Is there any editor command in Intellij that could provide the same selection change like "Select Next Element in Eclipse" (actually expands the selection to the left/rigth elements)? This would be very handy.

Example:
Author author = new Author("Jack", "Daniels");
In Exlipce when filled "Jack" and pressed "enter" - it automatically went to second parameter and let me fill second one. In Intellij I always have to click with mouse, or use arrow keys.
Is there a shortcut in Intellij to make it quicker? I can't find one myself.
Since IntelliJ 2018.2
You can now jump outside the closing bracket or quote with Tab.
(from: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2018/07/intellij-idea-2018-2-macbook-touch-bar-java-11-breakpoint-intentions-spring-boot-version-control-and-more/)
Basically it means if you have:
Author author = new Author("Jack<cursor>");
And you press Tab, the cursor is placed like this:
Author author = new Author("Jack"<cursor>);
Note: it doesn't matter where the cursor is initially, as long as you are somewhere inside the quotes when you press Tab the cursor is moved outside and placed behind it. If you want to enter the next parameter you have to manually type the comma and String.
The option can be found under: Settings -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys and is called Jump outside closing bracket/quote with Tab
There are some other useful options there as well like insert pair quote and insert pair brackets.
If you want to go more advanced you can have a look into Live Templates.
I've set emacs mode, but would like to bind command-A to "select all". What is the name of the appropriate Editor Action?
Main Menu > Edit > Find > Select All
The default binding is CTRL+X, H.
There is also a search field at the top of the window to help track down bindings (no snark intended, mentioned just in case you might not have seen it).
Does Excel VBA object model allows for access to keyboard shortcuts to VBA IDE menu items ?
(I would like to create additional item in menu and connect it with choosen shortcut)
For example code below returns "C&lear" which means you can access "Clear" item by typing "l" when the "Edit" group in VBE IDE is active, but you can also access "Clear" by typing "Delete" button alone :
Debug.Print Application.VBE.CommandBars(1).Controls(2).Controls(6).Caption
is there a way to find pragrammaticaly direct shortcut to item in IDE menu ("Delete" in the case above) ? I would like to add item to VBA IDE menu with new custom shortcut ?
Debug.Print Application.VBE.CommandBars(1).Controls(3).Controls(6).Caption
returns "&Immediate Window" but you could also access Immediate Window by direct shortcut "Ctrl+G"
is there a way to find pragrammaticaly direct shortcut to item in IDE menu ("Delete" in the case above)
Yes, there is. Try this
Debug.Print Application.VBE.CommandBars(1).Controls(2).Controls(6).ShortcutText
This will give you Del
Followup from comments:
Dim b As CommandBarButton
Set b = Application.VBE.CommandBars(1).Controls(2).Controls(6)
Debug.Print b.TooltipText
returns:
C&lear (Del)
Similarly,
Set b = Application.VBE.CommandBars(1).Controls(2).Controls(6)
Debug.Print b.TooltipText
returns
Export (Ctrl+E)
I am looking for a way to programatically open the "New Document" dialog in Word 2007. It is the same one you get when you select File->New . You can also open it using the FileNew macro or the "New..." menu command. However, I have been unable to find a way to do this programmatically.
I have tried:
Application.Run MacroName:="FileNew"
and
Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).Show
and
CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=5746).Execute
but both of these open the old dialog, not the new one that word 2007 uses.
If a 'real' VBA command exists for open that dialog, I can't find it. However, I did find this utterly lame workaround via some quick googling:
SendKeys "%"
SendKeys "F"
SendKeys "N"
It does what you want though! Found it here http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/32228837/new-file-dialog-in-word-2.aspx
You could get the Command ID for the button and execute it?
Dim c As CommandBarControl
Set c = CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=18)
c.Execute
Control ID 18 is the word application ID for the New... button.
I think that you can just use:
Documents.Add
without any parameters.
I always run into this situation: cursor is on line 5 and I want to select everything down to line 16. I have to resort to shift-arrow, arrow, arrow, or use the mouse.
NetBeans has "go to line" (Control-G) but you can't hold down shift while doing that, so no good for selecting. There's also "bookmarks," but same problem.
Anyone know of a cool trick that solves this problem?
I'm open to alternate tool suggestions for OS X.
You can use Shift-PgDn or Shift-PgUp to select the next "page" of information.
The only thing that comes to mind is to create an editor macro.
Eg:
Tools > Options > Editor > Macros
Click "New" Enter a name:
Enter a name for the macro: select-5-down
For the macro code enter:
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
Click "Set Shortcut" and assign a key binding. I used Alt-M.
Now each click of Alt-M extends the selection by 5 more lines.
