When I run tests and open the run window using the Alt+4 shortcut, I find the cursor either in the list of tests on the left or in the console/output on the right.I would like to switch back and forth between the two using the keyboard only.
I have searched in the keymap, the online help and have posted in the RubyMine forum but could not find an answer.
Experimenting with Alt/Ctrl/Shift+Arrows/Tabs/Numbers combos did not help.
The window parts are not individually selectable in the window switcher (Ctrl+E).
I am using RubyMine 5.4.3.2.1
Thank you.
As far as I can see, using Intellij 13.0.1, or a derived IDE, like RubyMine 6 Tab should work, with certain nuances.
When the focus is on the list of tests initially, I am able to tab between the list of tests and the console - the thing is, I cant see a cursor when I tab to the console/output, but if I use shift-up/down to I can see that the console definitely has the focus.
Pressing Tab again puts focus back to the list of tests on the left.
If the focus is in the console/output initially, pressing Tab has no effect and I have to use the mouse to 'escape'.
Earlier versions, based on ItelliJ 12 seem not to support this feature.
I hope this helps.

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)
I'm a frontend developer and I have a multi-monitor setup. I have HTML code on one monitor and CSS code on another monitor.
To achieve that, I drag a tab out of IntelliJ IDEA window, so that the tab opens in a separate window.
My problem is that the secondary window lacks a menu:
Menu access hot keys (e.g. Alt+V) won't work. I can't make use of the main window's menu either because when I click it, the focus switches to the active tab of the main window.
How do I access the menu when I'm working in IDEA's secondary window?
This feature is currently not available in IntelliJ IDEA.
The alternatives I could think of to do what you want:
Consider raising a feature request on http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/
Do you think it's possible that you might not miss the menu on the detached tab if instead of accessing functionality through the menu, you did the same through keyboard shortcuts?
Personally, being a keyboard junkie, I have not felt the lack of a menu on the detached tab.
Even though Eclipse allows you to create a new window for the same workspace, I had some issues with it ( for eg: if you set a breakpoint in a file in Window 1, and started a debug session from Window 2, then the file would be re-opened in Window 2 when the breakpoint is hit) and feel that the Intellij IDEA implementation works better.
(Warning! The most Hacky suggestion) Assuming you are using Windows, there are a number of ways in which you could extend the single IntelliJ window across the two monitors and then instead of detaching a tab, you could do a 'Split Vertically' in that single window. With the slider between the tabs positioned just right, it will seem you have two windows opened with each of them having a menu.
To extend a window across two monitors see : How can you maximize a window on to dual monitors in Windows 7 or use one of the multi-monitor tools listed here or here ( I vaguely recall that it was the latter 'zbar' that I used to extend a window during my eclipse days).
Believe it or not, I have done this with Eclipse when I was sick of guessing where the file-with-the-breakpoint would open up :)
I want to move back/forward between editor tabs, using the two additional ("virtual") mouse buttons I have (RAZER DEATHADDER BLACK).
In Eclipse it's possible by default.
In IDEA I go to File->Settings->Keymap->Main menu->Window->Editor Tabs.
There I have Select Next Tab with the deault Alt+Right shortcut.
Then I open the Add Mouse Shortcut.
In that dialog I try to assign the back button of my mouse but without success. It doesn't react at all.
Anyway, googling a bit I've found this thread. I quote Alexey Gopachenko which seems to be an employee of IntelliJ:
As stated above - we can't support buttons if JDK on your platform
does not support them - and obviously it does not.
Anyway, that is totally wrong. My platform does support these keys - I actually work with them, on the same platform, on Eclipse and any other app, so it's IDEA who ignores them.
I'd appriciate a solution - how do I assign these back/forward mouse buttons?
UPDATE #1
I've found out that IDEA uses its own JAVA distribution (C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.4\jre on Windows 7), instead of the system's one - WHY?!
I'm almost SURE that is the reason I cannot use extended mouse buttons.
I've tried to trick IDEA by creating a custom Windows shortcut. Didn't work. I've also tried to create a SYMLINK in windows to my other, system-wide JRE distribution. Didn't work as well.
If someone come up with an idea on how to make it work with the system's JRE instead of its own - I think that'd solve the issue.
UPDATE #2
The above update #1 is not the issue.
I also had the same problem under OS X El Capitan. I just tried to add a new Keyboard-Shortcut and pressed than the Button 4 on the mouse and this worked.
Back/Forward mouse shortcuts work fine for me with Razer Mamba mouse, for example Back action is assigned to Button4 Click and I can confirm that it is recognized in this dialog when I click on the Click Pad area:
If it doesn't work with your mouse for some reason, you can try to workaround the problem using the Razer Configurator macro or key assignments:
Use the assigned key in IDEA keymap settings instead of the mouse shortcut.
Note that Eclipse is SWT based while IDEA is Swing based, so mouse event management is completely different. If JDK cannot recognize your device button clicks, it will not work in any Java Swing applications (NetBeans, JEdit, etc). In some cases running IDEA under a more recent JDK version may help (if support for your device was added in the newer JDK release).
