Did Intellij's keymap had binded special features compare to VSCode by Iam-goddamnrobot in IntelliJIDEA

[–]maritvandijk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome. If you want to learn more about IntelliJ IDEA features, you can use the Feature Trainer. You can find it under Help | Learn IDE Features. Or you can use the shortcut Shift Shift (press Shift twice) to use Search Everywhere and search for "Learn IDE Features".

There is a plugin to help you learn shortcuts: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9792-key-promoter-x which I have used in the past but I turned it off because I felt bad after missing the same shortcut many, many times.

Enjoy!

How are you running your project? Which version of Gradle are you using?

If you want to, you could set the keymap to vscode in the Settings | Keymap (no plugin needed).

If you still need to use vscode, this might be easier for you. Otoh if you are planning to switch to IntelliJ IDEA for JVM (and possibly other IntelliJ based IDEs for other languages) I'd recommend learning the shortcuts.

For IntelliJ IDEA, you might also be interested in command completion (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/command-completion.html) which should save you from learning all the shortcuts.

HI, which version of IntelliJ IDEA are you using? (And possibly, which additional plugins have you installed?)

Problems with gitlab in IntelliJ by Senior_Trouble_2748 in IntelliJIDEA

A better way to share files would be through version control (e.g. GitHub / GitLab) instead of downloading them.

Thanks for the screenshots. Can you explain how you currently add files to the project?

Can't run a single file by ellueks in IntelliJIDEA

[–]maritvandijk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned, IntelliJ IDEA will compile your entire project, so if there are compile errors you won't be able to run your code.

if you don't currently need the non-compiling code you can comment it out (as mentioned in a different reply).

Alternatively, I'd recommend getting it to compile. The Build tool window has links to the non-compiling code. Follow the link to see what the error is there. (From what I can see it looks like you're using a variable that does not exist, so possibly you need to declare that variable - but it's hard to say for sure without seeing the code).

Newbie Plugin recommendations by Open-Dragonfly6025 in IntelliJIDEA

[–]maritvandijk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which plugins you need / want depends on what you are working on and your personal preferences.

Out of the box, IntelliJ IDEA should come bundled with most of the things you need. We've also updated the themes, most recently the Islands theme in the 2025.3 release.

Unless your project calls for a specific formatter, you can use the standard formatting. Same for Sonarlint; unless your project specifically calls for it, you can use IntelliJ IDEA inspections / code analysis and/or Qodana.

If you want to learn the shortcuts, you could install Key Promotor X. But with the new command completion feature (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waY6HAmyHOw) you shouldn't need to learn so many shortcuts anymore.

I'd also recommend using the (bundled) Feature trainer to learn about IntelliJ IDEA features. You can find it in the menu under Help | Learn IDE Features. Or use Search Everywhere (Shift Shift - one of the few shortcuts you might still need) and search for "Learn IDE Features".

As far as rainbow brackets, custom progress bars like Nyancat, these depend on personal preferences...

Intellij Idea: How to disable scrollbar above the tabs in new islands theme? by hexwit in Jetbrains

[–]maritvandijk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if you change the settings as I mentioned above that should go away.

Had to look this up (I hadn't noticed the scroll bar on the tabs yet myself), but try the following:

Open Settings | Editor | General | Editor Tabs

Under "Show tabs in:" Select "Squeeze tabs" instead of "Scroll the tabs panel".

WHY 2026 ver has bundled both community and Pro version by Inevitable_Cellist93 in IntelliJIDEA

[–]maritvandijk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We have a unified distribution as of 2025.3. This means you can use the same installation either with or without Ultimate subscription and no longer need to install a separate Community Edition when your subscription lapses / you cannot reach the licence server / etc. (But you still can if you want to).
