Find usages of primary constructor of a Kotlin class

Question

Imagine you have a super important and widely-used class in your Kotlin-based project. It has the only constructor which is defined like that:

class MyAwesomeManager(argOne: String, argTwo: String)

For some reason, you need to quickly find all uses of its constructor. You're using Android Studio (or Intellj IDEA).

But... pressing Ctrl + LMB on its name gives a ton of rubbish results - uses in imports, companion object's fields calls etc. All the uses of a class, but not the constructor. The same for putting a cursor on its name and hitting Alt + F7.

So, how do I find all and only the usages of this primary constructor?

Answer 1

You should put the caret next to the opening parenthesis of the primary constructor but not right before the first parameter. Possibly add a space or line break:

class MyAwesomeManager<caret>(argOne: String, argTwo: String)
//also works
class MyAwesomeManager(<caret> argOne: String, argTwo: String)

then invoke Find Usages. This should give you only the usages of the constructor invocation.

If there are no parentheses because the class has a default zero-argument constructor, you can temporarily add () after the class name, then proceed as above.
