I'm trying to migrate from Eclipse to IDEA. In Eclipse, when I hit the TAB key while typing in function parameters and in other contextual situations it will forward the cursor to the next place I can type (next parameter, end of the line for semi-colon, etc.). I use it constantly. Is there a way to get similar functionality in IDEA?
If you're a beginner in the field of Java development, your choice should be IntelliJ IDEA – thanks to the various beginner-friendly features it has to offer. However, if you're looking to work on large and complex projects, and have a fair bit of expertise in Java programming, you can opt for Eclipse instead.

To view the keymap configuration, open the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S and select Keymap. IntelliJ IDEA automatically suggests a predefined keymap based on your environment.
This plugin enables you to create and manage named groups of files, or "workspaces", within a project. You can bind a name to a set of one or more files and then open/close that set of files as a group. You can create as many workspaces as you want and arrange them in the Workspaces tool window in any order you like.
There is not direct equivalent to this action. See completion features page for the advanced features.
