IntelliJ IDEA Tips and Tricks 2021. By Hadi Hariri

In what could only be better described as part three of IntelliJ IDEA Tips and Tricks, in this talk Hadi Hariri will show you some new (and some not so new) tips and tricks for using IntelliJ IDEA but with a twist. Yes, in this edition, he'll be doing it from the comfort of his own home. And if that isn't an exciting enough abstract, then wait for the session. While you may not learn many things, some jokes may be new.

Speaker: Hadi Hariri

Developer and creator of many things OSS, he has been programming in one way, shape, or form since the age of 12. Author of various publications and courses, Hadi has been speaking at industry events for nearly two decades. The host of Talking Kotlin, he leads the Developer Advocacy team at JetBrains and spends as much time as he can writing code.

Hadi, I've watched every, everything you've ever posted and I haven't learned so much new outside the things you want to do and the documentation that comes along with every release. So very much repetion for me as a Pro Pro Pro user ;) humblue is not my strong suite rearding Intellij. BUT today I've actually learned and started using them. 1) remove tabs - briliant - why have I every displayed them? I don't click on them. 2) Line numbers - are you for real - how good was that when you removed them. Go to line is enough! Wow - you don't know how much faster and cleaner my Idea usages has been today!

You are by far the best instructor for advance and beginner user of idea - you hands on the best! I will never miss a talk with you! Thank you for making me so awesome at my job with idea :)

Pro tip: and this comes almost everything that you've showed: you say many times "throw away the mouse" and I love that!!! Sometimes though you need that thing, and therefore I've mapped every useful refactoring and navigation shortcut to be used the the left hand while you still keep the hand on the mouse and can select stuff right after the one-hand-refactoing. Please can't your next talk be about left hand shortcuts?

IDE features trainer is cool, but Hadi is the GOD IDE trainer :D

One of these days I will add "Hadi's sarcasm stauncher" to my CV.

[Fachher]

One feature I really miss in Intellij.

If a json string has a comment on it like //language=JSON
It should show the string beautified and without escape sequence without entering edit json fragment.
Maybe as you do it while debugging code and you are showing the value of a variable.

31:55 keep on pressing cmd+j and you'll have a 300 character line. Notepad++ does it splitting on the editor limit (or screen, I don't remember)

[sureshkrjsl]

Add a feature for Timezone and Epoch conversions in Intellij?

[nashs]

I love jet brains products especially ideaU. But sad part is my org doesn’t allow due to licensing issue. How do I convince them to use it🧐

[sureshkrjsl]

Once you press double shift for Seach Anywhere action, allow switching tabs using ALT+Key? Like switch to Symbols tab by pressing Alt+S

[pguti]

14:55 explain the difference between alt-shift-f and F3. . In addition, on F3 and press F2 you can rename that favorite. Undocumented.

[alirezadamenaki]

Does any body know the exact video about debugging in Intellij mentioned by Hadi in the talk?

[napalm]

I'd like to see recent files default to recently editef by default (or an option to set it that way!)

[bhaveshsalunke]

If Hadi is going to make such jokes then for the IntelliJ IDEA Tips and Tricks 2025 we can expect him to be in all gray hair.

[raidoung]

Hadi speaks like Tech Lead, meaning PAtrick Shuu xD

Hi I'm new to intellij IDE, I downloaded but it's always going to Quick start. There I can't open project. How can I get rid of this quick start screen. Please help me

These great people are the custodians of developer productivity everywhere. Indexing these you tube videos and adding them to search-everywhere is the next obvious addition to suggest to your UX team. CTRL+SHIFT+U, then | (pipe character). Yes, ‘You-Pipe’. Because YouTube is almost certainly a trademark infringement.

How to open multiple projects in single window

[adambickford]

Pro Top: Don't waste your time or money trying to remote development on wsl. It will eat 10G+ and demand more on the linux side alone. Budget another 2-3 gigs for the windows side. And it will get constant disconnects and crashes.

Intellij is beyond useless, literally wasted hours and hours on this crap. Tried vs code and... it just works.
