Answer 1

1. Save your current project as folder-based project you should have .idea folder.
2. Replace content of .idea/codeStyleSettings.xml with your settings.

Answer 2

I could not make the other solution work for Intellij IDEA 15.

I had to create a code scheme with the same name (let's say {your_code_scheme}):

File > Other settings > Default settings and then select Manage... after "code scheme" dropdown and Save as.

Then, the last step consists in replacing the newly created file in ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea15/codestyles/{your_code_scheme}.xml by the correct one.
