The plus / minus signs are gone to expand / collapse regions. The vertical lines to indicate regions are gone too.
The regions are collapsing and all the commands under edit, outlining work fine.
It's just I have to double click on the collapsed region to expand and there's no way to collapse a region with the mouse. Only the shortcut keys (ctrl m, m) or the menu will do it.
I swear it was right this morning but I did something to mess it up. I can't find any option in tools to fix it either.
UPDATE
Now, some files are doing this and other files (both opened at same time) are not doing it. If anyone can explain, I'm all ears.
Press ctrl+, (control plus semicolon) to open the settings. And type Folding Strategy in the setting's search bar. It is set to auto by default. You can set it to always for the controls to be visible at all times, otherwise, it shows only on mouse over.
This same thing happens to me multiple times a day using VS.NET 2015 Pro version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1. Restarting the IDE always restores normal function for a while but the problem always returns, seemingly at random.
UPDATE:
I tried changing the theme from dark to blue and it restored the outlining. I then changed back to dark from blue and the outlining continued to work normally. Still a pain but definitely a lot faster than restarting the IDE.
It happened with me also. One file was just fine and other file (js) was not. I searched it a lot.
Try selecting a method/if check etc and press ctrl+M+H which is short cut for right click outlining > Hide Selection.
You can do it on the whole document as well.
This might be helpful when working on a file which has too much code in it and you are going through different functions again and again. It is painful with scrolling mouse for so long.
You can use short cut for for moving at the start of the method or at the end of the method with the following :
select parenthesis { start or end } and press ctrl+}
Hope this helps.
It works again.
I closed all windows and reopened my code file.
Now it shows the plus minus glyphs again.
I know this is an old post, but I wanted to share a quick solution. if you right click and hover over 'Outlining' and then click 'Collapse to Definition', the widget comes back. Then just press [ctrl] + z to undo and continue where you left off.
With Golang, if the code has some syntactic mistakes that would prevent it from compiling, the language server cannot decide which parts of the code are collapsible, and which not.
Therefore the solution is either switching to the Folding Strategy in VSCode settings to indentation folding, or fixing the syntactic errors.
Simple solution : CTRL + M + O, then CTRL + Z

Google's bigquery editor has keyboard shortcuts. For example ctrl+space composes a new query. I suspect there are more shortcuts, but I haven't found an useful list of them. Does anyone know them?
Ctrl + Space: If no query is open: compose new query. If query editor is open: autocomplete current word.
Ctrl + Enter: Run current query.
Tab: Autocomplete current word.
Ctrl: Highlight table names.
Ctrl + click on table name: Open table schema.
Ctrl + E: Run query from selection.
Ctrl + /: Comment current or selected line(s).
Ctrl + Shift + F: Format query.
(on Mac, replace Ctrl with Cmd)
This is the list from the official documentation: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bigquery-web-ui#keyboard_shortcuts
You can see the shortcuts on the UI.
I found myself constantly refreshing bq page by accidentally hitting F5 as it is commonly used shortcut in many data tools for query/script execution. So in recently published Chrome Extension - BigQuery Mate - I have added F5 to execute query while in query editor.
Just Added:
I realized (a little ago) that one more shortcut is available now that i didn't know or see anyone mentioned before and was not available at a time this question was asked:
While your mouse is over Query Editor - pressing Alt - enters you into mode of copy of any rectangular part of your code. Quite useful!
