Intellij is my favorite IDE. It’s powerful, easy to use and has a lot of features. In this post I will list the main things any new Intellij user should learn first.
How to debug
It seems pretty easy, but Intellij offers a lot of features like condition breakpoints and Stream breakpoints.
Shortcuts
There are plenty of shortcuts. But every new Intellij user should learn almost those one:
- Search for a class
- Go to line
- Rename a variable/method/class
- Inline a variable
- Extract a method/variable
- Create a Constructor/Getter/Setter
- Git annotate
- Go to the Unit tests

Find and Replace is an action I do every day. I must know how to build correct Regexes to find and replace any text.
