IntelliJ IDEA Shortcut Guide for Windows and macOS

The guide compiles an extensive list of IntelliJ IDEA shortcuts, covering Windows and macOS versions, and is intended to help developers work faster by printing the shortcuts and referring to them at the workstation.

It is organized into sections: a table of contents, Windows shortcuts grouped by Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Ctrl+Alt, Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt+Shift, and other keys; and a parallel set of macOS shortcuts with symbols and modifier keys, covering editing, search/replace, usage search, compile/run, debugging, navigation, refactoring, VCS, live templates, general actions, and undocumented shortcuts.

Each shortcut entry includes the key combination, a brief description of its function, and an indication of whether it is commonly used.

At the end of the article, a QR code is provided for obtaining a high‑resolution PDF version of the shortcut list, which can be printed and displayed for quick reference.