July, 7 2016 Refresh:
I thought it also can be helpful to refresh this post with some BgQuery Mate keyboard shortcuts:
F5 – run query
Ctrl + F5 – run selection
F1 – help on selected or under-cursor-position keyword/function - opens respective documentation (SQL Version sensitive - Legacy / Standard)
Ctrl + Alt + / and Shift + Ctrl + Alt + / - comment/uncomment outside selection
Contextual Menu
Right Click > BigQuery Mate > Help on selected keyword/function – opens respective documentation (SQL Version sensitive - Legacy / Standard)
Right Click > BigQuery Mate > Preserve Format anywhere in Editor – Preserve Format – adjust Query Text such that further copy/paste preserves casing
I don't know all of them, but this seems a good place to share those I know:
ctrl+enter: runs the query
tab: autocomple
keep ctrl pressed: highlights the tables, clicking on them takes you to it
(note that in Apple ctrl might be the command key - I didn't know about ctrl+space, but it might be overloaded by mac os)
Continuing from Felipe Hoffa's answer above, the following keyboard shortcuts work on the Mac:
ctrl+enter: runs the query (same as Windows)
tab: autocompletes
keep the command key pressed: highlights the tables, clicking on them takes you to it.
Apparently, in the new tabbed view UI, there's two new keyboard shortcuts:
Alt+↑: move line of code up
Alt+↓: move line of code down
There might be others. I found them by accidentally hitting these keys. I can't find any documentation on these shortcuts, or I would include it.
I would like to make this appear when I want to in SQL Server.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for it ? I saw a similar question for the one in Visual Studio where you pressed Ctrl + Shift + Space.
install sql prompt software for that to use like this popup in sql-2005.
In VS2010 I had a shortcut set up Alt+Up/Down to move lines of code up or down, just like I used to have in Eclipse in my Java days.
Now since Power Tools and macros (which is how I set up this shortcut in VS2010) are not available in VS2012, how do I get this to work?
I've seen somebody mentioned that Resharper can do this, but for the love of fire and water, I can't find the command names in the list of commands that can do that.
I have tried ReSharper_MoveUp/MoveDown and that does not move lines up/down:
This moves blocks of text up and down. I just want line-by-line up or down, no fancy logic there.
Before
After ALT+Up (when cursor is on WriteLine line) I would like to see this:
I have seen these threads: What's the equivalent for eclipse's ALT+UP/DOWN (move line) in Visual Studio?, Visual Studio: hotkeys to move line up/down and move through recent changes, but none of the suggested solutions work in VS2012.
Any other ideas?
UPD 7 Nov 2012: . Extensions are catching up with Visual Studio 2012. Now I know at least 3 extensions that provide this functionality:
MoveLine Extension. Link provided by Carl G
Move Line Extension with modifications to 2010 version. By gius
Productivity Power Tools 2012. Have not actually tried this, but this blog post states it does the line move up/down
UPD 15 Nov 2012: Just stumbled across another extension that claims it does what is required here. Have not tried it though: LineMan Extension
UPD 10 May 2015 Just installed VS2015 RC and this is built-in already:
For those who arrived on this question using Visual Studio 2013 or above, the feature is built right into the program. Just use AltUp and AltDown to move the line with your cursor—or the selected lines—up and down.
If you wish to rebind it in Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard, the keys are Edit.MoveSelectedLinesUp and Edit.MoveSelectedLinesDown. You may need to remove your new combination from other existing keys first.
Update: huzzah, Productivity PowerTools VS2012 is now available and offers this functionality (along with another personal favorite, Tools.AddEndTokenAtTheEnd.)
MoveLine Extension (compatible with VS 2012; I had to manually restart my VS in order to see the commands in VS's keyboard shortcut tool.)
Install ReSharper.
Open Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard (as shown in a picture)
Find "ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveUp"
In "Use new shortcut in:" choose: "Text Editor"
Click in "Press shortcut keys:" and press your shortcut (for example Alt+ArrowUp)
Press "Assign" button
Same with with "ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveDown"
P.S. Works fine for single lines and multiple selected lines, but removes selection after moved 1 line. Hope there are way to move multiple lines multiple times in one selection.
If you have Resharper, then you can hit Ctrl + Shift + Alt + ↑ to move the current line up. or Ctrl + Shift + Alt + ↓ to move one line down.
