In anki you can do pretty much everything with shortcuts. But one thing I could not find a shortcut for is selecting a particular deck from multiple decks in the decks window. I tried pushing all the direction keys as well as the tab button and their combinations with Alt and Tab but they don't work. It is good to be able to select a deck without using a mouse. Are you aware of such a shortcut (or if not, how to create one)?
From the manual:
The "Study Deck" item in the Tools menu allows you to quickly switch
to a deck with the keyboard. You can trigger it with the / key. When
opened, it will display all of your decks and show a filter area at
the top. As you type characters, Anki will display only decks matching
the characters you type.

In IntelliJ, there are some underlined numbers on the side menus :
1: Project
7: Structure
Like below :
So there is probably a keyboard shortcut which allows to navigate from one view to another by just entering the view number.
I tried the different digits with Ctrl, Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt etc but could not find the right shortcut.
How can I easily navigate between those views?
The shortcut is Alt + [number]
ps. There's a plugin force-shortcuts if you wanna replace your mouse click actions with shortcuts (https://github.com/treytrahin/force-shortcuts-intellij-plugin). It's super annoying but you learn really fast. And by the way here are such plugins to most editors and IDEs.
ALT+F1 opens a window where you can choose one of the views by pressing the corresponding number.
Info: It actually opens the selected file in the selected view - which is not that bad maybe - but not 100% what you want?
Also there are cool things like pressing C to open a file chosen in Project Explorer directly in Explorer for example.
I like VIM a lot because it kind of doubles the power of my keyboard in a way. It's either in insert or motion or whatever they call it mode.
Navigating through source code, typing code, while being able to keep my hands in the touch type position is great.
But when a dialog box is opened (eg. the one using ctrl+F12), if I have to select something other than the first one in the list, I am forced to have to move my right hand to the cursor keys.
Is there a way so that I can use J and K or else something with ctrl or alt or something, so that I can select an item while keeping my hands in the touch typing position?
You can redefine shortcuts for the Up, Down, Left, Right actions in File | Settings | Keymap (the regular keymap that has nothing to do with IdeaVim). IdeaVim provides Vim emulation only for code editors like file editors, interactive language consoles, etc.
Edit: I guess you can't use j and k since characters typed in the structure window are reserved for searching. But you can use Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P which is the same as the navigation shortcuts for pop-up windows in Vim.
Edit 2: You can't use Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P as well due to this bug in IntelliJ.
I'm really impressed with the autocomplete feature of the IntelliJ IDE so far.
What I'd like to do, is cycle through the autocomplete suggestions I get when hitting Ctrl + Space without using the arrow keys (↑, ↓).
The reason for this is that I prefer to keep my fingers on the home row (I'm using IntelliJ's Vim emulator additionally).
For example, how would I select sortThis instead of sorted without using the arrow keys or the mouse?
Peter Gromov's answer brought me to a satisfying solution:
In IntelliJ's settings, for Keymap → Editor Actions → Down I set a custom shortcut: Ctrl + J.
This way I can cycle forward through the suggestions.
Setting a shortcut for Down with Selection or Scroll Line Down in the IdeaVim-specific shortcuts did not affect the selection of autocomplete suggestions though.
The answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9713306/2370679 led me to discover that Ctrl+n & Ctrl+p allow navigation of the auto-complete options without having to modify any settings
For macOS the IDE will give a hint that "^↑ and ^↓ will move caret up and down in the editor". These clearly do not work.
There are a few extra steps that are needed after following #matthias-braun's solution.
Here is the full list of step that I use:
Go to Preferences -> Keymap
Expand Editor Actions (not Plug-ins -> IdeaVim)
Select Down
Click the pencil icon or right-click
Select Add Keyboard Shortcut
Press the shortcut (I use ^N)*
Repeat for 3-6 for Up (I use ^P)
Click Ok**
Go to Preferences -> Other Settings -> Vim Emulation
In the drop-down under the Handler column for the row containing Down, select Vim***
Do the same thing for Up
* If you are warned about the key binding already existing then remove it. You can always reset back to the defaults by clicking the little cog icon up the very top to the right of the drop-down menu.
** The Vim Emulation doesn't seem to be populated correctly until you reopen the Preferences.
*** I'm not sure why the Handler should be Vim. This seems backwards to me but it works.
If you're able to scroll up/down in editor with some IdeaVIM-specific shortcuts, they should also work in the completion list.
In this particular case, I'd just type another "t" so that "sortThis" becomes selected (and the only) variant.
I have done the same thing with mapping the arrows but in a more logical way:
I mapped them that when I press 'Alt' 'J' is left, 'L' is right, 'I' is up, and 'k' is down. that way I can have easy access to the arrows while my fingers are on the home row and I don't need to move them nearly as much...
I'm posting it just so people who search it on google can have that idea.
I would like to know whether it is possible to select multiple items in menus like those of method overriding, implementing, menu with bookmarks etc with keyboard. It is possible to select it with mouse - Control + click or continuous block with shift + arrow. But I want to select non-continuous items - something like file managers, where you cold do something like space and directory and it got marked then you could select another item.
I tried all space combinations but without success. Any help is appreciated.
It's not possible without a mouse right now, please vote for the open issue.
What is the quickest way to jump to a particular symbol/selector/class in Xcode? (I'm looking for keyboard shortcuts preferably).
Right now, I know two ways of doing this:
“Open Quickly” > Click on the Symbols dropdown menu at the top of the editor > Select the selector to jump to it.
Click on “Project Symbols” in the “Groups and Files” section on the left sidebar, and type in a name in the Search text field in the top right of the XCode window.
Is there a quicker way of doing this? (If I could even assign a shortcut to jump to the “Project Symbols”, that would suffice for me. Alternatively, if I can find a keyboard shortcut to jump to the symbol dropdown above an editor that would do it to).
For experienced Xcode programmers, what do you use to jump to a symbol?
In Xcode 3.2, the "Open Quickly" command (Shift-Control-D) lets you type in selectors and class names as well as file names. This would at least get you close to what you wanted.
Your idea about using the "Symbols" drop-down also works. You can use the keystroke Control-2 to bring up the Symbols drop-down menu, and then use the arrow keys, or start typing the name of the method that you want to reach.
Edit: In Xcode 4, the "Symbols" drop-down appears when pressing Control-6. You can change this in the Xcode settings by changing the key binding for "Standart Editor > Show Document Items".
If you're looking at the symbol in a source file and want to jump to its definition, ⌘-click it.
(command + double click) on your symbol/selector/class in any place of your implementation to jump to them
(option + double click) on framework classes/selectors to jump to their reference in help->documentation
One (arguably crude) way to do it seems to be as follows:
This is based on the fact that the Search field at the top right of the Xcode window seems to change behavior depending on what is selected in the Groups & Files sidebar.
Select “Project Symbols” in the “Groups & Files” sidebar
Press ⌥⌘F (That is Command+Option+F) to jump to the Search field
Enter the symbol to jump to, and an outline will quickly show up
(this will remain in effect until you click on something else in the Groups & Files sidebar)
