I don't know how I enabled this feature, but I can't seem to get rid of it. Every time I click a button in the debugger that little window appears, and flashes for a few seconds. It looks like an accessibility feature, but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Any suggestions?
Must be one of the 3rd party (not bundled) plugins.
Go to Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Plugins and browse through descriptions of all non-bundled plugins. Quite possibly it is a Key Promoter plugin.

Despite that I have ticked the "auto-display documentation" and tried inputting different numbers in "ms" box - I still have to press CTRL+Q to see the documentation. How to make it work?
Also if I click CTRL+Q to show documentation pop up manually - the pop up is too small. Can I make it bigger by default to contain all the text?
IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1 (Ultimate Edition) Build #UI-181.4203.550

Sounds like you want this setting:
Settings > Editor > General
> Show quick documentation on mouse move
And to make the documentation pop-up text larger:
Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the pop-up, there is a setting there.
It seems there is a bug. If you open the settings via the gear icon and tick the show toolbar it will work again (at least I was able to reproduce it and this fixed it for me).
I don't have issues with the size (I'm on mac) using IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1.2 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-181.4668.14.

Update for IntelliJ 2018.2:
The code completion in IntelliJ IDEA continues to evolve, and now the IDE shows both all the possible auto-completions and Javadoc, at the same time (without the need to directly invoke Javadoc each time). Please be aware that you need to actually enable this cool new feature. Go to Preferences | Editor | General | Code Completion and turn on the Show the documentation info pop-up in… options.

