I'm wondering how can I can navigate to a character location? I have a script that will tell me the character location number, no line number.
INFO: log-process/3093 on local-machine: Some Log Message
The 3093 is the character location number.
I do this by selecting code from the start of the file. Then, total number of selected characters is displayed in the bottom right corner, so I can find the character that I only knew the number of.
In WebStorm, if you mouse click on the file line and char count in the bottom bar:
it will open up a dialog where you can type in the line and char position:
I had the same situation today. I have a minifed and uglified javascript file, and I was simply searching manually for error (14, 4974). In the bottom right corner of Webstorm, you can see the line number and character position.
Searching for lets say line 14 and position 18438 is not an easy task, but clicking inside the script file may help you to pin point the location.
No such navigation action exists. You'll need to either 1) Search for a plug-in that will do this; 2) write your own plug-in to do it; or 3) Open a feature request to add such functionality.
UPDATE
The "Go to Line" dialog was enhanced to be "Go to Line:Column". You can open it by:
Ctrl+G / ⌘+L
Menu: Navigate > Line:Column
Click on the cursor position in the bottom right of the window. For example:
This will open the Go to Line:Column dialog:
In the dialog, you can enter a value such as 10:15 to go to the 15th character on line 10. You can also enter just a line, 10 which will take you to the start of that line (line 10 in this example). Or you can enter just a character position, for example :15, which will take you to that character position on the current line.
However, I am still unaware of a way say "Navigate to the Nth character position in the file". And the original poster's feature for such a feature is still open.

I'm an IntelliJ user since years and I work on a Mac.
For a long I was able to execute like an automata the following procedure:
select a portion of a text in a file using the mouse
pressing a combination of keys
seeing the selected text in the find & replace bar of the IDE.
Now, I can't remember how to do it.
I have search through the docs of the search & replace in a file, but I cannot see that option.
Just to avoid confusion, the toolbar I'm talking about is the following
I am using IntelliJ on linux (Keymap : Default for xwin) and to select text I use Ctrl+W or Mouse double click. Then ctrl+R will put this text in replace text box
Probably it's a kind of bug. It should work by selecting the text and pressing cmd+r.
Cases when it works:
I select a piece of text in a line and I press cmd+R.
I select the whole line (including white spaces/tabs at the beginning)
Case when does not work:
I select a line from the first character to the last.
More context. I use IntelliJ 2017.2.5 on Mac Os Sierra.
Is there any way to select the whole line at caret in IntelliJ 15? I know you can select the current word (ctl + w), go to beginning/end of line but I can't find a current line selection feature.
Simply hit
ctrl+c
Note that for this to select the whole line, you need to ensure that nothing is already selected; otherwise it'll work as an usual "copy" command.
move caret to line
on Windows, press ctrl+shift+a .
This popup appears, where you find Select Line at Caret
for quick access, you can specify a shortcut in Settings
I would like to also add the following from JetBrains website. Because, that what i was looking for here, but no one mentioned it.
1- To select text from the current caret position to the beginning/end of
the current word:
Ctrl+Shift+Left, Ctrl+Shift+Right.
2- To select text from the caret
position to the beginning/end of the current line:
Double-click Ctrl and press Home/End
3- To select text from the current
caret position to the top/bottom of the screen:
Ctrl+Shift+Page Up, Ctrl+Shift+Page Down.
If none of the above are working, I suggest using end and home keys in combination with shift allowing you to select lines quickly.
Go to the end of the line and hit Ctrl+W. If you'll hit Ctrl+W at the beginning of the line it will select only one word.
Not a keyboard feature, but nice to use:
to select the whole row just click on row number on the left of the code.
In addition to that you can click and drag selection.
Moreover, you can doubleclick on the number of the first line of method which results selection of the whole method.
In IntelliJ IDEA, when I have a vertically split window and I bring up "Search Anywhere" (SHIFT SHIFT) to jump to a new file, the file always appears in the left-hand split, even if my cursor is in the right-hand split.
How do I get the new file to open in the right-hand split?
Note that I'm using IdeaVim and I'm creating the initial vertical split by typing :vsp.
If you set up the right pane via right-click: Split Vertically, it works.
There must be an issue with :vsp.
(IDEA v14.0.2)
In eclipse, you can go to the previous/next occurrence of the selected word by pressing ctrl+, / ctrl+..
What is the equivalent in IntelliJ IDEA?
The feature is called Find Word at Caret:
Search for a word at caret enables you to quickly find the exact match for the current word, without changing any search options. With the match once found, you can navigate between the occurrences of the term.
