I want to delete all lines that contains annotation. I see there is a shortcut to delete line/selection. But how do i pass regex to the delete line shortcut so that all line that starts with # gets deleted?
I want to use like this
^#
You have to use replace option.
Use Ctrl+R to open replace option, select regex(at the left side of search box there is a * sign). Enter #.*$ in replace box. Keep the replace with box empty.
The Regex means any line starting with # followed by zero or more characters(digit/non digit/letter etc) and ended by end line.

I am trying to remove all whitespace using Intellij IDEA Ultimate 2019.1.2. I have a simple text file with json data.
I've tried using find and replace with regex enabled, but to no avail.
You can press the CTRL + R to open the replace panel, and enter a whitespace in the first input field, leave the second input field empty.
Then click the replace all button.
If you want remove all whitespace including line break, you can enter \s and enable the regex option.
Is there any way to select the whole line at caret in IntelliJ 15? I know you can select the current word (ctl + w), go to beginning/end of line but I can't find a current line selection feature.
Simply hit
ctrl+c
Note that for this to select the whole line, you need to ensure that nothing is already selected; otherwise it'll work as an usual "copy" command.
move caret to line
on Windows, press ctrl+shift+a .
This popup appears, where you find Select Line at Caret
for quick access, you can specify a shortcut in Settings
I would like to also add the following from JetBrains website. Because, that what i was looking for here, but no one mentioned it.
1- To select text from the current caret position to the beginning/end of
the current word:
Ctrl+Shift+Left, Ctrl+Shift+Right.
2- To select text from the caret
position to the beginning/end of the current line:
Double-click Ctrl and press Home/End
3- To select text from the current
caret position to the top/bottom of the screen:
Ctrl+Shift+Page Up, Ctrl+Shift+Page Down.
If none of the above are working, I suggest using end and home keys in combination with shift allowing you to select lines quickly.
Go to the end of the line and hit Ctrl+W. If you'll hit Ctrl+W at the beginning of the line it will select only one word.
Not a keyboard feature, but nice to use:
to select the whole row just click on row number on the left of the code.
In addition to that you can click and drag selection.
Moreover, you can doubleclick on the number of the first line of method which results selection of the whole method.
I'm looking for a "select each occurrence of" something I'm trying to find. For example a file has a bunch of text that includes "abc", I type ctrl+f and type abc. I can either find the first one or the next one, but I would like to "multi-cursor" each one in the file.
I've already found the feature that lets me highlight text and ctrl+d to get the next that matches the selection, but if there's a hundred of these things - well that gets quite tiresome.
Ctrl+Shift+L Select all occurrences of current selection
editor.action.selectHighlights
Ctrl+F2 Select all occurrences of current word
editor.action.changeAll
Please refer for more information here.
Alt+Enter Select all occurrences of find match
editor.action.selectAllMatches
This has the added benefit of working with Regular Expression searches, since selecting occurrences of a word of a selection cannot leverage the Regex functionality.
I know this thread is here for a while now, but I think this will be helpful:
This thread on Github talks exactly about it:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/5715
Summary:
Ctrl+F --> Open find widegt.
Alt+R --> Turn on regex mode.
Input search text --> Regex text or normal text.
Alt+Enter --> Select all matches.
Left arrow --> Ajust cursors.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the ---selected text.)
Edit text --> Do what you want.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the -selected text.)
Shift+Home --> Select modified text.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the selected text.)
Ctrl+C --> Copy selected text.
Ctrl+N --> Open a new tab.
Ctrl+V --> Paste.
well , basically the Ctrl+Shift+L will select all occurrences of word in the document BUT
there is some coool way to selecting them growingly:
if you hit Ctrl+d it will selects the second match , it you hit Ctrl+d again it will match the third one and so on ....
For Mach User:
COMMAND + Shift+ L Select all occurrences of the current selection
COMMAND + F2 Select all occurrences of the current word
For mac users::
Control + Command + G
^ + ⌘ + G
Ctrl+F2 is what worked for me for VSCode on Windows 10.
While Ctrl+Shift+L just opened some Language selector.
If you are searching in a single file, use simple search using Ctrl+F, then even if you close the search box, simply keep pressing F3 to go to next match and so on. F3 just repeats previous search and selects your next match.
