I often need to get quickly to the very beginning or very end of a file in the IntelliJ editor. Is there a shortcut key or button that allows me to do this quickly?
I am running on Windows, if that matters.
To navigate backwards, press Ctrl+Alt+Left . To navigate forward, press Ctrl+Alt+Right . To navigate to the last edited location, press Ctrl+Shift+Backspace .
In Eclipse, you press CTRL + SHIFT + O “Organize Imports” to import packages automatically. For IntelliJ IDEA, if you press CTRL + ALT + O “Optimize Imports”, it just removes some unused imports, never imports any package.
Ctrl + H = "Type Hierarchy" view = shows a tree of parent and child classes of this class. Ctrl + Shift + A = "It does a search as you type through all the commands in intellij. Not only that but when you find the command you want it also displays the corresponding shortcut key next to it!"
There are shortcuts for this in IntelliJ IDEA! Simply hit Shift+Enter to start a new line below the current line or Ctrl+Alt+Enter (⌥⌘Enter on Mac) to start a new line above the current line.
Beginning of File: Fn + ⌘ + ←
End of File: Fn + ⌘ + →

specificity. Leaving it here to include MacOS alternative.
On Windows, you can use Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End to go to the beginning and end of a file respectively.
The action is called Move caret to Page Top/Bottom, default shortcuts would depend on the OS/Keymap and can be checked here:
On Windows these are Ctrl+Page Up and Ctrl+Page Down.
