Important IntelliJ Idea Shortcuts I use in my day-to-day coding

IntelliJ Idea IDE is the most popular IDE among Java Developers now-a-days. I use it for my day-to-day coding assignments. I use the following shortcuts quite heavily to improve my productivity while using IntelliJ Idea.

  • Alt + 1 - Show/Hide Project Explorer
  • Double Shift - Search Anything in IntelliJ Idea
  • Increase Fonts - Double Shift and Search 'Increase Fonts'
  • Decrease Fonts - Double Shift and Search 'Decrease Fonts'
  • Ctrl + E - Navigate between files opened in Explorer
  • Ctrl + Shift + E - Shows the last changed files
  • Ctrl + Shift + N - Search all files
  • Ctrl + N - Search only class files
  • Ctrl + Alt + L - Reformat Code
  • Ctrl + B - Open Declaration

I hope these shortcuts will also help you to improve your productivity. For complete list of shortcuts, please refer to the Jetbrains official website -