I'm experiencing the exact same thing suddenly.
I realized my most recent change was to start using idea64.exe rather than idea.exe.
I switched back, and my mouse buttons are working fine again.
So, while this is not a complete answer, it seems as if it has something to do with the 64-bit version.
If the Razer driver's button mapping feature doesn't allow different mappings for a particular program, you can just assign the buttons to the mouse button number choices (mouse button 4 / mouse button 5) and then install a third party app that does support mappings for particular programs, e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/562972/how-to-map-bind-mouse-button-as-keyboard-button-in-windows-7
This question helped me although I have a Logitech Marathon Mouse M705, so I thought that I would share the solution in case other Logitech owners was in search for this.
I have a similar problem with a Logitech mouse and idea64.exe
Fortunately their SetPoint software allows for program specific settings.
This setting will have to be deleted and then reconfigured whenever you update IntelliJ and get a new idea64.exe :-)
I am experiencing a very similar problem and wanted to share my findings. I just bought a new Logitech M705 mouse. Within intelli-j the scroll right and scroll left buttons do not work. The forward and backward buttons also do not work.
I typically run intelli-j as administrator because I need higher privileges to run various tomcat services. When logging in as that user (rather than right clicking and selecting run as admin) all the buttons work! Also, when running as my normal user all the buttons work.
Also very curious is that I have an older generation Logitech mouse (same model, M705). This mouse has no problems with the scroll buttons and forward-back.
My solution for now is to use intelli-j as the user I am logged in as.
Check out this little tutorial from BetterTouchTool here. Basically for some mice (like Logitech ones) using the settings application they come with you can map default button actions to clicks and in doing so set a button number and use it as normal.
This works for my Logitech Performance MX mouse.
You can add mouse shortcuts, just click on an action in keymap and add mouse shortcut.
Alternatively Ctrl+Tab brings up switcher, which may be less clicks to navigate.
I'm currently trying to workaround some apparent shortcomings of cocoa touch application tests in Xcode 4 (see this related question). Since failures of application tests are not highlighted in the editor window like failures of logic tests, I find myself using the mouse to scroll through the output window to see the results of failed tests.
I would prefer to use keyboard commands if possible to quickly look at the results of the tests and then quickly move back to the editor. Are there some keyboard shortcuts in Xcode 4 for maximizing and minimizing the output window?
It looks like Command+Shift+Y opens and closes the debug area, but I don't know of a keyboard shortcut to maximize it.
Here's a nice cheat sheet you can print out with lots of keyboard shortcuts.
I haven't found a direct shortcut, but along with Jose Ibanez shortcut, here are some relevant ones.
Cmd+0 Toggle left pane
Cmd+Alt+0 Toggle right pane
Cmd+Shift+Y Toggle bottom pane
I've got a rather Javascript-heavy page with lots of contents generated via AJAX or other scripts. On some of these elements Selenium can record mouse clicks, while on others it ignores them. I haven't found any correlation. Perhaps there are some known common scenarios where Selenium cannot intercept mouse clicks?
Unfortunately not all clicks in Selenium are equal. Some are mouseDown and MouseUp or a variation on that. I would play around with that to get your app working.
Unfortunately Selenium IDE has been misrepresented. It is a Record/Tweak/Playback tool not a record/playback tool.
There's no list of actions that are unreliable. In my experience there's no pattern to which elements work, but it's consistent throughout executions of the test. In case you were thinking about it, playing around with locators or UI-Elements is very unlikely to improve your results.
I recently had a situation with a number of dropdown menus, all implemented in the same way, on multiple different pages. On certain pages, dropdown #2 and #3 wouldn't work, yet on other pages they would work, but dropdowns #1 and #2 wouldn't.
As has already been pointed out, the best thing to do is stop thinking about Selenium IDE as a record-playback tool.
On a sidenote, you may be asking this question for a similar reason I was, which was wanting to use Selenium IDE as a frontend for teammates without Selenium programming experience to create tests with, then one thing I did find helpful was extending the Selenium IDE by adding a Command Builder, which allows you to control what appears in the right-click menu when using the IDE.
This means you can press record, go about recording your test as normal while keeping an eye on what has been recorded. Once you see Selenium IDE has failed to record an action, you can just right-click the element and the action you wanted to record will be easily available.
Not a solution to your original question, but it's helped me out. It's very simple to write an extension to the right-click menu, there's some really good examples on this Selenium website.
I'm a 100% selenium noob, but I had the same problem and solved it through the following workaround:
Right-click the to-be-clicked item
Choose a random command that has the entire locator text, e.g. assertText //div[2]/div[5]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/div IR or something. Look inside "Show all available commands" too.
In the Selenium IDE, change the command to "click" and remove the 2nd argument (the Value field; if any)
Hacky, and should be easily improved with a custom command in the right-click menu, but for now this works fine for me.
Did you try clickAt with location (0,0)? It sometimes helps
If you have assigned an ID to the element you want to click I would suggest you try a simple script, you can perform this through the IDE:
runScriptAndWait
jQuery("#yourButton").trigger('click');
I have used this in the past and it works just fine.
