IntelliJ IDEA 2017 Features and Shortcuts - Mac and Windows #1 | Tech Primers

welcome to tech primers in this video we are going to see the feature and the shortcuts of IntelliJ IDEA so IntelliJ IDEA is the software developed by Jade ring and it is open source for even you can contribute to it so this is the IDE because replacement for eclipse so I had been using IntelliJ for the past four hundred to five years it's extremely good and I think that it's great for increasing the productivity so let's go through some of the features inside the latest version of the IntelliJ IDEA along with the shortcuts so as of now I install the latest version today so if you see here the version which I am using is 2017 but one which IntelliJ of the JetBrains released today so I just installed that and also some of the viewers that requested me to add some shortcuts related to IntelliJ IDEA so that is why I had decided to create this video so I will show you the different so if you are not aware about IntelliJ IDEA so this is how it looks so this is nothing but a window so in Eclipse you would have seen the workspace right so in IntelliJ it is called the window unfortunately you can have only one project in a window but you can even import them in D you can even import the other projects inside so if you see here this is how the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA looks so if you see this is all the project structure looks like so the folders they have changed the folders you can see my previous video default or what I was shown in a different color but right now it is showing in a different color because it's the latest version of intelligent which has changed it so let's go through the shortcuts which are available right now I will go through a few of them I'll cover for Windows as well as for Macs so right now I have a MacBook Pro so I'm using the Mac shortcut but I parently tell what is the shortcut for the windows so let's say if you want to search the class file so you will have to use ctrl M in Windows the same for Mac would be control Oh so let's say I want to search a particular class name consoling boot so I will have to type ctrl o in MacBook and ctrl n in Windows so in my pocket is commando basically so in Windows it would be ctrl n okay let's say if you want to if you--if you know that okay the file name is starting with s and then your camel case would be a boot so you can say s be so intelligent america identifies which is your relevant clan so for example let's say and searching users and then i decide that okay i want to go to users repository i type r as caps it automatically pops up that particular class because i have caps so it is a camel case sensitive as it so it can easily identify your your clan okay and then you can navigate to it so let's say you want to navigate to a particular line okay so you know that okay you are going to that particular class okay you know that okay you have to go to line number four so you can do a column for so if you do a colon 4 it will directly for the line number forty fifty here that's directly accountable line number four so i will show you once again so i just say a class name and then i say i want to go to let's say i want to go to line number fourteen i just type that it will go directly to realign number fourteen okay so that is one of the shortcut from the same control and option okay if you want to search this controllin or the commando option searches only the class file however if you want to search all the files in the current project you can use command shift onion in windows okay and then way it would be command shift and o so in windows it will be control shift onion and in mac with beauty it would be command shift and oh so if you see here I search for app it is now showing me the application Yama so it also says that okay you can include non project files to it which I enable the check box it's going to search the files across the library for the jar basically so it can even search across the Jasmine you can even now we get to be classified also intelligent has the ability to decode the class file so you can even decompile this particular class file so IntelliJ provides that feature also out of the box okay so the next shortcut would be let's say you want to navigate to these windows right here so as you see here the these windows here right here are having some numbers with an underlined one writer you can use command one okay for example I'm doing a command one right now so it opened my project if I do come on to it will open the favorites if I do command nine is going to open my version control so same way in Windows it is by equal in command would be control one control two same way till the number which is displayed here okay so also in college it provides the terminal if you see here if you want to go and do something in the command prompt you can even open the terminal directly do something here so for example when I do development at office Lee I just build the project and if I want to push the application to the cloud foundry so I just say CF push here so I don't even have to navigate outside the IntelliJ instead I can do it from the terminal itself that is one of the key feature so let's go through the next shortcut so let's say I have a clot okay I want to navigate through the class so in this particular variable I want to go inside this particular class right so what you can do is you can do a control B so control B will directly take you inside the clip in the Mac it would be command B okay so if you do that command B and control B it will directly take to the clock okay so now I'm inside the class now I want to go back so how will I go back so in Windows it will be Control Alt + left arrow okay in Mac and agree it would be command and open grade okay if you do that it will shift your focus from the other class to the back to the class from where you are generated from okay that is that is one more shortcut so let us say let's start typing something right so let's say your you have a for example attend removing this particular report okay IntelliJ is going to give you some suggestions you are automatically so if you see here it's popping up some position so you can do alt enter if you do alt enter it will automatically show you what are all the different options IntelliJ is going to give