This works in VS 2012 Premium with Visual Studio keyboard scheme in Resharper 7 (7.0.97.60 to
be precise).
Edit: This is mapped to 'ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveUp'/'MoveDown' commands.
In Visual Studio 2017(atleast) I have below
You can use Move Line Command extension.
Just follow formula349's comment:
I was able to get this working with 2012 as-is.
Rename the package to .zip and unzip all files into a folder. Edit the extension.vsixmanifest file and look for the SupportedProducts XML node. Change the Version="10.0" to Version="11.0".
Re-zip the folder contents and rename back to .vsix. Works great!
While a lot of people seem to be recommending misc. Visual Studio Extensions and Resharper, I would like to point out there is a native hotkey that accomplishes this goal. I came to this question trying to find the answer, as my Resharper replaced my default hotkeys with their MoveUp and MoveDown versions.
And while Resharper's hotkeys do move things up and down, they are not what the original poster are looking for, and they are not what I wanted. These hotkeys move methods and blocks of code, not individual lines.
Visual studio has two hotkey commands to move your selected lines upwards or downwards.
These hotkeys are:
Edit.MoveSelectedLinesDown
Edit.MoveSelectedLinesUp
I am using Visual Studio 2013 however, so I am unaware if these exist in an older version. If 2012 does not have these hotkeys then perhaps an extension is the only solution.
Either way, I had an issue locating the exact hotkey within visual studio's list and it took me a good while to find these, so I hope that my solution manages to help someone else in a similar situation to my own.
Shift+Del and then Ctrl+V
Shift+Del does the cut (same as Ctrl+X) operation on the current line on which cursor is positioned.
Then you can use Ctrl+V to paste it at any place you like.
Good thing is that you don't need to select the complete current line, just the cursor needs to be positioned on the line.
One downside to using this shortcut is that you won't be able to see the line moving ( up or down ) lively in front of your eyes.
ReSharper's move up and move down shortcuts are smart - instead of just moving the current line (which can easily result in broken code), it will move the current statement up and down in the list of statements that make up the method body. This is much more powerful than just moving a single line of code.
But this doesn't help you get your statement inside the if block. Here you need to do one of two things.
Firstly, move the statement above the if block, then use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Right to push it down in scope. The statement will now be inside the if block, and you can use up and down to move it around in there. You can also use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Left to pull it up in scope, outside of the if block.
Alternatively, you can put the text caret on the outside of the closing brace of the if block and use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Down to move the brace down, stepping over following statements, including them inside the if block.
These keys can do a lot more than just move a single statement. If you put the text caret on a method or class declaration, Up and Down will move the entire method or class declaration up and down. If you put the text caret in the parameter list of a method, Left and Right will rearrange individual parameters (and then Alt+Enter can invoke the Change Signature refactoring).

Locked. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions.
I did a bit of googling hoping to find a post on IDEA shortcuts similar to Jeff's post on Visual Studio shortcuts (Visual Studio .NET 2003 and 2005 Keyboard Shortcuts), but didn't really spot anything that helped. Hopefully the answers to this question will fill the void.
