IDEA Tips and Tricks
summary
Live demo shows exact shortcuts and plugins that change day-to-day work: use JetBrains Toolbox to install multiple IDE versions and tweak JVM memory, enable the Presentation Assistant plugin to display shortcuts, and open the interactive Productivity Guide to see which features are never used. Navigation relies on double Shift, Shift‑Cmd‑A, recent files (Cmd+E) and namespace filtering instead of tabs. Editing tips include semantic selection (Option+Up / Ctrl+W), clipboard history (Shift‑Cmd‑V), postfix completion, language injection for JSON/regex, and an experimental code folding plugin on GitHub that visually transforms Java into a denser view.
