Is it possible to remove empty/blank lines using code formatting in Intellij IDEA?
Yes. It is possible to configure the number of blank lines in the settings menu (CTRL+ATL+S): File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java(or Scala or whatever your language is) -> Blank Lines
File >> Setting >> Editor >> Code style java >>Blank lines tab
You should change to 0 in code label(as picture), It would remove all unnecessary blank line when press format shortcut: ctrl + alt + L
You can find and replace with regex option also ^(?:[\t ]*(?:\r?\n|\r))+. It searches all empty lines in file. You need to just replace it with empty
I use regular expressions to remove extra blank lines from the code. Here are the instructions.
Open Find and Replace dialog. Use shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+R.
In the search box type ^(?:[\t ]*(?:\r?\n|\r)){2,}. This will search for two ore more blank lines.
In a replace box type \n. This will replace with one blank line.
Open Reformat Code dialog and click Run. Use shortcut CTRL+ALT+L.
This works on all JetBrains IDEs. Use the screenshot as referece.
Just in case it helps someone using newer versions of Intellij, in Intellij IDEA 2016.2.4 it is File -> Other Settings -> Default Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java(or Scala or whatever your language is) -> Blank Lines
For those trying to remove blank lines at the end of the file, this became a feature as of August 2020.
The proper place to configure this action is under Settings|Editor|General|On Save. Check "Remove trailing blank lines"

Am trying to shift multiple lines of code in intellij IDEA by a single space using Tab shortcut but it always shifts by 4 spaces rather than a space. I have tried Edit > Convert Indent > To spaces but to no avail.
How do you shift multiple lines of code by a single space without messing with the default configuration for the file?
As #Andrey already suggested, I would use the Multi Cursor feature that has been around since intellij idea version 13.
I like the Add selection on Next Occurrence feature very much. It helps me to edit multiple lines very fast.
This screenshot shows the action in the Settings -> Keymap screen.
I have this code for example:
$sql = Yii::$app->db->createCommand("UPDATE {{%users}} SET foo=:foo, bar=:bar");
Now if I go in and put my cursor just before SET and press enter, PHPStorm will place the code at the start of the next line. Is there anyway to get it to indent so it goes under the UPDATE or similar automatically?
I think you are looking for "Continuation indent".
You can set this parameter in Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> (the language you want) -> Tabs and Indents -> Continuation Indent (set to number of spaces you want)
I occasionally need to go line-by line and change the indentation of the code.
Is there a shortcut in Pycharm where I can add spaces (format the indent) in the begining of multiple lines simultaneously without processing each line individually?
Highlight/ select the lines you want indented, then press TAB as often as needed until they reach the proper indent level.
You can remove spaces with SHIFT TAB.
You can also use CTRL+ALT+I to auto-indent the selection.
Select the block that you want to indent then press TAB. It will work.
To auto indent all the codes in Pycharm just press these sequencies:
CTR + A to select all the text files and then press
CTRL+ALT+I
Select all that you want to indent, then do CTRL+ALT+I to indent all of it. This should work in Pycharm
Use shift +alt on windows machine
Continuation indent for Mac pro: Preferences -> Editor -> Code Style -> the language -> Tabs and Indents
If Ctrl + ALT + I is not working and every time needs to press the Insert button to get the pointer.
So go to Tools -> Select Vim if it is checked then it will be disabled.
Now you can intend code directly selecting multiple lines.
I have a text file that looks like:
a=12
b=13
c=14
d =15
e = 16
f = 17
Some of the numbers have spaces after them. Some don't. Some have tabs etc.
It seems that when i am in InteliJ's editor any place i click on is well .. clickable.
How can i restrict it by actual line length?
Settings -> Editor -> Allow placement of caret after end of line.
You can set the global code style to do things like put spaces around the assignment operator, and then do a global "reformat code" by selected text, file, or entire project.
I use IntelliJ 12:
Is there a way to have my line reformatted upon completing it in IntelliJ? (For those familiar, this kind of feature is available on FlashDevelop.)
Let's says I just entered this code in PHP:
$var=array("a","b","c");
Upon entering the semicolon, I would like the editor to reformat it to (or whatever my configuration states):
$var = array("a", "b", "c");
This auto-reformat trigger could also be executed on brackets and other line-terminators characters.
There is no such feature in IDEA. You can use Reformat Code (Ctrl + Alt + L) action when needed.
You can actually do something like.
Go to where you want to insert ;
Tools/Start Macro Recording
Type in ;
Then select Code/Auto Indent Lines
Tools/Stop Macro Recording
Name the macro "reformat"
Now go to settings, Keymap, Macros, select "reformat"
Assign a keyboard shortcut of ;
You may have to play with it a bit to get your cursor in the right spot after the macro runs.
This is based on jhormans answer above and i know that the question is more than 6 years old. But IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1.5 still does not have a feature that automatically reformats the current line when semicolon is pressed like VisualStudios.
The workaround is to create a macro as described by jhorman but after pressing ';' run Code -> Reformat Code. Then stop recording and under Settings/Keymap/Macros add the shortcut "Shift+Comma" to the macro. Now when typing the semicolon by pressing Shift + Comma in the code, the code will be reformated aswell. The only shortcoming: the whole code will be reformated each time Shift+Comma is pressed. This may take a second on large files.
This workaround will only work if you just have one line terminator like semicolon. To automatically reformat the code on multiple line terminators (closing brackets, semicolon, ...) you would need to add the shortcuts to "Settings" -> "Keymap" -> "Main Menu" -> "Code" -> "Reformat Code" directly. In this case there's no need to create a macro.
Just formatting the current line isn't possible as far as i know.
