Currently, I can add bookmarks on Itellij by the shortcut key ctrl+f11. For removing that bookmark, I need to go to that line and press the same shortcut key. Now I want to delete all bookmarks at once without removing them one by one.
How do I remove all bookmarks from Intellij? Is there any shortcut?
I got the answer here:
Shift+F11 (Show bookmarks), select all bookmarks with Shift, hit Delete.

My configuration indents with four spaces, and I want to keep that. Occasionally (e.g. in a Makefile) I want to input a literal TAB character.
How can I force the IntelliJ-IDEs to input a tab or space, when it would not do so when I hit tab or space in that instance?
You seem to be asking two questions here:
1. How do I force IntelliJ IDE to input a tab, when it would not do so when I hit tab?
and
2. How do I force IntelliJ IDE to input a space, when it would not do so when I hit space?
I don't understand how the second case can arise. However, I have provided a solution to it as well.
Case 1. Insert a tab character when an IntelliJ IDE wants to replace it with spaces due to configuration
Solution
Use search and replace.
Details
Place the cursor where you want the tab to be
Press the X key
Select the X you just typed
From the main menu, choose Edit | Find | Replace to bring up the search and replace pane
Make sure there is an X in the search field
Enter \t in the replace field
Be sure the option Regex is checked
Be sure the option In Selection is checked
Click the Replace button
Case 2. Insert a space character when an IntelliJ IDE won't just let you type one (???)
Solution
Use search and replace.
Details
Place the cursor where you want the space to be
Press the X key
Select the X you just typed
From the main menu, choose Edit | Find | Replace to bring up the search and replace pane
Make sure there is an X in the search field
Enter a single space into the replace field
Be sure the option In Selection is checked
Click the Replace button
Install the plugin for Makefile support: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9333-makefile-support
When I tried it today, this automatically use hard tabs in the editors for Makefile files.
Open another text editor, type a tab, and then copy and paste into the PyCharm editor. In MacOSX this worked for me using both Sublime Text 2 and TextEdit.
I can't think of any "direct" way. Probably the easiest way that I can think of is to write a Live Template to do it. See the help page on Live Templates for more information. When you write it, you may need to copy and paste a tab character in from another application.
However, when I tried it, IDEA saw it as just empty text and would not save it. So I used a variable with the "capitalize" function to capitalize a tab character.
Here's the template I created that you can paste into your templates. Now I type tab, hit the Tab key and I get a tab character. Of course you can change the abbreviation.
<template name="tab" value="$TAB$" description="Enter a tab Character" toReformat="false" toShortenFQNames="true">
<variable name="TAB" expression="capitalize(" ")" defaultValue=" " alwaysStopAt="false" />
<context>
<option name="OTHER" value="true" />
</context>
</template>
You could extend the idea to have multiple ones that enter multiple tabs. For example tab to enter 1 tab, tab2 for 2 tabs, etc.

There may also be a way to hack a macro to do it. You could then assign the macro to a keyboard shortcut. I'll see if I can figure something out and update this if I do.
Use the menu option: Edit -> Convert Indents -> To Tabs.
Whenever I edit a makefile I do the "to tabs" conversion before I save the file.
UPDATE: Really sadly, I think the generated character still gets converted to spaces... Am checking...
There is an Action in JetBrains IDEs to enter a Tab character.
Here are the steps to use the Tab character action: (discovered in PyCharm 2020.3)
Double-tap the Shift key OR Help -> Find Action...
Type the 3 characters tab
Click on the action that is called Tab and shows the icon for the Tab character...
It remembers the last action you did, so if you have several tabs to add, you can get into a quick process by doing ShiftShift then Return each time.
Answer based on #Morfic's comment to the question. I think this is the cleanest and most sensible reply here so I figured it deserves a place as an answer (and needless to say, it worked for me).
If they're different types of files you could configure File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code style -> Tabs and Indents for each one to use either space or tab depending on how you want it.
One way to do this is to copy a TAB character from another text editor, then right click in your PyCharm file and use Copy / Paste Special -> Paste as Plain Text (Ctrl+Alt+Maj+V)
I guess this was not available in older PyCharm versions, because no other answer proposed it. Regular paste (Ctrl+V) doesn't work (replaced by spaces), but this one works. The function will also bypass other automatic formatting.
Inspired of Clare's suggestion,
assign the left tab key after finding 'tab' action.
At Actions tab, search by 'tab' and move your up/down arrow key and place there.
Then type Ctrl+1, you will see a popup. Select as follows and click OK.
