Despite that I have ticked the "auto-display documentation" and tried inputting different numbers in "ms" box - I still have to press CTRL+Q to see the documentation. How to make it work?
Also if I click CTRL+Q to show documentation pop up manually - the pop up is too small. Can I make it bigger by default to contain all the text?
IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1 (Ultimate Edition) Build #UI-181.4203.550
Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia, Cinnamon 64-bit
Sounds like you want this setting:
Settings > Editor > General
> Show quick documentation on mouse move
And to make the documentation pop-up text larger:
Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the pop-up, there is a setting there.
It seems there is a bug. If you open the settings via the gear icon and tick the show toolbar it will work again (at least I was able to reproduce it and this fixed it for me).
I don't have issues with the size (I'm on mac) using IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1.2 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-181.4668.14.

Update for IntelliJ 2018.2:
The code completion in IntelliJ IDEA continues to evolve, and now the IDE shows both all the possible auto-completions and Javadoc, at the same time (without the need to directly invoke Javadoc each time). Please be aware that you need to actually enable this cool new feature. Go to Preferences | Editor | General | Code Completion and turn on the Show the documentation info pop-up in… options.

Is there a way to completely turn off all intentions light bulbs in Intellij 2016.1, so that none ever appear? In older versions, you could apparently edit options/editor.xml, but no such file exists in 2016.1.
I just answered that in hide Intellij Idea yellow light bulb
TL;DR:
Preferences > Appearance > Show intention bulb
Update:
In GoLand 2020.1 (and possibly all InteliJ 2020.1 products) this setting can be found here:
Editor > General > Appearance > Show intention bulb
If that doesn't work for you, type "bulb" in the search field in the Settings. I hope that helps.
Maybe this could help you
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/configuring-intention-actions.html?origin=old_help
To configure intention settings using the Settings dialog
By default, all available intention actions that ship with IntelliJ IDEA, are enabled. By changing the Intention Settings, you can disable the actions that are not required for your current working environment.
Open the Settings / Preferences Dialog by choosing File | Settings for Windows and Linux or IntelliJ IDEA | Preferences for OS X, and click Intentions under Editor.
In the Intentions page, clear the check boxes of the intention actions or action categories that you do not currently need.
Selecting or clearing a category affects all intention actions in this category.
Apply changes and close the dialog.
IntelliJ IDEA 13 has the new Search Anywhere feature. It sounds like it might be useful, but so far it just gets in the way. It's mapped to some kind of magical shift-based shortcut, and it comes up every time I try to shift-click to select text. When this happens, the pop-up flickers and gets into some stuck state, so the only way to get rid of it is to click in the editor pane, which of course loses the selection.
I call the shortcut "magical" because the Search Everywhere action appears in the Settings → Keymap list with no mapping, so I can't remove this mapping the usual way. Searching the dialog for search gives no relevant results.
How can I disable this buggy feature until it's ready for production use, and get back the ability to select text?
To disable the "Search everywhere" feature, you need to invoke "Go to action" (Ctrl+Shift+A), then type "Registry...".
Scroll down to "ide.suppress.double.click.handler" and check the box.

After updating to build 133.331, I tried assigning a normal shortcut to it in Settings → Keymap, and that made it stop appearing on double-shift.
The settings for the new version have changed
Version: IDEA 2021.2.3
Preference > Advanced Settings
Scroll down to "User Interface", find "Disable double modifier key shortcuts" and check the box.
It's called Search Everywhere, and it's present in keymap.
For me it's perfectly disabled.
EDIT As I'v found it is hardcoded now, and will popup at doubleshift source
There is also an issue at jira, about this problem.
I hope it will be fixed soon.
from: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-161094
In IDEA 2021.2:
You could enable the Settings (Preference on macOS) |
Advanced Settings | Disable double modifier key shortcuts option to
disable it.
This problem is still present under linux (ubuntu amd64 16.10 ) on Android Studio using X11Rdp for remote connection, maybe in other situations too - the Search Everywhere dialog appear on single Shift press.
The answer is here
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-114933#comment=27-603899
Basically you need to
Open lib/resources.jar/idea/PlatformActions.xml and remove or comment such line:
<action id="SearchEverywhere" class="com.intellij.ide.actions.SearchEverywhereAction" />
and repack the jar.
Since end of 2017 you can add -Dide.suppress.double.click.handler=true to the custom VM options: cf. the answer from JetBrains.
How to disable auto show hints in IntelliJ IDEA on mouse over?
Edit:
This hint could be very big if you call existing method with incorrect parameters. It's very uncomfortable.
There are the same behaviour in PyCharm:
and WebStorm:
Those popups (or tooltips) has been my worst annoyance in the editor for a while. There is how I fixed it:
On the editor, at the bottom-right of the window, there is a head icon. Click it and uncheck the box "Import popup".
You can have a look at this guide (with images) to help you finding the checkbox:
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/disabling-inspections.html
I hope that can help you
TOTALLY: Open Settings (or Pereferences, if you are OS X user) dialog, choose Editor | Inspections. On the Mange tab (right pane of the dialog) select Copy. Then click the language node. Here you can find the setion that is probably responsible for your tooltips and disable it. Or disable the whole language node, if you like. This way you have all the IDE features working and no tooltips at all. You can return back to Project Default inspections profile when you need it.
PARTIALLY: Try to disable the respected intention action. Press Alt+Enter when you see the tooltip, select the action from the list and press the right arrow key. In the context menu, select "Disable".

