In order to narrow line height for project view, I enable internal actions. However default go to implementation keymap "Ctrl+Alt+Click" opens an Intellij editor implementation class property popup.
Popup example
Since I'm used to this keymap for "Go to implementation" I want to keep it. But I couldn't find a way to disable other behavior.
How can I disable it? Or is there a way to change keymap for it?
You can remove a shortcut in the settings.
Navigate to File | Settings | Keymap Main Menu | Tools | Internal Actions | UI | UI Inspector, right-click on the item and select Remove Ctrl+Alt+Click.

I have been using VSCode for Java development for past 1 year. But now, I want to use Intellij for my work. In VSCode, I changed some shortcuts such as endOfLine to ALT+F, startOfLine to ALT+D and they are working fine. But In Intellij, I changed these commands exactly same as in my VSCode but instead of working, these shortcuts are triggering options in the top bar like File, Edit, View etc.
Is there any way by which I can give preference to my custom keymaps over default keymaps in Intellij. Please note that I want to use only ALT key with my custom keymaps.
Disable these options:
Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Enable mnemonics in menu
Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Enable mnemonics in controls
Alt + letter shortcuts are commonly used for mnemonics.
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3.2 and cannot find any tool for show popup window or prompt when hovering over a button. Which setting should be turned on/off for this?
For example i wish to see what does button with wrench mean on hover it
Disable the Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Support screen readers option.
I don't think I understand your problem, but under File, Settings, Editor, Code Editing you may find what you are looking for. There is a checkbox there to show quick documentation on hover.
I would like the debugger menu (with the step over and step into etc) buttons up in the top menu next to the run/debug/stop buttons. Is there any way to make this happen? I can move then entire debugging pane up top. But that is not what I want. I just want the icons up top like other IDE's have.
this is a different question than How do I move the toolbar in IntelliJ?
I am not asking how to move the existing toolbar, I'm asking how to add the debug buttons to the toolbar up top.
It's not possible at the moment. Feel free to create feature request on YouTrack: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.
2022 UPDATE
It is possible now as JetBrains has added highly-customizable functionality for controlling commands in menus and toolbars.
For Windows/Linux: File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Menus and Toolbars
For Mac: IntelliJ IDEA | Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Menus and Toolbars
Additional info on the IntelliJ website.
How do I disable the menu appearing in the lower lefthand corner of the intellij window?
Is this called the tool menu?
I use hot corners on my macbook and am constantly activating it accidentally.
There is a Registry key for that, you can either add
-Dide.windowSystem.showTooWindowButtonsSwitcher=false
into .vmoptions (Help | Edit Custom VM Options) or you can press Help | Find Action | Registry, Enter (or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+/) and trigger it in the dialog (start typing the key name for the speed search):
This menu can be also disabled by disabling the status bar:
This should be obvious, but I can't see how to do it. Just want the project browser to stay in sync with the current file I'm editing.
I'm using IdeaVIM plugin in case that's causing any issues, though I think it's just default value not to sync.
Project view has an option to Autoscroll from Source under the Gear icon. If you prefer manual sync, use Navigate | Select In... menu or the corresponding keyboard shortcut.
The manual sync can be found in Navigate | Select In... The keyboard shortcut would be ALT-F1 1 ESC (the '1' selects the project windows, the ESC goes back to the editor window).
