Intellij 2016 and earlier it has been possible to perform all navigations from the Find/Replace dialogs using just the keyboard.
Intellij 2017.X has restructured the Find/Replace dialog. While most operations are still achievable via the keyboard it is not clear how to invoke the "Open in Find Window" . There is no apparent accelerator available.
Here is the entire Find in Path dialog for context:
I use Find/Replace dozens of times a day and so having it be keyboard only is of some importance: hoping someone may have discovered a workaround.
Well there is a shortcut, its even displayed in your screenshot
It's CTRL+ENTER on Linux and CMD + ENTER on Mac OS
Here it is on your screenshot

Imaging the situation when you writing some code and then you wish to continue your work in the terminal. Alt + F12 and you are in the terminal. After 1 sec you wish to continue to work under your code. So you need some shortcut that allows you return back to the code window (I would like to avoid using the mouse). What should I press for this case?
Terminal has an option to override IDE shortcuts which is enabled by default, this is done so that you can use common shortcuts in the terminal applications.
If you disable this option, you can use Esc to get the focus back to the editor, otherwise it will be intercepted and can be used in the apps running in the terminal tool window.
Shift+Esc will hide the Terminal tool window and move the focus back to the editor no matter if the option mentioned above is enabled or not.
For all the other cases Esc will work fine as mentioned in my other answer.
Hi I have to make a lot of searches in InteliJ and I want navigate between findings of searched text and code preview of specific file.
I tried to search it on web, and also combination of shortcuts like tab, ctrl+tab and many more but nothing work.. Do you know how to switch between those two windows?
right now I have to click it with mouse to focus on one of the windows.
The code preview window is intended to be used as exactly that - a preview, not a UI to be used for complex editing operations. If you need to do anything with the search results, use the "Open in Find Window" button to open the toolwindow with the results. After that, you can use for example Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down to navigate between the occurrences, or other keyboard shortcut to switch between the toolwindow and the editor.
I googled but have not found any solving documentation/thread regarding this:
Is there a way to set keyboard shortcut to go full screen in Webstorm Terminal tool window from Terminal window?
I know shortcut shift+Command+' but that doesn't work for me inside terminal. I know by double clicking it you can toggle it to full screen but wondering that is it possible to set keyboard shortcut to do it as I do this operation often.
Try the "Maximize tool window" command in the menu - Window->Active Tool Window->Maximize tool window
Or from terminal tool menu - Resize-> Maximize tool window
Warning! The following shortcut only works if "Override IDE shortcuts" option is disabled
To map a shortcut to this, open the Preferences dialog and type "Maximize tool window" to search the settings. It should find a match in the keymap section, and you can then use it to assign a shortcut.
It will warn you if you already have something assigned to your choice.
Warning! The following option will cause some problems in Terminal, for example, editing in vim (Esc key) etc.
Also, you can to checkout the "Override IDE shortcuts" setting in the Terminal section of the Preferences. This is enabled by default - I turn it off and find it resolves a lot of niggles I have with using the terminal. The shortcut above only works if it's disabled.
In Mac cmd+shift+fn+12 will do the trick
I mostly like zen mode - cmd(ctrl)+K,Z

Double press 'escape' from anywhere will bring you back to editor tab.
Is there a shortcut for focusing the Filter box in tool windows, specifically the Change Log?
See the attached screenshot to know which field I'm talking about. I searched the net and key map, but found nothing like that.
I have confirmed at Jetbrains that unfortunately it's not possible yet: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/message/5520523#5520523
Just start typing with the focus inside the tool window. IDEA invokes the search automatically. To select the item, press Enter. To cancel, press Esc.
This feature is called Tool Window Speed Search.
I'm using Intellij IDEA 9.0.2
After each make, if i have errors, window "messages Make" is stealing focus from the main editor. Do you know how to correct this?
There is no way to change this behavior in the configuration. There is a keyboard shortcut which allows you to change focus to specific 'windows' within IDEA.
CTRL+SHIFT+TAB
CTRL is probably replaced with CMD on Mac and Super (windows key) on Unix. This will allow you to manually switch back to the editor tab of your choice, or any other window for that matter.
ESC does the trick for me in intelli 12.