I am working with Itellij IDEA (2017.2.4). I am not sure whether the reason is new version of IDEA, but I started to face it after new version installed.
When I type some code in editor and Tooltip is shown (it can be inspection or just parameters of method shown ect.) I cannot type new symbols until pressing ESCAPE button, it is not useful for me. Before updating the IDEA there was behavior when user types new code, tooltip is hidden without ESCAPE pressing. It was made hidden by any key pressed.
Actually maybe I just change some setting property unconsciously, if yes - what is the property needed to be restored to default?
How to make it hidden not by ESCAPE but by any button?
In next image I pictured the moment when only ESCAPE key can be pressed.
I'm not able to reproduce the issue, even when I use v2017.2.4 on windows. The behavior should be that you can still type even when the tooltip is present:
I can't think of anything in terms of settings that could cause this issue. If it's just the "parameter info" tooltip that is causing the issue, you can disable it (or just increase the delay time) from automatically popping up via the setting: Settings > Editor > Code Completion > "Parameter Info" > "Autopopup" You can then manually open it via the Parameter Info Action via Ctrl+P / ⌘P. The setting #Maciej-Białorucki mentioned will effect the time before other tooltips open. Setting to a high value might help if other tooltips are causing issues.
Personally, I find the auto popup useful. To troubleshoot why this is causing issues, I'd recommend trying the following:
Upgrade to v 2017.2.6 which was released yesterday. While I personally can't reproduce it, and I'm not seeing anything about it in the 2017.2.5 Release Notes nor the 2017.2.6 Release Notes, it can't hurt to try and upgrade.
Disable all third party plugins and restart IDEA. See if the issue persists. In my 14 years of using IDEA and helping people with it on the forums, I've seen 3rd party plugins having bugs that cause other parts of IDEA to misbehave. Since you recently upgraded, it's possible a 3rd party plugin is having a compatibility issue with the new version. If the disabling them solves it, use a binary search to as you re-enable the plugins to track down the culprit and then report the bug to the plugin's developer.
See if it happens in other projects. If not there may be something wrong with the project's configuration. (A long shot. But worth checking out)
As another long shot, you can try invalidating the caches and then restarting IDEA via File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... I have on occasion over the years seen a corrupted index file or cache cause strange behavior.
If none of the above work, I suggest opening a bug report with JetBrains at: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com
Check Tooltip initial delay(ms) option under Appearance in Idea settings.
As I divined there was a property in settings that influences to the behavior described in a question. So to continue writing code without pressing ESCAPE key you must uncheck the following property:
Menu page Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings
Checkbox Accessibility -> Support screen readers (requires start)
(for more details see the link)
Currently I run with spell check disabled globally in IntelliJ as it ends up being more annoying than helpful most of the time. But there are many times where I'd like to quickly toggle it on and off to check the spelling of things I'm unsure of.
My current workflow in this case is to switch over to sublime then hit my toggle spell check key binding there and then jump back to IntelliJ, which isn't really ideal.
After Google searching around for it all I found was "how to disable spellcheck in IntelliJ" which I already know how to do and searching for "toggle inspection shortcut" was also unfruitful. So does anyone here happen to know if there's a way to bind toggle spell check(or toggle an individual inspection) to a keyboard shortcut in IntelliJ?
If not I might end up writing my own IntelliJ plugin today as I really really want this..
The best thing you can do with out-of-the-box functionality is using Analyze | Run Inspection by Name..., selecting "Typo" from the list and then selecting the scope to run it on.
If you want to run it with a single keyboard shortcut, you'd indeed need to write a simple plugin.
So I ended up making the plugin this late-ish afternoon in a couple hours (thank you yole for telling me it couldn't be done without a plugin before I started work on the plugin). I added the spell check toggle I wanted plus 3 custom toggle bindings that can be bound to any inspection you want.
It's currentley awaiting moderation to get in the JetBrains plugin repository but you can download the plugin jar from my website here.
And I put the source code up on GitHub here
IntelliJ IDEA 13 has the new Search Anywhere feature. It sounds like it might be useful, but so far it just gets in the way. It's mapped to some kind of magical shift-based shortcut, and it comes up every time I try to shift-click to select text. When this happens, the pop-up flickers and gets into some stuck state, so the only way to get rid of it is to click in the editor pane, which of course loses the selection.
I call the shortcut "magical" because the Search Everywhere action appears in the Settings → Keymap list with no mapping, so I can't remove this mapping the usual way. Searching the dialog for search gives no relevant results.
How can I disable this buggy feature until it's ready for production use, and get back the ability to select text?
To disable the "Search everywhere" feature, you need to invoke "Go to action" (Ctrl+Shift+A), then type "Registry...".
Scroll down to "ide.suppress.double.click.handler" and check the box.
Source: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-161094
After updating to build 133.331, I tried assigning a normal shortcut to it in Settings → Keymap, and that made it stop appearing on double-shift.
The settings for the new version have changed
Version: IDEA 2021.2.3
Preference > Advanced Settings
Scroll down to "User Interface", find "Disable double modifier key shortcuts" and check the box.
It's called Search Everywhere, and it's present in keymap.
For me it's perfectly disabled.
EDIT As I'v found it is hardcoded now, and will popup at doubleshift source
There is also an issue at jira, about this problem.
I hope it will be fixed soon.
from: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-161094
In IDEA 2021.2:
You could enable the Settings (Preference on macOS) |
Advanced Settings | Disable double modifier key shortcuts option to
disable it.
This problem is still present under linux (ubuntu amd64 16.10 ) on Android Studio using X11Rdp for remote connection, maybe in other situations too - the Search Everywhere dialog appear on single Shift press.
The answer is here
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-114933#comment=27-603899
Basically you need to
Open lib/resources.jar/idea/PlatformActions.xml and remove or comment such line:
<action id="SearchEverywhere" class="com.intellij.ide.actions.SearchEverywhereAction" />
and repack the jar.
Since end of 2017 you can add -Dide.suppress.double.click.handler=true to the custom VM options: cf. the answer from JetBrains.
My first day using this IDE...
is there a way to configure the IDE to open files in the project by double click? It is rather painful having to drag files from the project overview into the editor window.
You can change the KeyMap.
Go to File->Settings and find the keymap section.
You will have to create a new KeyMap by clicking copy, and then look in the View section for "Jump to Source" and change/add the keymap you want.
However, as Bozhidar Batsov noted, double clicking may not always work so well. Whether it works may vary by OS and/or windowing system. I have no trouble with it in Mac OS X, but it doesn't seem to work well in openSUSE.
There are also other predefined keymaps that you can select from this settings screen. They're set up to resemble other IDEs, so you might find them helpful if you're transitioning from something else.
It is easy way to do in windows.
I found a great solution to this problem by Jelmer Kuperus over at Orange11.
Create an .Xresources file in your home directory. Add the following line:
*multiClickTime: 400
Jelmer explains that this setting changes the default double-click speed from 200ms to 400ms, effectively slowing it down. Save the file and then run:
xrdb ~/.Xresources
The effect is immediate, no need to logout or reboot. Double-click in Intellij works as expected. I did try changing the mouse double-click speed in System Settings first before trying this out to see if that made a difference but it did not.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04, Intellij 10.5.2, and Sun JDK 1.6.0_26. YMMV
Use F4 to open quickly the selected files. Btw double clicking on files should work as well(at least in theory). Swing's buggy handling of such events, however, causes the double click to not always work in IDEA, so I eventually stopped double clicking and switched to using F4. You can also use "Autoscroll to source" from the projects menu - this will open the source files as soon as you select them in the project browser.
