IntelliJ IDEA shortcuts for Eclipse users
Switching from Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA was a great decision. Eclipse of course gets things done, but not as fast, not as flawless, not as intelligent as IntelliJ.
And yet, the switching process took me some time. Especially learning new shortcuts was a little bit irritating. Performing basic tasks took me minutes, because I had to look up the correct shortcut each time. It’s possible to use an Eclipse shortcut mapping, but since I wasn’t going to switch back, I’ve decided to learn the default mapping. JetBrains offers a nice overview (PDF) containing most important shortcuts. In order to find the correct row faster, I have added another column with Eclipse shortcuts.
So let’s say I want to see a class outline. I know it’s Ctrl + O in Eclipse. Now I just have to look for this shortcut in the first column to find the IntelliJ equivalent. For a shortcut junkie like me this is a lot faster than reading the action descriptions. I hope this helps other software developers, too.
Let me know if any shortcut mapping is wrong or missing.
