I'm pretty new to IntelliJ, I also have Apple's new force-click enabled trackpad. Seems like it'd be super useful to be able to assign force-clicking to a keymap action (like bringing up a javadoc for example). Is there anyway to do this? Right now if I try to assign a force click it comes up as 'Button 1'.
Thanks!
This seems to be supported now in at least 2016.2, but you have to set it up.
For instance to set Force Touch to trigger "Go to Declaration" (navigate to function/class/symbol declaration), go to Preferences->Keymap. Then search for "Declaration". Right click the entry and select "Add mouse shortcut". In the popup, perform a force-touch hard-click. Apply and you're done!

Using IntelliJ IDEA 15, I get these constant and annoying documentation popups whenever my mouse is anywhere in the code window for a decompiled class (from a 3rd party jar). It will popup docs for whatever variable/method/class/anything happens to be near my mouse. If my mouse is not near any lines of code, it will popup for the current classfile, so basically I can't browse code unless I move my mouse to another window.
It only happens with decompiled classes, not my normal code. How do I stop these?
Go to File>Settings>Editor>General - in the section 'Other', uncheck 'Show quick documentation on mouse move'.
In later versions of IntelliJ, the path is File>Settings>Editor>Code Editing, and it is under the "Quick Documentation" section.
In my cause, 'Show quick documentation on mouse move' was in Editor > Code Editing:
If you want the documentation bubble but not the popup window, do this:
Place your text cursor on some text which causes the popup.
Press ctrl + q (or whatever keyboard shortcut you have for quick documentation) a couple of times until the popup window disappears, the quick documentation will then revert to the "bubble" on hover.
Under the File/Settings/.., at the top search bar, type in for "Quick Documentation", will point to the location.
Press <F1> button to show/hide this pop-up.
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.
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.
In IntelliJ 12, how do I make the popup stop...popping up when I hold Ctrl while hovering over a field/method with the mouse? (see picture)
That is the "Brief Info" action (or at least that is what it is called in the Keymap reference.) To the best of my knowledge (i.e. 10+ years of daily IDEA use including all beta/EAP builds), there is no way to turn it off. Searching the settings for either "Brief Info" or "Info" does not show any pertinent setting. Likewise, searching key mappings for the same does not reveal a mapping. In fact in the keymap settings, you can only map mouse clicks, not mouse pointing (i.e. hovering). You can submit a feature request asking for a setting to disable this feature.
Just put of curiosity, why do you want to disable it? I guess I would never see a case where one would Ctrl+MousePoint unless they wanted to see this. The only case I can think of would be if you disliked it popping up when you go to Ctrl+Click on a symbol. If it is the latter, note that you can use Ctrl+B in place of Ctrl+MousePoint
Try turning off the "autopop" options under /Settings/IDE Settings/Editor/Code Completion.
I know this is a simplistic question; but I've been using IntelliJ for months now, and can't find this simple feature.
Any idea? Thank you.
Idiot me. CMD-F4 or, as mentioned before, CTRL-F4.
Thank you all. I'll just bury myself now :)
hmm you can't because there is no default key binding for that, at least on OSX, however you can go here and define one:
The standard tip if you don't know how to do something in Idea is "Find Action..." (ctrl+shift+A in Windows) then type what you want to do, in this case close.
You will get a lot of different "close" actions and simply "Close" (ctrl+F4 in Windows) will be one of them.
You can also set a custom key combination in the settings menu
Click on File > Settings and select Keymap from the menu on the left, then scroll down to the Other section and set your preferred key combination for Close Active Editor:
When you double-click on Close Active Editor, a menu pops up allowing you to set a key combination, a mouse gesture, or even an abbreviation for the action. If the shortcut is already set somewhere else (as in my case with Ctrl-W) you'll get a notification and won't be able to set the shortcut until you remove the other one.
As with Matt Ball, I don't use IntelliJ but may also be CTRL+F4...
For MAC user, Cmd-W will close the active tab (file).
On Mac, you might like to use CMD + W, as this is the conventional shortcut for closing things e.g. Tabs in Chrome.
But by default this is usually associated with highlighting the current cursor block, so instead I use CTRL + W, rather than re-assigning.
e.g. (bottom right)
Also works for other IntelliJ IDEs, like WebStorm, etc.
IDEA->File->Setting->Search for "Close Active Editor".
Click on 'Add Keyboard Shortcut' -> Change it to "Ctrl+W". (Overwrite).
BOOM! you are universal now!
I'm on version 2020.4 and this has changed to Ctrl+4
