Is there a commmand or shortcut for quickly jump from code editor to graphical layout editor?
For example I am editing MyActivity.java and it's layout is in activity_layout.xml.
In layout editor there is a button for jumping to code, I just need reverse.
First press Ctrl+F12, then press home to jump to main Class name, for example MyActivity, then press enter and now select Navigate | Related File... ( or press Ctrl+Alt+Home in Windows or CMD+ALT+Home on mac)

I want to jump through files in the project window using the up / down buttons. Now I press the down button, then press the enter button and the focus goes to the code editor window. But I do not want the focus to go away, I want to continue jumping through the files, pressing the down button and enter when I want to open the file. I can do this using this combination: down arrow, enter, F12, down arrow, down arrow, enter, F12 ...
Is there any way to tweak this to avoid using F12?
I'm using Intellij idea 2020.3
I'd suggest reassigning shortcut combination Main Menu | Window | Active Tool Window | Jump to Last Tool Window to anything more suitable for you, e.g. ESC and be sure that you don't use the same shortcut for other actions and operations.
On mac in NetBeans 8.2 I have a panel with a run button.
It's a bit strange to me after Visual Studio that there is no Stop button there. Is there a simple way to add it?
It should do the same as Shift+command+fn+delete or Stop Build/Run
It's a bit tricky to restart it every time to test my changes.
I don't think it is possible to easily do what you want.
The only place the Stop icon/button appears in NetBeans is in the Output window, and that is not available for reuse elsewhere, so NetBean's View > Toolbars > Customize functionality won't be of any use.
However....it is trivial to specify a shortcut key for the action associated with the Run > Stop Build/Run menu entry:
In NetBeans select Tools > Options
Click the Keymap icon. All the actions will be listed, along with their shortcuts.
Type Stop in the Search field to locate the Stop Build/Run action.
For the listed action named Stop Build/Run click the ellipsis and select Edit... from the popup menu.
The cursor will move to the Shortcut field. You can now select any available shortcut. For example, in the screen shot below I pressed the ALT key, and then selected ALT+T from the drop menu of available shortcuts.
Then, you can just submit ALT-T from the keyboard to terminate a running application, instead clicking the Stop button in the Output window, or selecting Run > Stop Build / Run.
I know that you were asking for a toolbar solution, but in the absence of one perhaps a keyboard shortcut is a viable alternative.
In IntelliJ, there are some underlined numbers on the side menus :
1: Project
7: Structure
Like below :
So there is probably a keyboard shortcut which allows to navigate from one view to another by just entering the view number.
I tried the different digits with Ctrl, Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt etc but could not find the right shortcut.
How can I easily navigate between those views?
The shortcut is Alt + [number]
ps. There's a plugin force-shortcuts if you wanna replace your mouse click actions with shortcuts (https://github.com/treytrahin/force-shortcuts-intellij-plugin). It's super annoying but you learn really fast. And by the way here are such plugins to most editors and IDEs.
ALT+F1 opens a window where you can choose one of the views by pressing the corresponding number.
Info: It actually opens the selected file in the selected view - which is not that bad maybe - but not 100% what you want?
Also there are cool things like pressing C to open a file chosen in Project Explorer directly in Explorer for example.
I can't figure out how to re-open the tab on the left (solution viewer) in IntelliSense Idea.
Anyone know ?
In the left bottom corner you will find a small icon. You can either move your mouse over it and select Project or click on this icon to toggle the visibility of all tabs (which you can click on to open the corresponding view).
You can also use the shortcut Alt + 1 to toggle the Project View.
Is it possible to run IntelliJ Idea in a true full screen mode on a MAC?
No toolbars, no side bars, no buttons, just code.
If it is possible please let me know.
You can do it in the View menu by disabling the following items:
Double clicking on the editor tab will hide all the open tool windows (second double click will restore them).
It's also possible to disable editor tabs in Preferences | Editor | Editor Tabs.
