I upgraded my IDE to the new version 2019.3
in the previous version I have the ability to navigate in the project view to the class that I am currently working on.
today this is not displayed
how can I restore it?
this is the old menu, I want to add the icon that is marked in purple
Could it be you have the option Always Select Opened File enabled under the cog menu? When this is enabled the file currently open in the editor is selected automatically in the project view. This makes the "locate" action unnecessary and it is hidden.

My question consist of 2 parts:
After update to 2019 version of IntelliJ Scroll to Source option from project panel is missing, after some web search I'm unable to find it. Is it missing? Default?
I'd like to set "scroll to source" so that whenever I'm opening tab it's highlighted in project, but exclude redirect to external libraries like java's or node_modules (they tend to be several classes long and make scrolling time-consuming). Excluding those libraries from project would be kind of a way perhaps?
The actions have been renamed improve an user experience for those who move from other IDEs: Autoscroll to Source -> Open Files with Single Click, Autoscroll from Source -> Always Select Opened File; see IDEA-217044.
Note that Scroll from Source button (currently called Select Opened File) is only available if Always Select Opened FIle is disabled.
There is no way to disable auto-scrolling to libraries; please vote for IDEA-200580 to be notified on any progress with this feature request.
In Eclipse, when click Synchronize view it will show up a tree structure of diff comparison from local to svn repo. Click on each file will pop up view to show code diff.
Is there a similar feature in Intellij and how to activate it? I am on latest Intellij Ultimate btw.
Click on the Version Control button on the bottom, click on the Incoming tab. Hit the refresh button (circle with arrows). First time it will ask you if you want to set up automatic refresh. It will then show any changes pending from the repository. You can click on files and get a diff. (You may have to right click on a revision and select "Show Affected Files".)
There is no exact same view in IDEA. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-119596
You can use Subversion -> Compare to the Latest repository version from a file's context menu.
There is also the Incoming tab that shows changes from the server not yet applied to your working copy. You could invoke Show Diff with local from the Details pane of the Incoming change
Coming from a Visual Studio environment and Xcode environment, if you highlight a file on the project window (LHS), the file opens. IntelliJ doesn't open a file until you double click it.
It's kind of a different feel since it opens it up in a new tab each time vs just using the last active window or a preview window to flip between files. Is there a way to make it more like VS or Xcode that where highlighting the file actually opens the file in the current window?
There is Autoscroll to Source option in the project view settings. Unfortunately it doesn't open the focused files in the current tab, but in new tabs.
I haven't found an option to change this behavior anywhere, but there is already a feature request on IntelliJ's YouTrack asking for this, so feel free to vote for it :)
I am working to make an Eclipse Plugin. I used a plugin project template that generated a View class which extends ViewPart. I think that it is part of SWT.
My problem is that the View is like a window inside of the main Frame which has buttons for close, minimize. I clicked on the X button of the View by mistake. Now I cannot make it visible again even if I relaunch the Eclipse Application.
Now, my Eclipse application looks like this:
It had some panels and buttons before. But I cannot make the View visible again. How should I make to bring it back? I have tried to delete the plugin project from Eclipse and import it again. But it did not work.
I bet that there it is an easy way to make the View visible again but I do not know how. Is there any setting through MANIFEST file? Or other file?
Specify the -clearPersistedState argument when you run the RCP (this assumes you are using Eclipse 4.x).
1) quick solution
restart workbench with clear workspace option checked under run configuration ..
2) Full Solution
you should add a menu in menu bar to open your view so that you can open your view when ever you want
create a command say openMyMenu
create a handler for it and call below code from handler execute method.
add that command to main menu bar..
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView(<view ID>);
I have just installed IntelliJ 9.0.2 on a machine running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04.
How do I get another window to put on my second screen?
I would like to have both an editor and some tool windows on both screens.
All 'windows' inside of IntelliJ other than the code editor tabs have a "Float" option which pops open an independent window which you can drag to anywhere on your screen. This will allow you to manage your IDEA windows however you like.
IntelliJ also allow you to open multiple projects at once. When opening a project with one already opened, you are prompted as to wether you would like it in your current window or a "New Instance". If you choose new instance, it will open up a completely new IntelliJ with the other project in it. This will work for you if you have many projects you work on at once.
IntelliJ 14 and onwards you can select the settings cog and tick floating mode to detach menus, or drag editor tabs off the main window to detach them
If you're running on OSX you'll need to make sure it's not treating the screens as separate spaces, otherwise they'll snap back onto the same window as the main editor when switching between windows.
To do this untick Displays have separate Spaces in the Mission Control System Preferences.
IntelliJ 10 will have draggable & dockable editor tabs. A very nice feature. It's already present in the early access versions.
