Is there a way to make intellij a bit snappier and not animate the tool windows?
It's incredibly slow as it is, and not very useful.
Disable the Appearance & Behavior > Appearance > Animate Windows option in the settings (in IntelliJ IDEA 14). You can also find this option by searching for "animate" in the search box of the settings.

It seems to me that in my IDE everything is too petty. I would like there to be a font about the same as inside the editor. How can I do it?
And how can I increase the scale of the launch icons? Although I see everything perfectly, it seems inconvenient for me.
IntelliJ IDEA user interface/icons are scaled automatically depending on the system DPI/scaling settings.
You can try to override it in Help | Edit Custom VM Options (effective after IDE restart):
-Dide.ui.scale=1.5
Menu/toolbar font/size can be overridden in the IDE Appearance settings:
More details can be found in this document.
Whenever I use the navigation pop-up (ie, the "Go To File" modal) in IntelliJ IDEA, there's a horizontal scrollbar that shows up sometimes, which hides the last result, or hides the only result:
Is there any way to hide this scrollbar? In a practical sense, I can of course tell that it's probably found the correct file, and worst case I just go to the wrong file. Just a minor annoyance, really.
Note: I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.2 under Ubuntu 14.04, using the Unity windows manager. This doesn't happen in the OSX version.

In IntelliJ I would like to have "project" and "structure" tool windows side by side horizontally, not vertically. Is this possible?
I found the solution in this question: Switching from Eclipse to IntelliJ: Is there a way to split tool windows?
In short, you need to go in to the File -> Settings -> Appearance and Behavior -> Appearance: and check "Side-by-side layout on the left."
Truly a UI failure on IntelliJ's part; that should very obviously be a checkbox on the tool window UI, not a setting!
This seems like a bug in IntelliJ 12: Every couple of times when I switch between keyboard layouts (English and Hebrew) IntelliJ get stuck on one of them and ignore the windows selected keyboard layout. This happens only for intelliJ, all other programs respond as usual to the windows selected keyboard layout.
Is there at least a workaround, or a way to reset IntelliJ's keyboard layout? The only thing that seems to work for me so far is restarting my machine...
(My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit)
This is 100% reproduced when you switch keyboard layout in quick class search (Ctrl+N). Also in intellij idea 13.
Something like:
Open quick search menu when keyboard is not in English layout (Russian e.g.)
Type anything
Switch to English
Congratulations! you stuck in russian layout :) restart your intellij idea!
When I ceased to switch layout in search, I forgot about this problem.
UPD: it's suitable for most part of text inputs (even for search and file creation)
I've just had this problem on PyCharm 2020.2.3
Here's how I've solved it:
Go to Settings -> Keymap
At the bottom of the window, check the option Use national layouts for shortcuts (require restart)
That did the trick
restarting IntelliJ also works.
I wonder how they managed to get such a stupid bug, this is not an easy bug to write, especially in Java.
That was found to be more like a global Microsoft/Oracle bug. Simple workaround from IntelliJ's issue tracker: use Windows' language parameters to assign a hotkey (Ctrl + number) for changing the layout directly to a desired language. This suddenly will affect both Windows And IDEA. It's said that bug was fixed in Win8. A bit more info: here
In 2020 bug is still relevant in the most IDEs based on IntelliJ. For example I observe this in PyCharm now.
There is workaround for Windows:
Go to Language Bar - Settings... - Advanced Key Settings
Set key sequence of To English action to Ctrl + 1
Set key sequence of to other your language to Ctrl + 2
Apply
Go to IntelliJ/PyCharm and switch language by new sequences
After that bug disappears and you can switch language by traditional method
For me the following actions seem to resolve the issue:
Go to Control Panel
Select Clock, Language & Region
Press Region
In the opened window choose English for Format.
Also all my settings except the location are set to English (locale, default keyboard etc.)
This fix worked on my mac, access Preferences -> Editor -> Typing Corrector from the intellij IDEA menu. If you are able to navigate to the same window on your OS, you can try this.
Uncheck Enable keyboard layout correction in the Typing Corrector window
I got the same issue in Ubuntu 16.04. Restarting IDEA doesn't change anything. But Changing the default layout to be the one I want by default ensured ubuntu work well with it.
Go to the search textfield above file editor.
Switch layout.
Type smth.
Click somwhere in the file editor.
Write smth with swithed layout.
Whilst fiddling recently with Ulysses 2.0 - "The definitive creative writing package", I was struck by how effective the fullscreen/console mode was at focusing my mind on actually getting words on the page.
Are there any code editors that include a similar function? Or even a hack that allows code highlighting in Ulysees?
Preferably, for me, OSX, but feel free to list alternatives for others.
Any console based editor (vim, emacs, nano, ...) can be used in full screen mode, as long as the terminal in which it is run supports it. And I'd wager that most or all do. Usually this functionality is bound to F11 or Alt+Enter.
MacVim has a fullscreen mode: :set fullscreen, :help fullscreen, and ⇧⌘F.
Visual Studio has a fullscreen mode via pressing Shift+Alt+Enter.
Notepad++ has fullscreen mode by pressing F11 (or f12 i can't decide).
I use Think from Freeverse. It's a free utility that highlights your current app and simply darkens everything else, enabling you to focus on your document.
You can use it with your favorite editor. If you use Eclipse, you can double click the editor tab to maximize it, collapsing all other views. You can also customize the colors (if you prefer white text on dark background). It's not quite the same, but not bad.
This is going to end up a long list!
I use Textpad as my text editor when not using Visual Studio - http://www.textpad.com - and it has a fullscreen mode.
