I am a big fan and user of IntelliJ. Besides the tips on features you'll use every day, there are tons of lesser-known features, some of which surprised me positively. In this video, I'm showing 13 helpful IntelliJ features that you likely don't know yet.

    First tip in and it's hippie completion, one that I never, ever put to good enough use. Thanks!

    Wow, that structural search and replace feature looks fantastic! :yougotthis:

    As always great video Sebastian, I've been using Intellij for 8 years now and yet I lean a lot in every one of your videos. I'd advise to also mention the name of the action of these features. this would help others who are not using Windows to search for them when shortcuts are not similar to those in Windows

    Ooh quicklookup section super helpful. I usually just CMD+click. The pop-ups (if I can remember the hotkeys) will be super helpful in terms of keeping to the keyboard. 🙏

    Didn't know about Ctrl+Shift+I to Peek Definition. Thanks!!! :elbowcough:

    hi, Is it possible if you can paste macos Shortcut key ? If so , it is awesome .
  • @ivanocj
    That's nice, most of the IntelliJ videos out there are for Macs. I see you are probably using Linux or Windows. Do you mind sharing the hardware that you are using on the presentation and the IntelliJ version? thanks!