These are some of my most used keyboard short cuts
Syntax aware selection in the editor selects a word at the caret and then selects expanding areas of the source code. For example, it may select a method name, then the expression that calls this method, then the whole statement, then the containing block, etc.:
Ctrl+W
Basic Code Completion, to complete methods, keywords etc.:
Ctrl+Space
Go to Declaration. Use this to navigate to the declaration of a class, method or variable used somewhere in the code:
Ctrl+B
Introduce Variable Refactoring, to create a variable from an expression. This expression may even be incomplete or contain errors. Since version 8, IDEA intelligently selects a likely expression when no text is selected:
Ctrl+Alt+V
Go to Class, to quickly open any class in the editor:
Ctrl+N
To open any file, not just classes:
Ctrl+Shift+N
Comment/Uncomment current line or selection:
Ctrl+/ and Ctrl+Shift+/
Quick JavaDoc Popup to show the JavaDoc of the method or class at the text cursor:
Ctrl+Q (Ctrl+J on Mac OS X)
Smart Type Completion to complete an expression with a method call or variable with a type suitable in the current Context:
Ctrl+Shift+Space
Rename refactoring to rename any identifier. Can look in comments, text files and across different languages too:
Shift+F6
Select in Popup to quickly select the currently edited element (class, file, method or field) in any view (Project View, Structure View or other):
Alt+F1
Highlight Usages in File. Position the text cursor on any identifier without selecting any text and it will show all places in the file where that variable, method etc. is used. Use it on a throws, try or catch keyword to show all places where the exception is thrown. Use it on the implements keyword to highlight the methods of the implemented interface:
Ctrl+Shift+F7
By far my favourite all purpose shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+A
It does a search as you type through all the commands in intellij. Not only that but when you find the command you want it also displays the corresponding shortcut key next to it!
Here are the Intellij IDEA keyboard shortcuts I find most useful (listed in roughly the order of usage for me):
The shortcut I use the most is Ctrl + B (Go to declaration), to see what a method does, where a variable is declared etc. This is almost always followed by Ctrl + Alt + Left to get back to where I was (Ctrl + Alt + Right works to “go forward” again).
A related navigation shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + B, (Go to implementation). Press it when the caret is at the method name of an interface, and you get a pop-up list of all the places where this method is implemented, and you can select which one you want to go to (if there is only one implementation, you go straight there). The same goes for overridden methods.
The opposite of this is Ctrl + U (Go to super-method/super-class). If the caret is at the implementation of a method in an interface (indicated by the little green interface-symbol in the left gutter), this shortcut takes you to the interface itself.
When I want to see all the places where a method or variable is used (which I want to do a lot), I use Ctrl + Alt + F7 (Show usages). This gives you a pop-up list of all the usages, and you can easily navigate to each one. I prefer this over Alt + F7 (Find usages), which gives you the same information, but in a separate pane below.
To find classes, I use Ctrl + N (Go to class), which lets you search using only the capital letters in the class name (“camel humps”), and * as wildcard.
Yet another shortcut I use, both when reading and writing code, is Ctrl + P (Parameter info) at the arguments of methods and constructors, to see the types and names of the parameters.
When it comes to writing code, I use Ctrl + space (Basic code completion) a lot to auto-complete method names, variable names etc (or simply to see which methods are available for a certain object, by trying to auto-complete directly at the dot following the name of the object).
For searching in the current file I use Ctrl-F (Find - probably the least surprising shortcut in this list), F3/Shift + F3 (Find next/previous) to repeat the search, and Ctrl + Shift + F (Find in path) to search in the whole project.
Ctrl + W (Select successively increasing code blocks) is handy when selecting chunks of code. Repeatedly pressing it selects more and more of the code. Useful when searching, indenting, commenting out code etc.
If there are errors in the file, F2/Shift + F2 (Next/previous highlighted error) will jump to them.
I use the sequence Alt + C, N (Show Changes View) to see which files in the project I have modified compared to the subversion repository. To diff the current file against the version in the subversion repository, I use the sequence Alt + C, S, Y (Compare with the Same Repository Version). In the diff view, I use F7/Shift + F7 to navigate between the changes.
When not in the diff view, I use Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Up/Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Down to jump to the parts of the file that have been changed compared to the checked-out version. At each modification point, you see the corresponding part in the checked-out version in a pop-up window.
Finally, I run JUnit tests using Ctrl + Shift + F10.
Edit: One really useful shortcut that I've only started using in the last few months is Ctrl + E. It brings up a pop-up with the 15 most recently used files, and you just arrow down to the one you want and hit enter to navigate to it.
