And what are counterparts to eclipse's declaration view and javadoc view?
In the Project View click on the "gear" icon and enable the Open Files with Single Click option:
Use Ctrl+Q for Quick JavaDoc and Ctrl+Shift+I for the declaration pop-up.
Now it's available in a simpler way. In the Project View click on the Gear icon and then click Open Files with Single Click:
Go to Preferences and turn on Enable preview tab, that will enable Open Files with Single Click for all projects.
Javadoc opens with Ctrl+Q
There's no declaration view per se, however, you probably will be satisfied with Ctrl+Shift+I shortcut for quick lookup.
Don't know of any ways to configure it to open files on single clicks. Somehow, if you get used to the shortcuts, you skip using mouse very much. For instance, Alt+Home will bring the navigation bar up and you can move with arrows and open the file with Enter. Or just use some other shortcuts like Ctrl+N or Ctrl+E depending on the context.

In IntelliJ, there are some underlined numbers on the side menus :
1: Project
7: Structure
Like below :
So there is probably a keyboard shortcut which allows to navigate from one view to another by just entering the view number.
I tried the different digits with Ctrl, Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt etc but could not find the right shortcut.
How can I easily navigate between those views?
The shortcut is Alt + [number]
ps. There's a plugin force-shortcuts if you wanna replace your mouse click actions with shortcuts (https://github.com/treytrahin/force-shortcuts-intellij-plugin). It's super annoying but you learn really fast. And by the way here are such plugins to most editors and IDEs.
ALT+F1 opens a window where you can choose one of the views by pressing the corresponding number.
Info: It actually opens the selected file in the selected view - which is not that bad maybe - but not 100% what you want?
Also there are cool things like pressing C to open a file chosen in Project Explorer directly in Explorer for example.
I'm big on not using the mouse, especially while writing code. I've noticed in IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1 that when I'm navigating in the project window, hitting Enter while a particular file is selected opens the file in an editor, but it doesn't place the cursor in the editor. Interestingly, if I double-click on the file in the project window, the cursor is placed in the editor.
How do I configure IntelliJ to place the cursor in the editor after opening the file via Enter from the project window?
To the best of my knowledge, I do not believe there is a way to configure what you are looking for. A search for focus in the settings didn't turn up anything.
That said, hitting Esc when in the project view will return you to the editor. So you would need to do Enter, Esc. If having to type two keys in a row bothers you, you could always record a macro (Edit > Macros) to do that key sequence and map it to a shortcut.
I can't find a hotkey for the feature "Scroll from Source".
What is the difference between Scroll from Source and Scroll to Source as well?
In the latest IntelliJ IDEA, there is a keymap entry called "Select in Project View" with no default shortcut. Just add a shortcut key to it. No need for a plugin.
tldr;
Alt + F1, then 1
First checkout your shortcut key for the "Select In.." item in the Navigate menu.
Click in the file you're editing, hit the shortcut key for "Select in".. then press 1.
I've changed the hotkey for select in to Alt + 1 so that my key combination is the easy to remember Alt + 1, 1
There is a plugin for this now.
It's called Scroll From source:
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7606?pr='
This is now builit in see #Dimitrov answer
https://stackoverflow.com/a/42025214/961018
There's no configurable shortcut in the Keymap settings, and it does not appear in the "Enter action" dialog, so I'm pretty sure it's not (yet) configurable, even if I agree it would be very appreciable.
You can use the navigation bar Shortcut keys as well.
On Mac
Hit ⌘ + ↑ (command and up key)
Hit ← (left arrow)
Hit ⌘ + Enter
This will take you to the folder in project view.
It's worth having a play round with the navigation bar.
IntelliJ really have this covered :)
For ubuntu i did ALT+L (cause ALT + F1 is busy), then just enter.
If you are using JetBrains Rider, then the shortcut is Locate in Solution Explorer:
As a much much much much much better alternative to the scroll from source functionality you can use the Navigation bar.
Note: double clicking on the folder in the navigation bar will scroll to that folder in the Project view, (i.e. the same functionality as scroll from source).
You can show the navigation bar in the view menu, there's also a shortcut for each OS (cmd and up arrow ⌘ + ↑ on OSX, Alt + Home on Linux and Windows)
So it looks like this...
And it allows you to browse through the folder structure containing the file in focus in the main editor.

In Ubuntu 18 you can disable shortcut Alt+F1, the super key(windows key) do same thing.
At moment i disable/changed this shortcuts of ubuntu
Alt+F7 --> windows+F7
Ctrl+Alt+L --> windows+L
Alt+F1 --> windows
Another better way:
The Shortcut is called Select in Projec View
The default shortcut is
CTRL+Alt+1
or you can edit this.

UPDATE: Now you can easylly use Shift+Alt+1 in Gnome Keymap or Alt+F1 in Windows Keymap
Blockquote
If I understand correctly you don't want to toggle the option so much as trigger the file browser tool window with the selection being the currently edited file.
Just leave 'Scroll From Source' enabled and open the file browser with Command + 1 on OSX or CTRL + 1(i think) on Windows. The file browser sidebar will be selected and your selection will be highlighted.

In JetBrains Rider, this action used to be named Locate in Solution Explorer, but is now (v2019.2) named Locate/Select in Solution View and by default (at least with the built-in ReSharper keymap) bound to Alt+Shift+L.
In my IntelliJ Idea 13.1.2 IDE I keep running into situations where I'm selecting on a click and drag via my laptop touch pad. I keep accidentally clicking and dragging text and cutting lines. I've searched the options and settings panels for the words click and drag but I don't see a way to turn this feature off. IntelliJ's help talks about how to use click and drag cutting but doesn't say how to disable it.
Does anyone know how to disable cut and paste through click and drag in the IntelliJ IDE?
I found it in Settings → Editor → General.
Under the Mouse heading. The option is called "Enable Drag'n'Drop functionality in editor".
This also seems to disable drag and drop moving of files though.
In WebStorm 2020.1 (and presumably in other Jetbrains IDEs), the related option 'Move code fragments with drag-and-drop' is in Preferences > Editor > General:
Unchecking the checkbox does the trick without unwanted side effects such as also disabling the drag-and-drop operations for files etc.
There is no way to disable Drag-n-drop highlighted text in the editor itself!!! ALT guard for drag-n-drop files is a good idea as I accidentally drag and drop files on daily basis. Kudos for discovering that I just enabled it.
I have contacted Intellij support to give us a setting that we can disable in editor drag and drop. I think that is a stupid feature in the first place...
Sometimes I close folder/package in Project Tool Window and then I should click every folder in it to open them . How to avoid this and open all folders/packages quickly?
* on numpad
Also see IDEA guide about Title bar context menu and customize project window as you need.
Navigate to any folder / package by name! Use the shortcut Shift+Ctrl+N(on Mac ⇧+⌘+N) in the pop-up window type name of folder / package, and end of name add /, for example src/. See here guide for more understanding.
Use the great feature Speed Search for quick navigation:
And also use shortcut Alt+1 to open, Shift+Esc to hide Project Tool Window.
after every press numpad * folders will be expaned more and more
