When i open File structure Dialog (that can he opened at Ctrl + F12 shortcut) in the start position on my monitor i have a problem.
I try drag and drop this window to my comfort position. After that i close him ( i think that helps, but it's not)- the dialog showing up in start position, not in position related on my decision. How i can save my dialog position? Because it's so irritation.
The following worked for me on Android Studio 2.2.3, but should do for IntelliJ IDEA:
On the menu bar: Window > Store Current Layout as Default
+ Update ( 2017 - Sep - 24 )
When using Windowed Mode the above failed. So I had to do the following.
First, choose what Tool Window you be setting up. For example 1: Project.
Left-click the item to show it
Right-click the item and select Windowed Mode
Choose the window position that you like
Left-click again, to close it.
To make sure, left-click again, to open it.
Finally, select on the menu bar Window > Store Current Layout as Default
Restart the IDE to check, but it should work.
This was tested on AndroidStudio 2.3.3 and IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2.4 with 2 monitor screens (displays).
As of now 2020 September you can do this via creating a new branch in git for the same project.
So lets say you have Branch A to use view/setup for one task. When you create branch B you can then change this view/setup, because when you switch back to branch A, your setup there (which window is on left/right, etc.) will be restored.

I would like to have a keyboard shortcut in IntelliJ IDEA that has the following effect: the tree in the project tool window expands to show the currently open class (or file), and this class becomes selected in the tree.
Is this possible?
Navigate (View in older versions)| Select In... (Alt+F1), Project View (Enter).
It's also possible to enable Autoscroll from Source option in the Project View so that current file is automatically selected.
IntelliJ IDEA 2019
Left click on the wheel > Always Select Opened File
There is also: Open Files with Single Click - the selected file from the tree view will be opened in the right side.
Old IntelliJ versions
Right click on Project/Packages area > Autoscroll from Source
or
Left click on the wheel > Autoscroll from Source
There is also: Autoscroll to Source - the selected file from the tree view will be opened in the right side.
Try
Alt F1(Select Target dialogue) + Enter.
Click at this icon on the top of tree-box.
you can do this also using the upper dynamic menu that change for every opened file. just click twice on the last folder and the file will be on the same folder branch
also good for pycharm
You can also make your own key combo to the "select in tree view" via prefs. I often do: shift + cmd + a and then just write select in.. and then press enter.
I'm trying to find a nice VS feature "Track Active Item in SOlution Explorer" analog in IDEA. For those who doesn't know - when I switch between files in the main area, VS will highlight the corresponding item in Solution Explorer ("Projects" pane in IDEA).
Since 2020.1 version the option is called Always Select Opened File:
For the previous versions:
In the Project View there is Autoscroll from Source option when you click on the "gear" icon:
In Rider 2020.3
Up Arrow button is Open file with single click
Down Arrow button is Always select Opened file
Look on left top of Rider, Right click on File System
Select Always select opened file
I have just installed IntelliJ 9.0.2 on a machine running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04.
How do I get another window to put on my second screen?
I would like to have both an editor and some tool windows on both screens.
All 'windows' inside of IntelliJ other than the code editor tabs have a "Float" option which pops open an independent window which you can drag to anywhere on your screen. This will allow you to manage your IDEA windows however you like.
IntelliJ also allow you to open multiple projects at once. When opening a project with one already opened, you are prompted as to wether you would like it in your current window or a "New Instance". If you choose new instance, it will open up a completely new IntelliJ with the other project in it. This will work for you if you have many projects you work on at once.
IntelliJ 14 and onwards you can select the settings cog and tick floating mode to detach menus, or drag editor tabs off the main window to detach them
If you're running on OSX you'll need to make sure it's not treating the screens as separate spaces, otherwise they'll snap back onto the same window as the main editor when switching between windows.
To do this untick Displays have separate Spaces in the Mission Control System Preferences.
IntelliJ 10 will have draggable & dockable editor tabs. A very nice feature. It's already present in the early access versions.
Is there a way to create a new class in a desired location without using the mouse in IntelliJ?
I understand there is no keyboard binding in the default keymap.
If you are already in the Project View, press Alt+Insert (New) | Class. Project View can be activated via Alt+1.
To create a new class in the same directory as the current one use Ctrl+Alt+Insert (New...).
You can also do it from the Navigation Bar, press Alt+Home, then choose package with arrow keys, then press Alt+Insert.
Another useful shortcut is View | Select In (Alt+F1), Project (1), then Alt+Insert to create a class near the existing one or use arrow keys to navigate through the packages.
And yet another way is to just type the class name in the existing code where you want to use it, IDEA will highlight it in red as it doesn't exist yet, then press Alt+Enter for the Intention Actions pop-up, choose Create Class.
