I am just evaluating IntelliJ IDEA. Installed it with default procedures.
I created a simple Spring project and when I right click on the project, not able to see the the bottom part of the pop up menu. The issue is because of my laptop screen's height is less and could not fit the entire set of pop-up menu items.
In eclipse there is a drop down arrow, so that I can scroll to the menu items, which do not fit in the screen. How can I get the similar eclipse functionality in IntelliJ?
Well, you are only missing one useful feature (Genereate Java code from wsdl). I would ignore it unless you need to generate such code.
If you want to run this generation you can do this with Ctrl + Shift + A (and start typing feature name)
//btw, it is better to make code generation in maven anyway

Am new to IntelliJ IDEA (am using 2017.1.3)...
By accident when I was debugging a sample unit test, I accidentally detached the Debugger's Variables tab from the entire IDE - its floating now. Is there a way to reattach this to be at the bottom and side by side of the Debug tab (like it used to be)? I tried a bunch of different approaches and when I hit my breakpoint it still floats (like a modal) outside IntelliJ IDEA. Can IntelliJ's views be customized (kind of like Eclipse's Perspectives and Views)? It seems like JetBrains calls views: tabs and calls Perspective: active window. Is IDEA customizable like Eclipse?
Attached is a screenshot of my plight...
Inside the window frame, grab the tab that says "Variables" with your mouse. Drag it into the debugger panel.
I am using IntelliJ 2016.1 and wondering if where to find a list of "Scratches"? In Android Studio it was in the drop down Project menu.
I have looked through all the settings and cannot find it.
Do Scratches ONLY apply to Java? Or can I use them for PHP/Python?
I can use a HOTKEY can create a Scratch, but I dont know how to get it on my menu.
Does anyone know?
#Regarding the first answer, here is what I have, Im baffled (Im on Linux if it matters)!
And this which doesn't expand:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/scratches.html#rename_scratch
If you click the sideways triangle after Packages you can select scratches.
Then check the Scratches checkbox.
Or you can bring up the Select Target menu by pressing Alt F1 and then navigating to Project View and then Scratches.
Scratches can be in any language.
Whenever I use the navigation pop-up (ie, the "Go To File" modal) in IntelliJ IDEA, there's a horizontal scrollbar that shows up sometimes, which hides the last result, or hides the only result:
Is there any way to hide this scrollbar? In a practical sense, I can of course tell that it's probably found the correct file, and worst case I just go to the wrong file. Just a minor annoyance, really.
Note: I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.2 under Ubuntu 14.04, using the Unity windows manager. This doesn't happen in the OSX version.

In Eclipse I could hit Ctrl+O and get a popup which I could use to get an overview of everything in the current class, pick an entry, and jump to it.
In idea, there is Alt+7, but I have a few issues with it. First, the keyboard doesn't seem to put its focus there. I have to take my hand off the keyboard and use the mouse to place the focus on the Structure dock.
I also don't like how it's taking up real estate. I don't want to change how things are laid out if I want to see the structure. I would like a more non-invasive popup, and handier and snappier.
Is there another feature that gives me quick access in the form of a popup preferably, like Ctrl+O provides in Eclipse?
Another nice feature would be to be able to use the J and K keys to move up and down the selection, instead of having to use the cursor keys. I'm using IdeaVim, so the normal workflow when editing files, is that both hands stay in a touch-type position. It would be nice if I can use the various navigation features also using vim keys...
Perhaps there is a way to enable this, that I haven't discovered yet?
IntelliJ equivalent of Eclipse's CTRL+O is CTRL+F12 (⌘+F12 on Mac), which will give you more or less the same pop-up as in Eclipse. But I'm not sure if it can be navigated using j and k keys.
More details can be found in the IntelliJ help.
Currently my IntelliJ shows amongst other things
How do i decide
What tool windows are shown
Where they are shown
Those things are called Tool Windows, and you can find them at View > Tool Windows.
To disable some of them, you can install the plugin ToolWindow Manager and disable one by one.
You can enable/disable all tool windows in Settings > Appearance > Show tool window bars
You can find more information about them here.
These are called "Tool Windows". If you right click on them it shows a menu that at the bottom has a "Hide" option. I notice some of them can't be hidden, but you can drag them to other places that are out of your view. For example, you can drag them from the bottom to the side. You can also drag to answer your second question.