On Mac:
Ctrl+F to open the find menu in top right:
Select the third option within the input and add the regex you want to match.
Ctrl+Shift+L to select all items that match.
Hope that helps!
Is there a way on IntelliJ to remove surrounding parenthesis, brackets, quotes, etc? For example, if I have:
"string"
Is there any way to remove the matching quotes and get this?
string
Not directly, but the following replace expression (ctrl+R, tick Regex) might help:
Search for: "(.*)"
replace with: $1
Edit: I found an easier way (plugin code with regex left below for nostalgia)
Webstorm has extend selection and shrink selection
on mac they are bound to alt-upArrow and alt-downArrow
You can use extend selection to select the content and the quotes/braces/parens, then record a macro (i called mine unwrap) and perform the following actions:
shrink selection once
copy
extend selection once
paste
then you can save the macro and add a key binding.
Any time you want to unwrap something, you can just extend the selection until it includes the outer braces, then hit your hotkey and it will replace the selection including the braces with their inner contents.
I made a mini-plugin,
which i install/code using live-plugin.
It relies on this Regex:
[\["'({](.+)['"})\]]
The Regex will also often work in the Search/Replace function in webstorm
(with Regex and In Selection checked), but it fails in mysterious cases:
eg. single quotes that are inside parens - even if the outer parens are not in the selection to be considered
IDEA have an action to go to matching brace.
You can create macro with something like: goto next brace - delete one char - goto prev brace - delete one more char.
And then set kb shortcut to this macro.
Splice Sexp, which is Alt+S on Mac.
I'm curious if there is a way to paste text to the end of every line in Sublime 2? And conversely, to the beginning of every line.
test line one
test line two
test line three
test line four
...
Say you have 100 lines of text in the editor, and you want to paste quotation marks to the beginning and end of each line.
Is there an easy way to do this or a plugin that anyone would know of? This would often save me a lot of time on various projects.
Thanks.
Yeah Regex is cool, but there are other alternative.
Select all the lines you want to prefix or suffix
Goto menu Selection -> Split into Lines (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + L)
This allows you to edit multiple lines at once. Now you can add *Quotes (") or anything * at start and end of each lines.
Here's the workflow I use all the time, using the keyboard only
Ctrl/Cmd + A Select All
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + L Split into Lines
' Surround every line with quotes
Note that this doesn't work if there are blank lines in the selection.
Select all the lines on which you want to add prefix or suffix. (But if you want to add prefix or suffix to only specific lines, you can use ctrl+Left mouse button to create multiple cursors.)
Push Ctrl+Shift+L.
Push Home key and add prefix.
Push End key and add suffix.
Note, disable wordwrap, otherwise it will not work properly if your lines are longer than sublime's width.
Let's say you have these lines of code:
test line one
test line two
test line three
test line four
Using Search and Replace Ctrl+H with Regex let's find this: ^ and replace it with ", we'll have this:
"test line one
"test line two
"test line three
"test line four
Now let's search this: $ and replace it with ", now we'll have this:
"test line one"
"test line two"
"test line three"
"test line four"
You can use the Search & Replace feature with this regex ^([\w\d\_\.\s\-]*)$ to find text and the replaced text is "$1".
Use column selection. Column selection is one of the unique features of Sublime2; it is used to give you multiple matched cursors (tutorial here). To get multiple cursors, do one of the following:
Mouse:
Hold down the shift (Windows/Linux) or option key (Mac) while selecting a region with the mouse.
Clicking middle mouse button (or scroll) will select as a column also.
Keyboard:
Select the desired region.
Type control+shift+L (Windows/Linux) or command+shift+L (Mac)
You now have multiple lines selected, so you could type a quotation mark at the beginning and end of each line. It would be better to take advantage of Sublime's capabilities, and just type ". When you do this, Sublime automatically quotes the selected text.
Type esc to exit multiple cursor mode.
Select all lines you want to add a suffix or prefix.(command+ A to select all the lines)
Press command+shift+L. This will put one cursor at the end of every line and all the selected lines would still be selected.
For adding suffix press command+right and for adding prefix command+left. This will deselect all the earlier selected text and there will only be cursors at the end or start of every line.
Add required text
