IntelliJ IDEA Tips & Tricks by Anton Arhipov

Modern IDEs are pretty complex. Even IDE developers say they sometimes discover new features only while reading the IDE's code. Does this sound familiar: your colleague is trying to find a class in the project tree, and they don't remember a class name, so you are trying hard not to scream: "Just press Ctrl+Shift+E!!!".
Generally, developers use their IDEs and do not utilize the power of automated refactorings, shortcuts, fast navigation, and other excellent features that IDEs provide. The audience will learn many tips and tricks along with different shortcuts.
This session takes you through the cool features of IntelliJ IDEA: refactorings, shortcuts, fast navigation, code completion, live templates, structured search, THE DEBUGGER, AI assistant, and other gems that the IDE provides for better productivity.

Postfix templates are simply the best feature. I love not having to go back and forth to refactor/augment code.

'Presentation assistant' feature makes the bottom-left tooltip showing command name. That's what I've looked for!

[@Miptalan]

@AntonArhipov thank you for the talk, inspiring productivity! Found myself writing down shortcuts to put in front of me in the office 🙃 Do you have all those mentioned in the talk as a list by any chance?

[@AntonArhipov]

Not for this talk, but you can find a nice pdf with the shortcuts in IntelliJ IDEA under the Help | Keyboard Shortcuts menu. I also recommend checking out the Productivity guide (under the Help menu)

Second hardest problem - Hot keys logic.. is any 'rules' or it done by just checking 'available' shortcut?

Not showing tabs is wild

[@AntonArhipov]

Wild at first, convenient after some time

[@mtrajano973]

Showing tabs for 20 opened files and trying to find the right one is wild

[@_Superpants]

no tabs is so clean. I always hated to close my dozens of open tabs to get a bit more peace of mind. never going back to tabs 😄

I have them turned on, if I have more of them, I use Ctrl + E anyway
