Is there a way to increase the size of the recent projects list you get when you use "reopen project"? I found no setting for this - but perhaps there is some magic number I can tweak in some file?!
Sorry! This is actually possible after all.
Use ctrl+shift+a to enter an action and type Registry.
From here, search for the key in the list named ide.max.recent.projects
Edit as appropriate (I have gone with 50 =).
Plus, for Android Studio, you can use this plugin: Recent Projects Extender

In Visual Studio 2019 I can use Find in Files to find some text in my code. Then I can use Edit.GoToNextLocation and Edit.GoToPrevLocation to move through the matches. (I have them mapped to Ctrl-N and Ctrl-Shift-N.) This allows me to jump from location to location and edit as necessary without having to use the mouse.
How can I do the same thing in IntelliJ IDEA?
There are many ways, I suggest you get familiar with "Action" shortcut (control+shift+A) and "type" what you want, see if there's an action and what shortcut (if any) it has.
For e.g.:
Get also familiar with "Bookmarks". (Control Tab, Double Shift are also good) Control-E (recent is nice) think all these you can "type" to search in them as well and narrow the results using fuzzy search (aka: type TM for "TimeManager" for example). You get the idea.
I think I found it!
IntelliJ IDEA appears to have a Next Occurrence command that does what I want.
It seems that to get a navigable list of found results, I need to do Find in Path... followed by Open in Find Window (Ctrl-Enter). Then Next Occurrence and Previous Occurrence (not to be confused with Move to Next Occurrence and Move to Previous Occurrence!) take me through the various places.
In IntelliJ IDEA it doesn't loop back to the first result like Visual Studio does, but I can live with that.
I do wish it would go straight to the Find Window instead of me having to tell it to.
Once in a while Appcelerator Studio starting task "Building workspace... " and it shows that it indexes "/iphone/hyperloop/..." or "/android/hyperloop/..." even though I've disabled hyperloop in my project. Does anyone know how can I get rid of this long indexing? It takes like 20 minutes and makes no sense to me.
Thank you!
You can disable the automatic build under "Preferneces - General - Workspace - Build automatically" or inside the Project menu disable "Build automatically". If you still have the problem you could file a ticket at https://jira.appcelerator.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa
Exclude these folders from the project tree by adding Resource filters. Add Exclude All resource filter type to root folder of your project. You can also use regular expressions if needed.
This will avoid indexing the excluded files and folders, hence it will improve the performance.
Steps:
Right click on the project
Click on the project
Go to Resources -> Resources Filter
Click on Add Filter...
Select "Exclude All" from the Filter Type section
Select "Folders" from the Applies to section
Enter "modules" in the textbox as shown below
Appcelerator Studio is dog slow and I suggest to use another editor. The editor is Eclipse-based I believe, but as long as it exists it has had performance issues. The build options that are built into the appc studio can be called using the command line (appc ti build ...).
I deleted all the previous module versions of hyperloop and facebook.
Go to:
Library>Application Support>Titanium>modules
Look in:
iphone>hyperloop
iphone>facebook
android>hyperloop
android>facebook
I deleted all previous modules in those folders, keeping only the latest.
For a while now, newer versions of Visual Studio have been able to display in-line information for methods, fields etc relating to how many times they may have been referenced or changed and who changed the code last. This feature is known as CodeLens.
Is there any plugin or feature in IntelliJ IDEA similar to this that would be able to display information on an individual class/field/method basis?
(22-Aug-2022 updated) The hints from git blame are also available in the latest IntelliJ IDEA.
==================
(For CodeLens function references feature) Now it's a built-in feature after version IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.
You can enable it from:
Ref: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2020/03/intellij-idea-2020-1-beta2/
There is no such plugin (yet).
You can of course right click the left gutter (gray editor to the left of the editor) and select "Annotate". That gives you at least the last edit per line.
More similar to your desired feature (but unfortunately not inline):
Select some text (e.g. a method), then right-click Git -> Show History for Selection.
Now there is JetBrains plugin named GitToolBox.
It has some similar functionality, including the current line "blame annotation" at the end of the line with detailed commit information:
This feature is available for Rider, but not for IntelliJ yet.
In Rider it's called Code Vision

I like to be able to undo basically several hours of work in a file. I am unsure how to configure this.
In IntelliJ settings, the clipboard settings I have tried with are 999 and 9999 and 99999 but it still too short on undos.
How can I increase this?
In Intellij settings the clipboard settings I have tried with are 999 and 9999 and 99999 but it still too short on undos.
I've failed to see what "clipboard settings" have to do with the "undo limit" (or with "undo" at all). Care to explain?
Local History is definitely the way to go here as it works across sessions, files, and whole folders -- you can undo very complex operations in one click (e.g. replace/refactor in multiple files).
In any case: if Local History is to complex or you are a hardcore person who prefers to hit Ctrl + Z quite a few times in a row instead of few clicks with Local History, you can increase undo limit (which is 100 steps by default). For that:
Open Registry (Help | Find Action... and type registry)
Find undo.documentUndoLimit entry and set your limit to a higher number (e.g. 1000).
P.S.
IDE restart may be required.
Actually, based on JetBrains Docs, for changing undo limit you should act just like below steps:
click Help on the top menu:
Click on Find Action:
Type Registry and open first result:
On the opened window file undo.documentUndoLimit and undo.globalUndoLimit and change it to number what you want.
HINT: After change you should close your JetBrains IDE and open it again.
The "Maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard" setting has nothing to do with undos.
In fact, there is no configurable "undo history size" setting in IntelliJ. See this support issue:
For rolling back complex code changes gone awry, a far better option is to use the local history.
Local History is available under the menu "VCS" -> "Local History" -> "Show History". The feature is explained as:
IntelliJ IDEA tracks any changes you make to your source files or any other file, as well as the changes that affect a directory’s content and structure. This feature will protect you from any accidental losses or modifications, even if made by other applications outside IntelliJ IDEA. Setting version labels is also available. Any time you can inspect the history of either a particular file or directory and rollback to any of its previous versions.
I'm Using resharper 6 nighty builds and VB.net. I've a big medium project with multiple files that don't follow the code style conventions of my company.
I've configured resharper with my own convenctions and It suggest to me the right name for each variable (perfect!).
But I can't find any automagic way to make the current name to be replaced with the suggested name.
Are there any way to do it? If not ... did you know ane fearure of coderush Xpress to achieve it?
Thanks.
If you've configured ReSharper with your naming conventions, then it should show a warning (blue squiggly underline) under any identifiers that don't comply. If you put the text cursor on one of those misnamed identifiers, you should see a pyramid icon appear near the left margin. Then you can press Alt+Enter (or click the pyramid icon) to drop down a quick-fix menu. There should be an option in the menu to "Rename to '_myField'". Usually it's the first item in the list, so you can just press Enter again to do the rename.
If you want to do this on everything in a source file, you can use the ReSharper > Inspect > Next Issue in File command (or its keyboard shortcut -- F12 in the IDEA keymap) to move the cursor to the next warning in the file. Then, if it's another name warning, you can use Alt+Enter, Enter again to fix it.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to automatically fix every instance of a warning at once (though it's been requested; please feel free to vote for RSRP-126551 in their issue tracker).
