While I'm uncertain of the precise names for them - I'm referring to these:
There is a strip of these on both the left and right sides. I simply want to "reclaim" the real estate (since I have the keyboard shortcuts memorized).
Oh I see they're also at the bottom..
Why is it that GUI designers want to continually cram more stuff on the screen.. at the expense of usable working /editing areas..
Found it: Under _View | _Tool Buttons
Dear JetBrains: thanks for making this configurable after all.
You could also click on the square icon on bottom left to toggle the Tool Buttons.

I'm using idea as my java ide. I don't know which keys I have pressed, There appeared a little square ahead of the project name.
Is there anyone help tell what's this and what impact it has.
You bookmarked the folder and you may view it in favorites. After you open favorites, you may delete it by clicking the (-) on the bottom left corner.
Also there is a bug i think. If it still shows-up after you remove from the bookmarks - switch theme to another one and go back to original one again. It disappears.
Is it possible to use J and K when choosing a suggested auto-completion item? See the image below: I'd like to, maybe hold ALT or SHIFT (or in some other way differentiate between moving and typing), and use J and K to select the proper suggestion.
Is anything similar also available for moving around the menus (in Project view etc.)?
I was able to make this work by creating a shortcut ALT+J mapped to the Down key and ALT+K to the Up key.
You can move up and down in the popup without needing to move your hand away from HJKL to the arrow keys.
This also works in the Find in path window, though it does not work in the navigation menu.
Update: For Alt + K to work in the Find window since the version 2020+, one has to disable mnemonics in Settings, under Appearance & Behaviour -> Appearance -> Disable mnemonics in controls.
#Rok Povsic's solution is great and I used it a bit, but in some pop up menus like Intention actions, refactoring menu or usages the trick won't work.
So I used this Power Toys program from Microsoft to remap the Alt+J, Alt+K, Alt+H, Alt+L to arrow keys at windows level and now this works great everywhere around the IDE.
You can even specify only the app in which you want to override this shortcuts. For example for rider it will be "rider64.exe". You can find the name of the app you want to use in task manager under "Details".
I am a new to IntelliJ IDEA and somehow my project structure doesn't appear where It should be. Someone know how to fix this please? I want it to appear left corner where red circle:
You have hidden the tool window buttons. To show them again press Alt+Alt (and keep holding) or click on the bottom left corner icon. Or use View | Tool Buttons to show them permanently. Then you can click on the Project or Structure tool window buttons depending on what you need.
Another way is to use the menu: View | Tool Windows | Project (or Structure).
Or just use the keyboard shortcuts:
Alt+1 — Project
Alt+7 — Structure
You can find more details in the online documentation:
Manipulating the Tool Windows
How can I remove the blue underline?
ATM you cannot.
It was introduced to make currently active tab more visible in Darcula GUI Theme (IDEA-131683, IDEA-103206) where tab backgrounds are too similar. Check comments there (mainly first ticket).
So far the best match would be https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-168708 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.
In meantime please try Active IntelliJ Tab Highlighter plugin -- it may provide such functionality (was created by one of the users before this new tab highlighting functionality was introduced) -- it's customizable so may not have such underline at all.
Your image link is broken.
Please, try to follow this path step by step:
File/Settings/Editor/Color Scheme/General
This General screen can remove with checkbox disable all underline
Also, you can look this image.
I hope have been helping you.

If I split the editor window (horizontal or vertical) into N tab groups, how do I switch/toggle from one tab group to another via the keyboard? If all of the tabs are in the same group you can switch from each tab easily (CTRL + right/left arrow), but when they're in separate tab groups I can't. I've searched through the key mappings and have not found one that seems to accomplish this. I know I can use the mouse, but I'm trying to find ways to avoid the mouse and stay with the keyboard.
TIA for any help on this.
Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab for Window | Goto Next Splitter and Goto Previous Splitter. However, these hotkeys may be taken by the Switcher, so you need to remap them in Settings | Keymap.
It looks like it's now mapped to Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab so no need to remap (at least for OSX 10.5+ settings).
I had the same case and this plugin solve my problem:
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7475-tab-shifter
https://github.com/dkandalov/tab-shifter
As I write this, here is what it support:
Move tab to another editor split
Move focus between splits
Resize the split
You may refer more details on the page/github. It works pretty well in 2019.2
I can switch the splitters with CTRL+E and then ENTER.
If you have more then 2 splits, then you can navigate or quick search in the Recent Files dialog.
Switching the splitters with the Switcher doesn't work.
