132．Pressing the same shortcut after you have invoked Smart-type Completion will search for chained expressions which have expected type.

 

133．When using Code Completion, you can accept the currently highlighted selection in the popup list with the Ctrl+Shift+Enter, IntelliJ IDEA will not just insert the selected string, but also will do its best to turn current code construct into syntactically correct one (balance parentheses, add missing braces and semicolons, etc.)

134．When using Code Completion in Java, you can accept the currently highlighted selection in the popup list with the exclamation sign (!) character. It will be inserted before the boolean method or variable you were completing, thus negating the whole expression.

 

135．To quickly complete a method call of a static method located anywhere in your project, libraries or JDK, enter a prefix and press Ctrl+空格 twice. You'll see all the matching methods. If you want the method you chose to be imported statically, press Alt+Enter and see what happens:

 

136．When you invoked Basic Completion (Ctrl+空格) in Java and didn't find your desired class in the list, it means that it's not yet imported in current file. Pressing Ctrl+空格 once more to view all accessible classes.

 

137．Pressing the same shortcut after you have invoked Smart-type Completion when an array type is expected will search for collections with same component type and suggest to convert them using toArray() call.

 

138．You can switch between sorting completion variants by relevance or alphabetically by using an icon at the bottom right:

 

139．Postfix code completion is applied "from right to left" and lets you avoid backward caret jumps when coding. After the code fragment that you want to change, type a dot (.), optionally press Ctrl+J and select the desired option.

 

140．Scratch files allow you experiment and prototype right in the editor, without creating any project files.To create a scratch file, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Insert, and then select its language.

 

141．If you've changed a live template, it becomes blue.

145．Make your printouts (File | Print) nice and informative with the help of keywords.For example, use $DATE$ and $TIME$ to specify the exact date and time of the printout.

146．When in a Code Completion lookup, press Ctrl+Q to show documentation for a lookup item, including class constructors.So doing, if a class has more than one constructor, the links are shown:

 

Following a link shows documentation for the selected constructor.

147．Have you noticed the buttons    marking differences in the Differences viewer?You can simply apply differences between panes, by clicking one of these chevron buttons.Keep the Ctrl key pressed, and the chevron buttons change to   . Click one of these buttons to append contents of the current pane of the Differences viewer to the other pane.If you keep Shift pressed, the chevrons turn into  . Click this button to revert changes.

148．Hover your mouse pointer over a warning, error stripe or just some section of source code on the scroll bar outside of the scroll box, and you will see a lens:

 

If the lens annoys you, get rid of it by clearing the check box on the context menu of the code analysis marker:

 

149．To select multiple fragments in the "column mode", keep Control+Alt+Shift(on Windows and Linux) or Cmd+Alt+Shift(on MAC), and drag your mouse cursor:

 

150．You can easily select multiple fragments of text. To do that, it's enough to keep Alt+Shift and drag your mouse cursor:

 

151．To select multiple words, press Alt+Shift, place the caret at each word to be selected and double-click the left mouse button.

 

152．You don't need to invoke quick documentation explicitly (Ctrl+Q) - if you just move your mouse pointer over the desired symbol, the quick documentation pop-up window will show automatically.To enable this feature, select the check box Show quick doc on mouse move in the editor settings.

153．To see all the available scratch files, choose Scratches view in the Project tool window.

 

154．Did you know that it's possible to copy rich text ?Make sure that the check box Copy rich text by default in the General page of the Editor settings/preferences is selected:

 

155．Did you know that you can remove just those tool window buttons you don't currently need?It's quite easy to do - just right-click the button you want to hide, and on the context menu choose Remove from Sidebar .

 

156．To open any particular file in the editor quickly, press Ctrl+Shift+N (Navigate | File) and start typing its name.Choose symbol from the drop-down list that appears.

 

 

157．Ctrl+Y in the editor deletes the whole line at the caret.

158．Pressing Alt+/ helps complete words in the visible scope - so doing, the prototypes are highlighted.

 

Use Alt+Shift+/ to do same in reverse order.

159．Mind that you can move method parameters in both declaration and invocation. To do that, use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+向左箭头/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+向右箭头.Moreover, it's possible to propagate such a move in a method declaration to the method invocations - just immediately after move press Alt+Enter, and choose Apply signature change.

 

160．Use Analyze | Inspect Code to run code analysis for the whole project or a custom scope and examine the results in a friendly view.

161．A special variant of the Code Completion feature invoked by pressing Ctrl+空格 twice allows you to complete XML tag names from namespaces not declared in the current file. If the namespace is not declared yet the declaration is generated automatically.
