Intellij External Tools available variables - intellij-idea

Does anyone know where a wiki style list exists of all the available variable/macros are that intellij comes with out of the box?
I'm hoping to create a wiki style page that lists all the out of the box intellij variables (macros?) that can be used in External Tools. I looked and could not find a list style reference to them anywhere, though if someone knows where such a list exists I would be glad to know.
Here's the ones I know of from seeing/using them in projects:
$FileDirRelativeToProjectRoot$
$FileName$
$FileDir$
$FileClass$
$ModuleFileDir$
$ProjectFileDir$
$Sourcepath$
I'm pretty sure CrazyCoder knows where the list of all available ones are...perhaps he can chime in on this question

If you press the "Insert macro..." button, it will show you the list of all available variables.

How to find package for a dictionary object in Eclipse ADT?

I am trying to determine a package for an data element, or domain, or whatever via Eclipse ADT, but have no luck. I'm doing usual object search via project search (Ctrl-Shift-A), and both Global search (Ctrl-H), the result is the same.
I see domain properties window
and it has no clue about what package it is.
What I've tried so far:
Using filters in project search bar, callable via Ctrl-Space
Package filter does not help, it lists all packages, not the relevant ones, where this domain was found. Picking each and every package will take infinity amount of time, because the hierarchy is huge.
Pressing "Link with editor" button
For some reason it doesn't work, should it with DDIC objects? When I press it with domain opened right-side, just nothing happens. In the help and e.g. here they describe it should open the object in the left within hierarchy.
Is it something broken with my ADT or this button doesn't work with DDIC objects?
P.S. It is ABAP Cloud trial system, if that matters.
Package can be seen in Properties tool (see the bottom part of the screenshot below)

How to have a single search panel including all searching options in Intellij IDE?

I need to know how to open the search panel that includes all the
different searching options (All, classes, Files ..) like this:
https://www.google.com/search?q=intellij+search+classes&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwikhb793urfAhVHyhoKHeiPBDUQ_AUIDygC&biw=1745&bih=860#imgrc=SGrlYMJQfuMQuM:
I can open the filter for each kind of search separately, but not on the same panel. I'm using the community edition and I was wondering if this is a intelliJ Ultimate specific feature.
Thank you for your help
You should be updated to the last version of IntelliJ IDEA and search for one of the options (all (double shift), classes, etc.)

Save Current View in intelliJ IDEA

I have several files open in a split view in the intelliJ IDEA. Is there a way to save this setup (ie: which files are open and witch side of the split view they are on)?
I am hoping to work on some other aspects of the program for now, but will need to return to this view/setup periodically.
I have looked under Window | Editor Tabs but could not find anything there.
As pointed out by CrazyCoder in the comments, this feature does not yet exist in intelliJ. There is a related feature request here:

IntelliJ - working with features

I have 2 simple questions that I cannot find answer to.
First is in NetBeans when I type . operator behind a variable or method or whatever, small window with documentation will show up like on the picture. On the other hand I can't achieve the same result in IntelliJ. I followed steps on official website and this is what I get in IntelliJ after I press CTRL+Q. All I want is full documentation so for a begginer like me it would be easier to use and learn stuff.
[EDIT]: I tried it once again and I saw little yellow message "download missing driver" and it is working just fine.. this one is solved.
Second question is about MySQL database driver (or connector). In NetBeans, I just press right click on project and add the library I want. But I can't find solution for this in IntelliJ.
Thanks for every advice!
For the first question, I'm thinking what you mean is the suggestions after you type a '.'. In IntelliJ, the suggestions show only if you have config a right dependency in the File > Project Structure, and the Libraries tab.
And for the second question, also you should find File > Project Structure, in the Modules tab, Add new Database support(Hibernate such as) for you project.
Hope it helps you.
Ok, so I finally found the solution.
I went to Project Structure -> SDKs -> Documentation Paths and I added https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/ in there so now when I press CTRL+Q for quick documentation it shows exactly what I needed.

Providing help documentation in VB.NET?

I have written up troubleshooting documents for my project and would like them included in my program. I remember in VB6 there was a very easy way to do this with a control, where it already has the help document tree set up on the left and you just set it to point to certain files.
Does something like this exist for .NET? I am aware of the HelpProvider control but as far as I know this just puts in tooltips and opens documents on a button press?
Thanks for any help. :)
To the best of my knowledge no such interface exists in Visual Studio, at least in the express editions that I have installed here. As your investigations showed you, the only way to provide help is to add a HelpProvider to a form and set its HelpNamespace property to your HTM/CHM file. Then on each control you can manually set the HelpKeyword, HelpString and/or HelpNavigator properties. Setting the last option controls how the values of HelpKeyword or HelpString are passed to the external help file.
