Add shortcut to open specific url in browser - Intellij Shortcut

I want to add Shortcut to open specific URL (let say localhost:3000) in IntelliJ. I read the documentation and try to figure it out on my own by messing around the Keymap, but No luck. Is this possible? What I want is to create a shortcut to open specific URL. If my custom shortcut is Alt +; then it should open http://localhost:3000. Is this feasible in IntelliJ?
Yes you can do this with the following steps...
1. Define an external Tool for Localhost
File > Settings...
Tools > External Tools
Define your Tool with
Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe (in Windows 10)
Arguments: http://localhost:3000
2. Define your shortcut
File > Settings...
Keymap
Choose External Tools > Localhost on the right side
Right click and choose 'Add Keyboard Shortcut'
Type your Shortcut
You should see it in the dialog
3. Use the Shortcut
Hope it helps.

Is there any way for Intellij to bold or highlight directory that has file changes like Eclipse

Is there any way in Packages or Projects pane to highlight or bold directories/path that has local file changes (diff from VCS repository). Eclipse has this.
I know there is a way to get all the changes if I change the pane to Changed files.
Settings -> Version Control -> Show directories with changed descendants.
On new version of IDE, this settings were moved to:
Settings -> Version Control -> Confirmation and enable "Highlight directories that contain modified files in the Project tree"

Reset IntelliJ UI to Default

I'm evaluating the IntelliJ IDE. I changed some of the display/font setting (among other things) and would like to reset the UI back to default. Is there a simple way to reset the display UI back to its default settings?
Recent Versions
Window -> Restore Default Layout
(Thanks to Seven4X's answer)
Older Versions
You can simply delete the whole configuration folder ${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea60/config while IntelliJ IDEA is not running. Next time it restarts, everything is restored from the default settings.
It depends on the OS:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23358108
On Mac OS for IntelliJ v12, shut down the IDE, and then you can execute:
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC12/*
Restart the IDE, or open a pom.xml of your choosing. You will be asked whether you want to import the preferences from an existing IntelliJ instance. Select the "No, I do not have a previous IntelliJ version" radio button.
You can delete IDEA configuration directory to reset everything to the defaults. If you want to reset the editor Colors&Fonts, then just switch the scheme to Default.
All above answers are correct, but you loose configuration settings.
But if your IDE's only themes or fonts are changed or some UI related issues and you want to restore to default theme, then just delete
${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea13/config/options/options.xml
file while IDE is not running, then after next restart IDE's theme will gets reset to default.
To switch between color schemes: Choose View -> Quick Switch Scheme on the main menu or press Ctrl+Back Quote
To bring back the old theme: Settings -> Appearance -> Theme
The existing answers are outdated. This is now doable from the menu:
Window -> Restore Default Layout (shift+f12)
Make sure nothing is currently running, as the Run/Debug window layout will not be reset otherwise.
From the main menu, select File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings.
Alternatively, press Shift twice and type Restore default settings
check, if this works for you.
File -> Settings -> (type appe in search box) and select Appearance -> Select Intellij from dropdown option of Theme on the right (under UI Options).
Hope this helps someone.

How do I install a color theme for IntelliJ IDEA 7.0.x

I prefer dark backgrounds for coding, and I've downloaded a jar file containing an IntelliJ IDEA color theme that has a dark background. How do I tell IntelliJ about it?
Go to File->Import Settings... and select the jar settings file
Update as of IntelliJ 2020:
Go to File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Import Settings...
Step 1: Do File -> Import Settings... and select the settings jar file
Step 2: Go to Settings -> Editor -> Colors and Fonts to choose the theme you just installed.
Take a look here: Third Party Add-ons
You may have to extract the jar using a zip application. Hopefully inside you'll find a collection of XML files.
IntelliJ IDEA Plugins
Go to Settings => Plugins => Search Plugins in Marketplace
Search by material theme and download and restart it. it is a good theme.
In the market place, you can also search by theme and it will list all the themes and you can download any themes. You no need to find themes and download and import it. You can also remove the theme very easily. thanks
If you just have the xml file of the color scheme you can:
Go to Preferences -> Editor -> Color and Fonts and use the Import button.
Themes downloaded from IntelliJ can be installed as a Plugin.
Follow these steps:
Preferences -> Plugins -> GearIcon -> Install Plugin from disk -> Reset your IDE -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Theme -> Select your theme.
Interesting I never spent too much time adjusting the colours in IntelliJ although tried once.
See link below with an already defined colour scheme you can import.
Where can I download IntelliJ IDEA 10 Color Schemes?
http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-1154
Download the jar file, file import the jar where you will see a what to import ;)
Like nearly everyone else said, go to file -> Import Settings.
But if you don't see the "Import Settings" option under the file menu, you need to disable 2 plugins : IDE Settings Sync and Settings Repository
Find the .jar theme file in your disk. Drag the file into PhpStorm window and voila !
