I was wondering, if anyone know about this kind of shortcut:
lets say I'm searching for something and get a results window with many results, is there a shortcut that can navigate me inside the list without mouse help?
In IntelliJ IDEA 11.0.2
Whenever I do a "Find in Path" using Ctrl+Shift+F and the search completes, the focus is already in the search results and the arrow keys can be used to navigate.
If the focus isn't in the search window, there can be an Alt+# combo that will take you to the window. In my setup, it is Alt+3 (the label on my "Find" tab is "3: Find", so it's easy to see that Alt-3 is the right combo.)
I suspect that I may not understand what you're looking for, but maybe it is helpful.

When I use the shortcut associated with "search.action.focusNextSearchResult" in vscode while searching something nothing happens.
This action is initially associated with F4 which is also used for other shortcuts. I thought it may be the problem so I reassigned it to an unused shortcut but it did not help.
I am using the extension "Emacs Friendly Keymap" (don't know if it can cause the problem).
Do you know how I could make it work?
That shortcut, used to go to the next search result, only works in a search editor. It has these context keys:
hasSearchResult || inSearchEditor
Are you using it in a separate search editor? It does work there. Here is one way to open a Search Editor:
If you are using the Find widget then use either of these:
Enter when focus is still in the Find widget or F3 when focus is in the editor.
If you are doing a search across files, then just a downarrow will go to the next result.
Hi I have to make a lot of searches in InteliJ and I want navigate between findings of searched text and code preview of specific file.
I tried to search it on web, and also combination of shortcuts like tab, ctrl+tab and many more but nothing work.. Do you know how to switch between those two windows?
right now I have to click it with mouse to focus on one of the windows.
The code preview window is intended to be used as exactly that - a preview, not a UI to be used for complex editing operations. If you need to do anything with the search results, use the "Open in Find Window" button to open the toolwindow with the results. After that, you can use for example Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down to navigate between the occurrences, or other keyboard shortcut to switch between the toolwindow and the editor.
IntelliJ tells me that I write words wrongly. That is cool. However, it does not give me any suggestions how to write them correctly, making this feature only half as useful as it could be. Can I get IntelliJ to make spelling suggestions? Working on KDE, many of my usual programs use the KDE spelling and thus are able to make suggestions...
I am using IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.4.
Right Click on the misspelled word -> Spelling -> Typo: Change to...
Right click or press
Alt + Enter
on the misspelled word. It will display a menu like this -
On the first option, you have a sub menu which you can expand on the right but to access the spell check options, you need to select the option itself that is highlight in the screenshot above, and it will replace the context menu with another one, listing the possible spelling suggestions -
I too struggled finding this option. The menu option available (first screenshot) looks like "can be expanded only" and is not at all selectable, visibly.
Is there a shortcut for focusing the Filter box in tool windows, specifically the Change Log?
See the attached screenshot to know which field I'm talking about. I searched the net and key map, but found nothing like that.
I have confirmed at Jetbrains that unfortunately it's not possible yet: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/message/5520523#5520523
Just start typing with the focus inside the tool window. IDEA invokes the search automatically. To select the item, press Enter. To cancel, press Esc.
This feature is called Tool Window Speed Search.
A feature that I used a lot in Eclipse is the Search History, which remembers searches you performed in the past and gives you quick access to them. I cannot seem to replicate this functionality in IntelliJ - it seems that I have to start a new search each time. Does this feature exist, or does anyone know of a plugin that provides such a feature?
I think what you're looking for is the "Open in new tab" checkbox at the bottom of the "Find in path" dialog. For me by default it was disabled. When you enable it, you will have search results open in separate tabs every time, so accessing historic searches will be much easier.
For recent "Find Usages", open the "Find" window (Cmd 3); click the settings button in the "Find" window toolbar; in the settings dialog check the checkbox "Open in new tab".
Inside 'Find' dock press Alt+Down to see 'Recent Find Usages' dropdown.
Search history intellij alt up or alt down.
For in-file search there is Recent Searches drop down if you press the down arrow key, the same is available for the Find in Path dialog.
Alt+down arrow is what you are looking for...
First press Ctrl+Shift+f and then alt+down arrow
for more info check IntelliJ website:

Using Alt+down works to see previous Finds, but by default only 1 Tab is open.
Of course the setting for opening new Finds in a new Tab can be found in a slightly different place than when the first answer was posted. It can now be found by right-clicking the top bar (or the "Show options menu" gear-icon) -> View Options -> Open Results in New Tab.
Click on the magnifying icon in the find window and you will see it. It is not intutive. I'd expect it to list the previous searches when I click on the text box window.
just when you user find by path, right corner of the search you will find the "open
in find window" there you will see history as shown in the image and you can pin the search history you need . just hit the <- arrow button in the left panel of find window, you would see the history
