One of my functions encrypts a string and one of my tests verifies that it took place. Naturally, strings like sldjf982389 are not recognized as a valid English word, so IntelliJ complains.
If there a way to suppress these warnings without adding junk to the dictionary?
You can use following #SuppressWarnings
For example idea is complaining about "contentid" that should be "contentId" according to him
#SuppressWarnings("SpellCheckingInspection")
public static final String ARG_CONTENT_ID = "contentid";
You can disable that in the Inspections menu. Click on the little green box at the top of source code, or navigate to File > Settings > Inspections, under the Project Settings divider. You can then untick the box shown below.
SUPPRESSION facility for ANY inpection is built in :
Pay attention to right arrows on the menus.
For Intellij IDEA 2020, the path to uncheck typos is File > Settings > Editor > Inspections > Proofreading > Typo
For what it's worth, on intelliJ v2019.2
Go to File > Settings > Editor > Color Scheme > General > Errors and Warnings > Typo and uncheck Effects check box. Fin!
Project-level versus Application-level dictionaries
JetBrains is apparently steering people away from the complexity of inline-code spell-checker suppressions in favor of having the word added to the appropriate dictionary.
At first, I was also seeking the inline-code suppression, however, I can see that the dictionary philosophy is easier in the bigger picture of completing work and not becoming bogged down with inline-code suppressions and the clutter thereof e.g. for words that may commonly be used elsewhere in the project or several projects.
The option to use dictionary per-project or app-wide is available.
Find controls for per-project & app-wide dictionaries at menu item Editor > Natural Languages > Spelling. See the Dictionaries section of Spellchecking page of the IntelliJ manual.
In case you want to turn off spellchecking forever (for all projects) — I just found quick and dirty hack.
Go to File / Settings, then Editor / Colors & Fonts / General. Find settings for typo errors and set color for underline to color of background.

Is there a way to list all the suggested Quick Actions for an open project in VS2017 (v15.3.3)?
I do not see any listed in the Error List window (even with "Build + IntelliSense" selected), though I do see other types of IntelliSense warnings such as CS warnings (e.g. CS1591).
(Quick Actions being the items that are marked in the gutter with a light bulb and accessed with either Alt +Enter or Ctrl+.)
Thanks to a response from the #VisualStudio twitter account, I've come across this MS Docs page that answers this question: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/code-styles-and-quick-actions?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral
It describes how to set code style preferences by opening the Tools > Options window and selecting Text Editor > C# / Basic > Code Style > General.
Here there are a list of the code style preferences. To see where they are suggested in one's own code the severity of each can be changed, say from "None" to "Suggestion" or "Warning". Then, during a build, the locations for the related style will be listed in the Build Output or Errors windows
This isn't exactly the same as what you're looking for, but could help you make changes much more quickly to the entire document, project, or solution:
When you try to apply a quick action (using Ctrl + .), you'll get a preview of the changes it will make. At the bottom of that preview is a button that says
"Apply to all occurrences in ..."
This will save you from having to go to every single occurrence in a certain scope and fixing it, which is what I've done for a couple of hours now :(
I want to indent with tabs, so I checked "Use tab character" in settings. But when I open projects which were indented with tabs, IntelliJ IDEA still asks me if I want to convert the indenting to spaces or keep it that way. Also, it creates new classes with space indenting. How can I solve this?
Your screenshot shows the settings for your Default (1) scheme. Those settings are not applied to your project automatically. It's not enough to just select it in the combobox. You need to import this scheme into your project.
Click Manage... and Copy to Project, and it should work as expected. This needs to be done for all your projects.
Also, make sure you're changing the language-spefic settings, so instead Code Style select Code Style > Java (or whatever language you are using). Those settings may override the default code styles.
I hate to ask such simple questions, but nothing I found so far helped me...
So, I've recently started using IntelliJ instead of Eclipse and there are 2 things that really bothers me...
1.) size of javadoc popup window - ok, so I finally get this little guy to pop-up whenever I need it, but it's so small I have to use scroll every single time... and that's pretty anoying when I'm working with unknown libraries...
2.) tabs == spaces - maybe some of you like this, but I don't... Eclipse was treating tabs as tabs and not spaces... I tried to change settings but with no result... or is that maybe connected with project I'm working on? (meaning, if, at the start of a project, setting were such that tabs == spaces and now changes are not applied to it)
Sorry for stupid question but, as I said, nothing I found so far helped me...
