I was unable to find an option allowing to do this. Note that I know how can I hide event log window, I want to hide also its summary form (text on the status bar with icon allowing to bring event log window back).
Ability to filter messages also would solve this problem.
I marked parts of interface that I want to remove.
It is distracting and in my experience it never has an important information.
Even the official documentation has
shows the information about "important" events
(scare quotes are present in original).
You can toggle event log window from menu - View->Tool Windows->Event Log.
Or, you can also hide it by clicking on the icon on the top-right of the Event Log window. The icon looks like a bar (half black and half white) with an arrow facing downward.
If you don't want anything on the Event Log Window, go to Prefrences and disable Notifications. Event Log Window displays notifications so you can disable notification and nothing will be logged.

I’m not sure what are these called:
I mean the Show code with my wire stats, Show Memory indicator, etc..
Basically, I’m mostly interested so this autocomplete menu would only show files, or at the very least would prioritise files. How can this be achieved?
I’m in version 2022.2.1.
That popup is called Search Everywhere and you are on an "All" tab that includes combined results from Classes, Files, Symbols, Actions etc.
Either manually switch to the desired tab (using a mouse or by hitting Tab needed number of times) or invoke this popup for the desired search from the start. For that just use the shortcut for Navigate | File... (Ctrl + Shift + N here on Windows keymap).

Found the solution.
These things are called Actions, and the can be disabled in menu that appears after clicking the small funnel icon in the top right:
I tested, these changes seem to 'survive' a restart.
Yes, at the moment it is remembered only during the session.

(P.S. The same happens with Find in Files popup (IDEA-143972) and a few others similar popups as well)
Context:
When a code completion pop-up (Ctrl+Space) appears I often need to have a look at docs for each individual method / constant / etc). The IDE is set to show the Quick Documentation pop-up for a highlighted suggestion automatically after a small delay. Sometimes the documentation is too big and I need to jump to the Quick Documentation pop-up in order to be able to scroll down through it.
Using the mouse I can click on the documentation pop-up and scroll using the mouse wheel. When I'm done reading the documents I can click on the code completion pop-up to explore other suggestions.
My problem is that once the Quick Documentation pop-up is in focus, I haven't found a way to move the focus back to the code completion pop-up without using the mouse.
While I can move focus from the code completion to the quick documentation pop-up by pressing Ctrl+Q, and then use the arrow keys to "scroll" through the documentation, I haven't found a shortcut to return the focus to the code completion pop-up.
What I've tried to far:
Esc closes both pop-ups
Pressing Ctrl+Q a second time opens the docs on a tool window
Any insights on how I can close the Quick Documentation pop-up or move the focus back to the code completion pop-up in such a way that preserves the suggestion that I have previously highlighted?
This seems to be a bug in IntelliJ IDEA . Feel free to add your use-case at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-168388
Here is a workaround that could be used for the time being:
Open Documentation as a Tool Window:
Add keyboard shortcut to focus documentation window from anywhere:
When the completion popup appears, focus documentation tool window by the shortcut from [2] and scroll it
Press Esc to unfocus documentation tool window and focus completion popup
When I click Option-Q on an identifier to display the Quick-Documentation Popup instead of it showing up in a small dialog directly above the identifier it is showing in a large separate panel to the left.
This is suboptimal because the content is not where I wanted to look for it and because the new panel overlays the entire right side of the editor panel (and its contents).
Is there a Preferences setting for getting this to be a popup again?
Aha! There's a configuration menu that can be accessed by Right clicking on the top bar of the tool window. The first option Open as Popup is the one I wanted:
I want to create a program that consists of just a menu in the status bar (no dock icon or menu bar) that, when the user clicks on menu items, opens a window that allows the user to enter text (NSTextField and NSTextView).
I can make the program background only by setting the "Application is background only" property to YES in my Info.plist file, however, when I do this and display a window, firstly the window always appears behind other windows, and secondly I can't type any text into it (text goes to whatever last had focus - usually a source file in Xcode!)
This is definitely not something as simple as the fields are not enabled. Simply changing the "background only" property to NO fixes the issue, but then I get a dock icon and menu bar which I don't want.
Is what I'm trying to do possible or is there something about the background only mode that means my application can never receive text?
If it is possible what do I need to do to fix this?
From the documentation for LSBackgroundOnly:
You can use this key to create faceless background apps. You should also use this key if your app uses higher-level frameworks that connect to the window server, but are not intended to be visible to users.
So when they say “background only”, they mean background only.
The key you want is LSUIElement. Xcode describes this as “Application is agent (UIElement)”.
I personally can't stand Xcode's default behavior of showing me descriptions of some of the keys' meanings. I recommend turning on “Show Raw Keys/Values”; then, Xcode will show you the real keys being used in the dictionary.
I am building a StatusBar App in Cocoa, therefore I have no menu. Having no menu implies not having a "File > Close" menu item, which normally listens to the shortcut "Command + W".
From my StatusBar App the user may open a window to change the preferences and that's where I'm running into problems: The user can only close the window by pressing the red dot with the mouse. However, like alle applications I want to support the "Command + W" shortcut as well.
At the moment I see two possibilities to solve this issue:
Place an invisible button on the window which listens to the shortcut.
Add an application-wide listener for the shortcut and contact the window manually.
Both solutions feel like a misuse of the system. The first solution can lead to unexpected behaviour (the window closes if the user hits the invisible button by chance) and the second solution will still result in a beep, since the window does not know that it handles such a shortcut.
Is there an elegant way to solve this problem? Since the view should know what to do, a solution with just Interface Builder would be perfect. If there is no elegant way, is there a way to enhance the solutions mentioned?
Thanks in advance!
If you put a File > Close menu item in your MainMenu nib, the shortcut will work, even though the menu isn't visible.
If you choose to implement an app-wide listener for the shortcut instead, you can get rid of the beep by returning nil from the block, so that the original event doesn't get passed on.