You probably need to uncheck the Inlay Hints.
For Windows 10 & PyCharm Community 2020.3.3 :

Uncheck Show hints for:
This seems like a bug in IntelliJ 12: Every couple of times when I switch between keyboard layouts (English and Hebrew) IntelliJ get stuck on one of them and ignore the windows selected keyboard layout. This happens only for intelliJ, all other programs respond as usual to the windows selected keyboard layout.
Is there at least a workaround, or a way to reset IntelliJ's keyboard layout? The only thing that seems to work for me so far is restarting my machine...
(My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit)
This is 100% reproduced when you switch keyboard layout in quick class search (Ctrl+N). Also in intellij idea 13.
Something like:
Open quick search menu when keyboard is not in English layout (Russian e.g.)
Type anything
Switch to English
Congratulations! you stuck in russian layout :) restart your intellij idea!
When I ceased to switch layout in search, I forgot about this problem.
UPD: it's suitable for most part of text inputs (even for search and file creation)
I've just had this problem on PyCharm 2020.2.3
Here's how I've solved it:
Go to Settings -> Keymap
At the bottom of the window, check the option Use national layouts for shortcuts (require restart)
That did the trick
restarting IntelliJ also works.
I wonder how they managed to get such a stupid bug, this is not an easy bug to write, especially in Java.
That was found to be more like a global Microsoft/Oracle bug. Simple workaround from IntelliJ's issue tracker: use Windows' language parameters to assign a hotkey (Ctrl + number) for changing the layout directly to a desired language. This suddenly will affect both Windows And IDEA. It's said that bug was fixed in Win8. A bit more info: here
In 2020 bug is still relevant in the most IDEs based on IntelliJ. For example I observe this in PyCharm now.
There is workaround for Windows:
Go to Language Bar - Settings... - Advanced Key Settings
Set key sequence of To English action to Ctrl + 1
Set key sequence of to other your language to Ctrl + 2
Apply
Go to IntelliJ/PyCharm and switch language by new sequences
After that bug disappears and you can switch language by traditional method
For me the following actions seem to resolve the issue:
Go to Control Panel
Select Clock, Language & Region
Press Region
In the opened window choose English for Format.
Also all my settings except the location are set to English (locale, default keyboard etc.)
This fix worked on my mac, access Preferences -> Editor -> Typing Corrector from the intellij IDEA menu. If you are able to navigate to the same window on your OS, you can try this.
Uncheck Enable keyboard layout correction in the Typing Corrector window
I got the same issue in Ubuntu 16.04. Restarting IDEA doesn't change anything. But Changing the default layout to be the one I want by default ensured ubuntu work well with it.
Go to the search textfield above file editor.
Switch layout.
Type smth.
Click somwhere in the file editor.
Write smth with swithed layout.
Is there a way to make IntelliJ mark error locations continuously for the files you are working on in the similar manner as Eclipse does? At the moment I need to make the project which lists all the errors in the message panel, but even then I cannot navigate to them using the editor panel. I would like to have simple dots/markers which would point to error/warning locations.
IntelliJ IDEA detects errors and warnings in the current file on the fly (unless Power Save Mode is activated in the File menu).
Errors in other files and in the project view will be shown after Build | Make and listed in the Messages tool window.
For Bazel users: Project errors will show on Bazel Problems tool window after running Compile Project (Ctrl/Cmd+F9)
To navigate between errors use Navigate | Next Highlighted Error (F2) / Previous Highlighted Error (Shift+F2).
Error Stripe Mark color can be changed here:
For those who even yet have the problem, try enabling "Build project automatically" in the Java compiler settings and see if that makes a difference as it worked for me.
I ran into the problem of not having set my sources root folder (project window--right click folder, mark directory as > sources root). If you don't set this IDEA doesn't parse the file.
For IntelliJ 2017:
Use "Problem" tool window to see all errors.
This window appears in bottom/side tabs when you enable "automatic" build/make as mentioned by #pavan above (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45556424/828062).
To access this Problems panel, you must set your project to build automatically. Check the box for Preferences/Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler > Build project automatically.
Frankly the errors are really hard to see, especially if only one character is "underwaved" in a sea of Java code. I used the instructions above to make the background an orangey-red color and things are much more obvious.
In IntelliJ Idea 2019 you can find scope "Problems" under the "Project" view. Default scope is "Project".
Besides, you can choose going to next error only (ignore warning) by:
Right click the Validation Side Bar.
On the context menu, choose the Go to high priority problems only
it works for Intellij Idea 12
In my case, I unknowingly unchecked 'Error Stripe Mark' option (Idea 2018.2: Settings > Editor > Color Scheme > General and expand `Error and Warnings' & click 'Error').
Fix is to check 'Error Stripe Mark' option of 'Error' (as highlighted in the below image). Now you will see the error marks in scrollbar area.
In my case, IntelliJ was simply in power safe mode
Do you have a yellow icon like this [_] at the bottom of the main window?
It is a "type-aware highlighting" switch which could be disabled accidentally.
You should re-enable it by clicking on the icon.
In the intellij hit ctrl+alt+shift+s and go to global libraries and click on plus icon to add the java libraries this will solve your problem. now you will see the errors coming up
enter image description here
This is the solution I found:
Open IntelliJ Setting (Crtl + Shift + A);
Click in "Editor";
Click in "Color Scheme" + the Programming Language (inside "Color Scheme");
Select "Analysis Error";
Select "Error stripe mark" + Add the Color desired
