Through Maven, I have the source code and JavaDoc both downloaded for libraries used by my code.
I want to select a class name called in my code in the IntelliJ code editor, and then ask IntelliJ to show me the source code for that particular class.
Bonus: Show the JavaDoc for that class.
I thought F1
key would do this, but no so.
If a keyboard shortcut is required, please indicate the macOS version as well as the PC version if known.
Command
key, hover mouse, and clickOn a Mac, hold down the Command
key. Notice as you move the mouse pointer, the class names change to blue underscored text like an old-school web page link. Click that retro-link while holding down Command.
I am guessing, per comment by Justice, that on a PC you would hold down Control
key while hovering/clicking.
No need to select the class name.
Command
while hovering mouse pointerClick the apparent link to open the local copy of class source code.
This approach worked on IntelliJ 2018.1 on macOS Sierra.
