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 am using android studio/intellij idea
my idea starts showing me a balloon with a preview of a method
and it disturbs me when i need the top bar like finding text
(it appears when i scroll far from that part of code).
i tried to search the web and to play with the settings
but i did not find any solution for it how do i fix it?
Disable Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Editor | General | Appearance | Show code lens on scrollbar hover.

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
Jetbrains changed the toolbars in IntelliJ 13.
The Navigate Back & Forward arrows, shown here, used to be in the top toolbar and easily clickable.
Now the only way I can find to access these fields is to go to Navigate -> Back or Navigate -> Forward.
Does anyone know of a way to add these back/forward locations into an always visible toolbar like they were located in IntelliJ 12?
For some reason the toolbar is not visible by default.
In the View menu, select Toolbar. That should fix it.
I am using Idea 13 and my toolbar already has these buttons:
The icon groups are:
file | undo/redo | cut/copy/paste | font size | back/forward | compile/run | vcs | config | help | jira | tasks
You should be looking at the back/forward buttons in the 5th group.
If you want to make the toolbar visible, it's one of the checkable options on the view menu.
IntelliJ IDEA 15
Show toolbar
Method 1
View > Toolbar
Method 2
Press Shift 2 times > write "toolbar" and click on the "switch button" to change "OFF" in "ON":
The toolbar already contains the "Back" and "Forward" buttons.
Configure toolbar
Method 1
File > Settings... > Appearance & Behavior > Menus and Toolbars > Main Toolbar > select one row and click on "Add After..." if you want to add a new button (E.g.: if you accidentally removed the Forward button and you want it back)
Method 2
Right click on the toolbar > Customize Menus and Toolbars...
Use the approach that is described in Method 1
To enable toolbar in intellij 2019.3,
Just go to the "View" tab and check-enable "Toolbar"
*be noted that shortcut keys(ctrl+alt+ left/right) are not working
Here is just a reference image, where to find the top right bar in the settings.

The Conan's answer helped me with the same issue. 2Conan - make your comment as an answer. It helps with TS issue. Just for sure posting his answer here ...
OK, you can do this. Turn the toolbar on, with View > Toolbar. Right click it, and choose Customize Menus and Toolbars. In the Navigation Bar Toolbar folder, add the icons from Main menu > Navigate > Back / Forward, choose OK, then go and turn off the toolbar with View > Toolbar again.
Is it possible to run IntelliJ Idea in a true full screen mode on a MAC?
No toolbars, no side bars, no buttons, just code.
If it is possible please let me know.
You can do it in the View menu by disabling the following items:
Double clicking on the editor tab will hide all the open tool windows (second double click will restore them).
It's also possible to disable editor tabs in Preferences | Editor | Editor Tabs.