You can also use: ctrl+alt+insert
With Esc and Command + 1 you can navigate between project view and editor area - back and forward, in this way you can select the folder/location you need
With Control +Option + N you can trigger New file menu and select whatever you need, class, interface, file, etc. This works in editor as well in project view and it relates to the current selected location
// please consider that this is working with standard key mapping
For Mac Os, command + 1 , then press control + return
On Mac OS 10.14.5, Idea Intellij 2019.1.3 - Press command + 1 to navigate to project files then press control + n
On Mac you can navigate to the location in Project view where you want to create your class and then use ⌘N followed by Enter.
I do this a lot, and I don't have an insert key on my laptop, so I made my own keybinding for it. You can do this by opening Settings > IDE Settings > Keymap and navigating to Main menu > File > New... (I would recommend typing "new" into the search box - that will narrow it down considerably).
Then you can add a new keyboard shortcut for it by double clicking on that item and selecting Add Keyboard Shortcut.
Alt-Home until you're in Packages view
Down-arrow until package is highlighted
Alt-insert
Enter X 2
Type name
$PROFIT$
If you use Mac, you are in luck. One can change the keymap for Intellij as Mac OS X, then you can use option+C.
In my (linux mint) system I can not get working combination alt+insert so I do the next steps:
alt+1 (navigate to "tree") --> "context button - analog right mouse click" (between right alt and ctrl) -- then with arrows (up or down) desired choice (create new class or package or ...)
Hope it helps some "mint" owners )).
I also searched this answer. Equivalent of command+N on Mac OS for Windows is ctr + alt + insert which #manyways already answered. If you searching this in settings it is in Settings > IDE Settings > Keymap, Other > New ...
If the difficulty is in finding the option that makes .java or .class files (Like me), then simply,
click on the folder you want to create file on. select new, and type file's name along with extension.
For example, instead of, helloWorld type helloworld.java or any file extension you desire.
How do I locate the current file in the project structure? (Similar to Visual Studio's Ctrl + Alt + L). What is the name of the operation (so I can define it in the keymap)
Alt + F1 (or Alt + Shift + 1 for linux) almost does what you want. You need to hit Enter afterwards as IDEA allows multiple "targets" for navigation (project structure, file structure etc).
(Note you can also set AutoScroll to Source and AutoScroll from source using the two "boxes with arrows" buttons above the project structure view but this can get annoying when it shoves you into the JDK source because you followed a reference to java.io.File.
The keymap defines it as Select current file or symbol in any view.
You can also click the little cross hairs button in the projects pane:
Note that the symbol won't be shown if Always Select Opened File (previously Autoscroll from Source) option is enabled.
Click the gear in the Project tool window and then Always Select Opened File (previously Autoscroll From Source)
"Select in project View"
Little to no memorization required, reusable for every action in Intellij:
Use Find Action:
Press Shift + cmd + A (Pretty sure
it's Shift + Ctrl + A for Windows
and Linux)
Type select in...
Select Select in Project View in the suggestion list
Do following will select your file automatically all time.
Right click on Project/Packages area > Autoscroll to Source.
Right click on Project/Packages area > Autoscroll from Source.
Please find image below.
I am using IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2 Ultimate.
Alt+F1, then press 1
And make it autoscrollable from source without hitting shortcuts every time How to make Scroll From Source feature always enabled?
There is no direct shortcut for such operation in IntelliJ IDEA 14 but you can install the plugin and set it the keyboard shortcut to the function that called "Scroll From Source" in keymap settings.
In addition to the other options, in at least IntelliJ IDEA 2017 Ultimate, WebStorm 2020.2, and probably a ton of other versions, you can do it in a single shortcut.
Edit preferences, search for Select in Project View, and under Keymap, view the mapped shortcut or map one of your choice.
On the Mac, Ctrl + Option + L is not already used, and is the same shortcut as Visual Studio for Windows uses natively (Ctrl + Alt + L, so that could be a good choice.
Open the project explorer ( default left side )
Click on the tiny wheel setting button
Mark Auto scroll from source option.
Boom! You are done.
If you are using Mac(OSX)
Based on the current tab, to select the file on project is : FN + OPTION + F1
Then in the popup you can Select in: Project View > Select In: Project
in PyCharm 2021 this hotkey named Select File In Project View
In Intellij Idea Community edition 2020.1 :
Right click on project header
Select 'Always Select Opened File'
In 2023 there is still no default shortcut for locating the current file in the Project view. However it is easy to set up a custom shortcut for it.
Open Settings, go to Keymap and search for "Select file in project view". It should be in the "Other" section and should have a crosshair icon. Right click on it and select "Add keyboard shortcut". I set it up to CTRL + SHIFT + L, but of course any unmapped key combination will work.
Enjoy! For me this is a very often used feature and having a shortcut for it is a significant productivity boost.