According to the Jetbrains folks, it will have to be these, as they are for the one wearing the shirt: (Got that from Devoxx)
Help\Productivity Guide
It tells you what are the shortcuts you use/don't use and displays usage statistics. It will guide you to the unknown features.
Some of the time savers:
Alt + Enter : show intention actions (like Eclipse quick fix)
Ctrl + Alt + V : introduce variable (never type the left hand side of an assignment again)
Ctrl + Shift + Space : smart completion ( even two levels down since IntelliJ 8 )
Ctrl + W : select succesively increasing code blocks. Kind of obvious but a real time saver!
The Canoo blog contains some (+8) articles on some more advanced IntelliJ keyboard shortcuts.
The Key Promoter and Shortcut keys list plugins are really helpful for (constantly) learning new IntelliJ keyboard shortcuts.
Try using the Key Promoter plugin. That will help in learning the shortcuts.
Couple of shortcuts apart from the above suggestions:
Alt + Ins: Works consistently to insert anything. (Add a new class, method etc)
Ctrl + Alt + T: Surround code block. Another useful stuff.
This is probably dependent on your development environment, but when doing BlackBerry development I code in IntelliJ and still compile and debug through the BlackBerry JDE. Ctrl + Shift + C is vital in this case as it allows you to copy the full path of the file you are currently editing, making it easy to open the file in the separate dev environment.
Yes, Ctrl + Shift + A is the most useful one. It's a meta shortcut
Within the tool:
"Help -> Default Keymap Reference"
(as suggested by krosenvold)
On the Internet: "IntelliJ IDEA Developers Documentation"
Windows, Linux and Mac keyboard shortcut reference cards for versions 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4.5.
(I knew I had seen and used these reference "cards" before! ;-)
One of my favorites (not shown on the JetBrains cards) is "Ctrl+Shift+{Up or Down Arrow}" to move lines/methods up and down in the source code.
See also "Intellij Idea Keyboard Shortcuts" page on Ward's Wiki.
Shift+Delete deletes the entire line (will 'cut' it to clipboard)
Ctrl+Alt+L to reformat and optimize imports
Ctrl+Shift+J to join lines (pull content of next line up to current line).
Alt + Shift + Insert - switches to column selection mode, allowing the selection of rectangular text fragments (columns)
Ctrl + Shift + Backspace - go to most recent code edit. Hit again to go even further back. Very useful when coding something, browsing other classes for a while and then wanting to go back where we left our code.
Ctrl+E - recently opened files
Ctrl+Shift+E - recently edited files
Ctrl+Shift+V - paste one of the previous values from clipboard
One of my real favorites may not count as a keyboard shortcut exactly. But the "iter" smart template is really great.
basically if you want to iterate though something using a for loop type "iter" then tab to use the live template
itertab
it will figure out the most likely variable you want to iterate over and generate a for loop for it. I'm pretty sure it uses the nearest reference to an object which supports iteration.
Ctrl + F11 invokes a dialog with all alphanumeric keys on the keyboard. Selecting one empty will add the current line to bookmarks and mark the line with selected key.
Shift + F11 invokes a list of bookmarks. Pressing a key takes to associated bookmark.
Ctrl + Shift + Enter - automatically completes the code statement you are typing, inserting the quotation marks, brackets, curly braces and other punctuation as necessary.

If you are coming from Eclipse:
http://tanu.wordpress.com/2010/09/24/moving-from-eclipse-to-intellij-idea/
General documentation and shortcuts are on Intellij's site
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/documentation/index.jsp
Any combination of Ctrl + Alt + Shift and N.
Ctrl + Shift + T in idea8 is also excellent.
There is a complete keymap in the online help too.
Ctrl + N : Open class.
Alt + F7 : Find usages.
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/docs/ReferenceCard70_mac.pdf has everything you need. after a while, you'll develop your own preference for certain shortcuts.
This link has everything you need. Plus in Idea 8 atleast, every shortcut is completely customizable, so it's really up to you what the most useful ones are.