You can use Ctrl+F3 for that:
select a word at caret
hit Ctrl+F3 and then F3 or Shift+F3 to navigate to the
next/previous occurrence
Mac OS
Please note that there is no shortcut on Mac OS. You'd need to use Cmd+Shift+a and type "Find Word At Caret" ("find wo" should be enough) or on the main menu, choose Edit | Find | Find Word At Caret. Press Cmd+g to navigate to go to the next occurrence.
Separate Plugin
Or, try this plugin - it supports using Shift+Alt+Up and Shift+Alt+Down to navigate up and down to each identifier occurrence
To make this feature available by default please, vote for IDEA-59638
Use Ctrl+Shift+F7 to highlight the usages of some variable in the current file, then use F3 or Shift+F3 to navigate through the highlighted usages.
(It works in IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.3)
Finding Word at Caret: Ctrl+F3:
Search for a word at caret enables you to quickly find the exact match for the current word, without changing any search options. With the match once found, you can navigate between the occurrences of the term.
Note that after it has found occurrences, it immediately goes to the first occurrence.
The functions for this are called Go to {next,previous} highlighted element usage and are available by default only via the menu Edit→Find. No key press is associated to this function by default. (IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3 (Community Edition))
You can set them to a specific key press in the keymap: File→Settings→Keymap→Main menu→Edit→Find and double click on the function you want to set.
EDIT:
IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3 (Community Edition): via main menu Edit→Find Usage→Next(Previous) Highlighted Usage
CMD + Shift + F7 to select all occurrences
than CMD + G to navigate forward
CMD + Shift + G to navigate backward
In IntelliJ 10.5 I have "Highlight usages of element at caret" enabled. When a variable/method/etc is selected, is there a way to move to the next and previous occurrence? I'm looking for the equivalent of Control-K in Eclipse.
Edit: Shortcut to navigate between highlighted usages simply moves to the next text occurrence, which is different than moving to the next occurrence of the variable/method/etc. If I have the variable foo selected, I want to navigate to the next occurrence of foo and not any piece of text called "foo" (including "foo" in comments, method names, etc).
Also, pressing F3 seems to be buggy. When I press F3, it sometimes searches using the previous searched text and not the currently highlighted text.
F3 or shift+F3
ctrl+c, ctrl+f, enter or up and down arrows
ctrl+alt+F7
Added this in case people don't look at your edit.
It's not currently possible, see my question: Shortcut to navigate between highlighted usages.
I even created an issue IDEA-70523 addressing this feature, please vote for it if you can't live without it like me :-).
Install Identifier Highlighter Reloaded and use Alt + Shift + Up/Down (can be redefined in Keymap settings) :)
After you give it a shot and notice the 'hey, the highlight stays there after I move my cursor out of it' annoyance, consider upvoting this issue :)
In the Mac OS, you can navigate to next highlighted usage by press control + option + up/down arrow.
Vote this request up for make them implement the feature.
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-59638
I found something thay may more suite your needs : alt + mouse-wheel up/down.
It goes to previous / next occurrence of identifier under caret.
Shortcut name is "Go to next highlighted element usage".
I usually do the following:
Highlight the word
Cmd + F (it will highlight all the matches in file)
Cmd + G (next match)
Cmd + Shift + G (previous match)
I could not get any of IntelliJ's native options for Find Next/Previous to behave like in Eclipse. Find Word at Caret comes close, but it only allows you to slurp and find the next word, not previous.
Identifier Highlighter Reloaded also does not behave like Eclipse.
I wrote an IntelliJ plugin to reproduce the exact behavior as in Eclipse. You can find it here: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10635-quick-find-plugin
Look for next occurrence # Keymap
^G = "select" the variable that you want to search for
[shift]⌘G = [previous]next occurrence of selected variable

(AFAIK, limiting search scope to only variable/method is not possible)
For text based match and quick jump:
Simply place the cursor over the desired word to be searched
Press Ctrl+F3
For further down/up search, simply use
F3/Shift+F3 respectively
in Intellij shortcut for this action, it's not defined.
but you can define it like this:
Ctrl+ Alt + S
search " highlighted usage"
then you can set a shortcut for that.
Ctrl+Alt+Up and Ctrl+Alt+Down navigates to the next and previous usages of a highlighted variable in IntelliJ.
I use this functionality of navigating to the next usage of a variable in a file by hot in Visual Studio all the time (Ctrl+Shift+Up and Ctrl+Shift+Down) and was looking for the equivalent in IntelliJ