Then, you might be asked "Do you want to remove other assignments?" if Tab key was already assigned. Click Leave because your usage won't conflict with the existing setup.
One of the more annoying aspects of IntelliJ for me is how the default way to delete a portion of text I highlight with my mouse is to press shift+delete, rather than simply delete. I'm aware that I can go to Preferences --> Keymap to customize controls like this, but I'm not sure exactly which function to change and how to set it to the delete key.
I'm using the 2016.1.3 Community Edition for OS X.
I figured out what was going on — I had rather absentmindedly installed the IdeaVIM plugin, which adds weird (vim-like) keybindings, one of which is that you need to press shift+delete to delete a highlighted portion.
In IntelliJ IDEA, one of the more helpful commands I've found is 'Shift-Enter' - it effectively moves the cursor to the end of the line, and starts a new line, thus not affecting the text on the current line.
I'd like to re-create this in Atom, but I can't seem to figure out how one would go about doing so. It doesn't look like you can have multiple editor actions for a given key combination, and I'm not sure if I simply can't find the esoteric editor command I'm looking for.
How can I recreate the behavior of shift-enter in IntelliJ for Atom?
As it so happens, I stumbled across the shortcut: You can use cmd-enter to do the same action. I'm not sure what the underlying command is, but I hope this is helpful to other people!
You can recreate this behaviour by adding this to your keymap:
'atom-workspace atom-text-editor:not([mini])':
'shift-enter': 'editor:newline-below'
Detailed answer;
Freshly open atom editor
Open Keymap option
Copy this and paste this;
'atom-workspace atom-text-editor:not([mini])':
'shift-enter': 'editor:newline-below'
Click save and close the file
Press Shift and enter, Now you'll be able to form a new line below the line you currently in are regardless of the place you are typing in.
In Sublime Text I can arbitrarily select a set of lines and then use ⌘+L to expand the selection to the full lines. Is there a similar command in PHPStorm / WebStorm? (I'd like to map that command to a keyboard shortcut.)
I know PHPStorm has the option "Select Line at Caret", but that selects only one line.
Update
Nowadays (welcome 2020) Go to Preferences > Keymap. Change or add the value to
Add Carets to Ends of Selected Lines => CMD+SHIFT+L to have it behave like Sublime Text so it looks like
Old Answer
This is as close as I could get it (before 2020):
Go to Preferences > Keymap. Search for Clone Caret Above/Below.
On a Mac, it looks like this
The keys are:
CMD+SHIFT+CTRL+ARROW_UP for Clone Caret Above
CMD+SHIFT+CTRL+ARROW_DOWN for Clone Caret Below
Click on Apply and it will work
With WebStorm 11 (at least) the multi-caret keyboard shortcut is:
Ctrl then Ctrl+Arrow Up (or click & drag with the middle mouse button/scroll wheel)
then to select the full lines:
Home then Shift+End
which you could even create as a macro with a keyboard shortcut.
I used to accidentally activate the multi-caret all the time (I scroll with Ctrl+Up/Down), so I knew how to do part of it, but it took me ages to figure out that extra Ctrl tap at the beginning.
Hold down Alt + Shift and left click on the lines you want to select. This will put multiple cursors on the editor. Now you can use the Select Line at Caret option you mentioned to select all those lines.
You can find more about multiple selections here.
This is currently not possible with a selection. However, you can still do that from the keyboard. Instead of doing selections set up a shortcut for Clone Caret Above (Alt+Shift+U for me) and Clone Caret Bellow (Alt+Shift+D for me). This allows to go up or down a line and add a caret there. So instead of selecting each line, you directly move the caret there and clone it.
I am also coming from Sublime Text and missing that feature, but this worked also pretty well.
I'm testing out Aptana Studio to do some javascript development I want to know if there is a shortcut to delete a whole line. Or if there is a way to create some kind of macro to do it.
I am running windows, and I know that I can click Ctrl+Shift+Del but that doesn't actually do what I want it to do. In VS when you click Shift+Del it doesn't matter where the cursor is on the line it will delete the whole line.
To do the same in Aptana I need to:
Click Home to get me to the beginning of the line
Click Ctrl+Shift+Del to delete the content of the line
Click Ctrl+Shift+Del to delete the line
This may seem small, but I do this action all the time in VS and I've grown accustomed to it.
Anyone have any ideas to help me out?
I just figured it out:
It's quite simple: Ctrl+D
Also if you want to change the key binding you can
Go to menu Window -> Preferences
Go to General -> Keys
Find Command 'Delete Line' and then bind it to your desired key combo(like Shift+Delete)