1) Just resize the window with your mouse. It will retain the size the next time it opens. You can also click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and adjust the font size. Again, it will retain the size on subsequent use.
2) I'm assuming you make the change to the "Use Tab Character" option on the "Tabs and Indents" tab for all file types and saved the Code Style. After that, you need to run the Reformat Code action (Ctrl+Alt+L or Code > Reformat Code from the menu or Reformat Code from the context menu (i.e. right-click) in The Project Tool window or Navigation Bar). IDEA retains the previous formatting (so spaces in this case) until you run a reformat on the project (or a part of it).
If you have multiple projects already created, for each one, you will need to go into File > Settings > [Project Settings] > Code Style and set the Scheme (and then do a reformat). While the Scheme definition is saved IDE wide, the scheme to use is set per project (which makes sense since an Apache Open Source project you are working on may have different code style requirements than the projects you do at work vs the ones you do for fun).
Finally, you will also want to go into File > Other Settings > Default Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Code Style and make sure your saved code style scheme (with the use tab option) is set so that new projects use that scheme when they are created.
I have a file from our repository where I ran auto-indent (because it was a mess), and now the whole file is marked by blue changebars (down the right hand side of the editor window), making it difficult to find my changes.
I am already ignoring whitespace changes in the diff window (as described here: Intellij and changes tab), is there a way to also do this in the editor window?
I couldn't find a way to completely ignore whitespaces, but IntelliJ (I'm using version 2016) lets you set an option to color whitespace-only changes differentely:
Editor -> General -> Different color for lines with whitespace-only modifications
which helps tremendously.
At the moment [idea 13.5] it seems that is not possible to ignore spaces in the standard editor. You can open a support ticket
We also faced this in the company due the different codestyles used, at the end we settle for:
setting a common codestyle that everyone editing the code should [actually must] follow
reformat the whole codebase to the given codestyle
recommit the formatted code [without any addition or deletion, just the reformat]
It took just a bit of time, but at the end now we are working far better. In this way from that moment onward, we would have all the time the code that would aesthetically the same trough next versions.
You can completely disable the highlight of whitespace modified lines in :
Settings -> Editor -> Color Scheme -> VSC -> Editor Gutter -> Whitespace-modified lines
And then uncheck the background color :
Essentially, you want Intellij to use the --ignore-all-space or --ignore-space-change upon a merge.
My developer team also deals with this challenge because we have different code formatting preferences. The result is every merge is painful for no reason. The team loves being able to have their code formatting, but this negates it.
As of now there is no solution. Intellij has the technology to ignore whitespace, so fixing this is really just adding a check box on the merge diff screen or even in the version control settings.
There is a feature requests IDEA-107714
Please up vote it!

Try this,
View --> Active Editor --> Show whitespaces
this is guaranteed to solve your problem
In vim, I can create a rule that highlights lines that are over 80 characters long. Can I do this in IntelliJ? Here's an example in vim:
I don't know if you can highlight. You might have to write a custom Code Inspection for that. But in Settings -> Code Style you can set a right margin of 80 characters and force automatic wrapping once you reach it.
Infact in Settings -> Code Style -> Java under the Wrapping and Braces Tab
there is the option Ensure right margin is not exceeded.
IntelliJ (at least v2016.2 and newer) has exactly this feature.
Under preferences go to: Editor -> Inspections -> General,
Then select: "Line is longer than allowed code style".
You can choose the severity you want, for most severities IntelliJ will underline the characters that exceed the line length limit (but you could change the style of the severity to look exactly like vim if you wanted).
(If it doesn't work, make sure "Right margin (columns):" is set under preferences Editor -> Code Style.)
You could add the JSLint Code Quality Tool.
You can set a maximum line length with that tool... if you so desire, you could disable everything else.
Then, in the Inspections part of your Project settings, enable the JSLint Inspection and set it to whatever Severity you like. This will probable highlight the whole line, but that's close enough, right? :)
I'm sure you've have already resolved this, Rose, but for other people who stumble upon this post, Raystorm's answer was correct. However, in order for the automatic line wrapping to occur, you must auto-format the code by typing Ctrl-Alt-L.