you so you can decide whether you want to create a new class you want to create a new enum you inner class interface whatever it is or make private whatever you want to do or you can do import if you will just click on the import it is going to automatically to the input okay so the shortcut for that is odd enter in match it would be option and enter so option or the alt button and then press the Enter so then it will automatically two-way import order to show up what it needs to do okay so same way for example let's say I have a method here I know that this particular method is going to return me some data okay I want to create a variable name so you can use the same shortcut alt enter an intelligent will pop up an option say introduce local variable we just press Enter it automatically gives you the option to name variable that's why okay so that is one more shortcut so now that I have never gated two different classes I want to open the recent recently opened class so in that case we can use controlling in Windows and command e in Mac so you can see the reason files on you can directly navigate to the file pin so you I just say ctrl e and then so when you do lots of coding you want to switch between files it it is easier to use this particular cut cut command D or ctrl e so that will show you the reason Python you can just clip it so you don't even have to use your mouse to now we get through the classified okay so that is one more shortcut so the next one would be a very useful shortcut which I felt that it is great I didn't see that in any other ID so which is the base history so let's say I'm copying some pipe so I alerted I copied name I copied ID but I want to pay his name somewhere I decide I lost that so how will I do that so you can use ctrl shift and B so in that case intelligent will show you what are those the list of history which you copied so it is basically store B it will basically store the clipboard in its history so it's basically a page history so if you see here these are different things which I copied okay so you can decide and paste whatever you want okay that is P shortcut so ctrl alt ctrl shift V in Windows and command shift V in D Mac okay so next one would be for extracting some methods so for example here I have I have written lots of lines so let's say lots of lines here right I want to extract these two lines into a method so what I can do is I can take control alt em in Windows so that this will be extracted into a method in the Mac it will be command option M so then you can name it method so you can go say some method name it automatically extract those lines into a separate method so the shortcut would be ctrl alt and M in Windows command option and M in Mac okay so same way let's say I want to extract a variable so for example here I have a string here I want to extract this into a variable okay so let's do that right so here it would be contra control alt + V same way in in Mac it will be command optional B if I do that intelligible automatically stop me and say what is the variable name you want to have so I said great in here okay so that is one more shortcut so let me show you another shortcut so you want to copy this particular line again right so for example you have a you have a line you want to copy this and then you want to change something inside alone so what you can do is you can do a control D in Windows or you can do a command D so if I do command D it automatically copies the line and then paste again so you don't have to say control C control V you just take on control D okay it'll automatically paste using line again Indian X let's say maybe if you want to copy group of line you can select those groups and then say command D or the control D it will automatically paste those legs so now we say if you see I have a repeated strings here I want to extract this into a variable so until you see is so intelligent that okay you just do ctrl alt and B it will automatically ask you whether you want to replace that particular instance or all these servers can you just say all the instances it is automatically going to convert them into the variable so this is one more shot back okay if you're writing some getter methods all you are trying to do something again and again and you want to extract that up this would be you can easily do worry place on okay so that is one more shortcut so let's go through the code completion so let's say I have a model here right I have three different variables I want to create the generate a greater than the setter so you can use the ctrl e or the command e to do recent file same way you can use all the insert ok or command n so if I did if I do command then it will automatically show me what I need to create either a constructor or a getter or a setter or a equal to hash code if I do equals RS code I can even decide what type of equals or hash code builder any team either there IntelliJ IDEA default or we hash code builder or the equals builders from the Apache okay so the shortcut is command and in Mac and it is alt insert inside windows so you can even I can just say even then generate okay similar you can even override my cat Sophie see here you can even override methods or implement methods using that you can do to sing override so anything you can do so you can generate code out of the box using this shorter okay so I think that's it I will not go through inter internally on the every shortcut but there is an important feature available in the help Kozik productivity guide so if you go to the productivity guide it will show you the different shortcuts are available out there and how many times your user use that shortcut and when did you use lot so for example I can start by used so you can see here the basic completion I have used at 887 times variable name completion I've used 725 times syntax over selection I'm used 622 times so if you see here it also shows when did I use it last so if you don't know any shortcut and if you want to see or check any shortcut which you can come to this productivity guide anytime and then it will show you the shortcuts and you can even see how to what is the command and what is over the command for the the keyboard keyboard shortcut for that particular command as well okay so that's it for this particular video meet you again in the next video thank you
