiative to address these issues to help improve the overall code quality and reduce build noise.
After reading the CONTRIBUTING.md guide, I realized there might be some confusion on my part regarding whether I should have created a discussion or filed an issue before starting this work. I decided to go ahead and submit this PR directly, but I apologize if I didn't follow the proper protocol. Please let me know if there's a preferred process I should have followed for this type of maintenance work.
I hope these changes are helpful. This is my first contribution, so any feedback would be appreciated!
