Resetting IntelliJ refactoring defaults - intellij-idea

I have set some defaults on IntelliJ's method renaming functionality [specifically 'rename string usages'] and its causing me pain.
How do I remove these defaults? I can't find it in the project settings

Use the Refactor | Rename keyboard shortcut twice to get the dialog with options:
Note the hint at the bottom of the popup.

intelliJ automatically formating variables first

with ctrl-alt-L I can format the code of a class which works fine.
Is there also a shortcut to automatically sort codelines so the variables comes first and methods later ?
The action for this is Rearrange Code in the Code menu. It does not have a shortcut assigned by default, but you can assign one in Settings | Keymap.

Remove automated closing bracket comments in IntelliJ IDEA

I'm seeing following happen when working in intelliJ IDEA with Dart based project
All comments there i.e // AppBar are auto generated, I assume for easier tracking of what closing brackets belong where. Weird bit is that I can't even highlight them, nor delete them and when I copy code they are not copied over.
Is there a way to disable this feature in the ide?
The checkbox is in Settings (Preferences) | Editor | General | Appearance, toggle 'Show closing labels in Dart source code'.
And in the vs code editor, change this setting to false
"dart.closingLabels": true
You can find this setting easily. Go setting and search(Ctrl+f) dart.closingLabels
Update 24.11.2019:
If you want to customize the closing label color, you can do this. In vscode, open your settings.json file and set this setting
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"dart.closingLabels": "#FF5733"
},

Disable copying entire line when nothing is selected in Intellij

I have recently started using Intellij and I noticed that by default, when you do ctrl+c for copying something when you have nothing selected, it copies the entire line into the clipboard overriding what I had in there before.
This is really annoying yet I cannot seem to figure out how to disable it. I am aware that there is a paste history you can use however this is not what I am after, I just want to disable it like you can do with sublime text.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour so that when I press ctrl+c and nothing is selected it just leaves the clipboard alone?
Since version 2021.2 there is a dedicated Don't copy/cut the current line when invoking the Copy or Cut action with no selection setting for this in Preferences | Advanced Settings on the Mac, Settings | Advanced Settings on other platforms.
For older IntelliJ Platform based IDE's the setting is more hidden:
Invoke Help | Find Action... (Ctrl (Cmd on Mac)+Shift+A), type Registry and select the Registry... item that appears. Enable the editor.skip.copy.and.cut.for.empty.selection option there. Be careful with the other configuration options, because it is possible to break your IntelliJ IDEA installation with an incorrect setting.
In Mac OS X:
Press cmd+shift+a.
Type registry and press return to
open the Registry.
Enable the editor.skip.copy.and.cut.for.empty.selection option.
Click Close.
I suppose it should be same as in WebStorm, or someone might be searching WebStorm solution as I did:
Open the settings: File > Settings > Advanced Settings (bottom of the list).
Start typing "editor".
Check the editor.skip.copy.and.cut.for.empty.selection
Click "OK" or "Apply"
On: WebStorm 2022.3.1
in PHPStorm -> From the Help menu, select Edit Custom Properties.
and paste
editor.skip.copy.and.cut.for.empty.selection = true

Rename using suggested var name with resharper

I'm Using resharper 6 nighty builds and VB.net. I've a big medium project with multiple files that don't follow the code style conventions of my company.
I've configured resharper with my own convenctions and It suggest to me the right name for each variable (perfect!).
But I can't find any automagic way to make the current name to be replaced with the suggested name.
Are there any way to do it? If not ... did you know ane fearure of coderush Xpress to achieve it?
Thanks.
If you've configured ReSharper with your naming conventions, then it should show a warning (blue squiggly underline) under any identifiers that don't comply. If you put the text cursor on one of those misnamed identifiers, you should see a pyramid icon appear near the left margin. Then you can press Alt+Enter (or click the pyramid icon) to drop down a quick-fix menu. There should be an option in the menu to "Rename to '_myField'". Usually it's the first item in the list, so you can just press Enter again to do the rename.
If you want to do this on everything in a source file, you can use the ReSharper > Inspect > Next Issue in File command (or its keyboard shortcut -- F12 in the IDEA keymap) to move the cursor to the next warning in the file. Then, if it's another name warning, you can use Alt+Enter, Enter again to fix it.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to automatically fix every instance of a warning at once (though it's been requested; please feel free to vote for RSRP-126551 in their issue tracker).

Disable reformatting code when saving files

I made a small change to an old java file in IntelliJ and when I save the file the IDE automatically reformats all the code. Normally this would be preferable, however it seems almost every line has unnecessary white space that gets cleaned up. Now it appears the entire file was modified even though I only made a small fix. This will make looking at the significant changes in VCS more difficult.
Is there a way to disable code reformatting when a file gets saved? So far I haven't had any luck finding the setting in the Project Settings dialog. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.2
Alternatively I could perform the reformat, commit the changes, and then make my modification but I feel that this will end up happening a lot and I don't want to impose my formatting preferences on code owned by other groups.
Settings | Editor | General > Other | Strip trailing spaces on Save -> None.
Updated for IntelliJ Idea 2021+
Settings | Editor | General > On Save | Remove trailing spaces on: <...> -> None.
For newer versions (at least WebStorm 2018), Ctrl + S is bound to a save Macro that has a reformat code action followed by save.
You can remove this reformat with Ctrl + Shift + A search for Macro then modify the save one.
Edit | Macros | Edit Macros | save | - on the Action: Reformat...
You can add these comments to make it temporarily disable formatting on the file, or a specific function:
// #formatter:off
If you want one section to remain, you can also add this:
// #formatter:on
IntelliJ Documentation Link
If #formatter:off is not working, you can enable it in preferences:
Today in 2020 IDEA is silently formatting HTML before commit, which might break your web pages appearance. To disable that unselect this checkbox:
Preferences -> Tools -> Actions on save -> uncheck "Reformat Code"
Settings > Tools > Actions on save > first line with checkbox "Reformat code"
change "Whole file" to "Changed lines"
As it advertise only the modified lines will be affected by formatting on save.
