IntelliJ IDEA Tips and Tricks

" summary

Walks through concrete IntelliJ features with live demos: the Learn IntelliJ IDEA interactive welcome tour, Search Everywhere doing math, git commit search and camelCase lookups, and Run Anything (double-Ctrl) running Gradle/Maven tasks and past runs. Shows key productivity bits — Shift‑Cmd‑A for actions, Quick Lists, structural search-and-replace (now available for Kotlin), rename that toggles comments/strings, data‑flow analysis that reports concrete values, and inline watches plus the Services view. Claims shared indexes drastically cut indexing time and the Packages plugin auto-adds/updates dependencies; demos show these working.
