Is there a way to split your window vertically with a keyboard shortcut?
Right now I have to Ctrl+Shift+A and choose split vertically.
There is no mention of a shortcut here: Splitting and Unsplitting Editor Window
File->Settings->Appearance & Behavior->Keymap
Search for Split
Then you may define your own keyboard shortcut.
For IntelliJ 2020.3 (Mac) the command is now called Split-Right.
Context-Click on a tab and Split-right will create a new window to the right.

either vertical or horizontal?
Is there a short cut to do this?
You can drag the editor tab to a different location in the editor panel to split the window. If you're looking for split editing of the same file, then you can use the cloneview plugin, which supports this. You'll see "Clone Horizontally" and "Clone Vertically" items available in the editor tab menu (right click on an editor tab) after installing the plugin.
I've done numerous searches to find out how to switch between two files that are horizontally split but can't seem to find it. I know that you can switch between vertically split files by using the Goto Next Splitter option, but there doesn't seem to exist an option for horizontally split. Has anyone else figured this out? Thanks!
An example of a situation where I can't switch between the top and bottom files:
I just tried this out, and Goto Next Splitter (Option-Tab on mac) works just fine for me on horizontally split panes
Note: Using CLion 2017.1.2
If you have IdeaVim installed, you can use the Control-W - J/K command to switch between Vim split panes. See also How do I switch between panes in split mode in Vim?
Use Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + Shift + Tab to switch between opened buffers (or "file editors", if you like). If you have only two buffers like on your screenshot, you can just press Ctrl + Tab and then by pressing Enter the other editor will become focused.
Important addition:
The shortcut varies depending on your keymap. To figure out proper key combination, open File -> Settings -> Keymap and search for "Switcher" keymap in the search field.
I am wondering how to align (the keyboard shortcut) a line or a block of code with the previous line, so that they have the same indention or starting from the same column in IntelliJ and PyCharm.
cheers
I think that "Emacs Tab" could help you. You can use setting search to find it or you can go Preferences -> Appearance & Behaviour -> Keymap. It is editor action and in some Keymap settings it doesn't have assigned key shortcut. I personally prefer remap Tab key to this action.
IDEs based on the IntelliJ platform let you split the editor in various ways, but I don't see an option to move focus from one editor to another using just keyboard (something like other-window from Emacs).
Is there an "action" to do that?
For mac users, the default shortcut is option + tab
I think you're already find answer, but for someone who have same question and find this post like me.
Go to Prefernces -> Keymap or simple use search in preference and find Goto Next Splitter and make your own hotkey for this action.
Main Menu Window | Editor Tabs | Select Next/Previous Tab
There's also Switcher (Ctrl+Tab) available in the same menu as Goto Next/Previous Splitter which switches between splitted editor parts, tool windows, and many other things.
For macOS it is option + tab keys to switch between tab groups
ctrl + tab works for Windows system.
If I split the editor window (horizontal or vertical) into N tab groups, how do I switch/toggle from one tab group to another via the keyboard? If all of the tabs are in the same group you can switch from each tab easily (CTRL + right/left arrow), but when they're in separate tab groups I can't. I've searched through the key mappings and have not found one that seems to accomplish this. I know I can use the mouse, but I'm trying to find ways to avoid the mouse and stay with the keyboard.
TIA for any help on this.
Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab for Window | Goto Next Splitter and Goto Previous Splitter. However, these hotkeys may be taken by the Switcher, so you need to remap them in Settings | Keymap.
It looks like it's now mapped to Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab so no need to remap (at least for OSX 10.5+ settings).
I had the same case and this plugin solve my problem:
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7475-tab-shifter
https://github.com/dkandalov/tab-shifter
As I write this, here is what it support:
Move tab to another editor split
Move focus between splits
Resize the split
You may refer more details on the page/github. It works pretty well in 2019.2
I can switch the splitters with CTRL+E and then ENTER.
If you have more then 2 splits, then you can navigate or quick search in the Recent Files dialog.
Switching the splitters with the Switcher doesn't work.
