IntelliJ IDEA Shortcut Keys – Windows

Common Ctrl shortcuts include file search (Ctrl+F), replace (Ctrl+R), undo/redo (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z), navigation (Ctrl+N, Ctrl+G), code formatting (Ctrl+Alt+L), and version‑control actions (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+T). Alt shortcuts provide quick access to version‑control menus, intention actions (Alt+Enter), and code generation (Alt+Insert). Shift shortcuts handle project‑wide search/replace (Shift+F), refactoring dialogs (Shift+F6), and editor navigation (Shift+Tab, Shift+Esc). Combined Ctrl+Shift shortcuts manage file opening (Ctrl+Shift+N), code case conversion (Ctrl+Shift+U), and bookmark handling (Ctrl+Shift+1‑9). Additional combos like Ctrl+Alt , Ctrl+Shift+Alt , and Alt+Shift cover formatting, optimization, debugging, and task management.

Debugging shortcuts include ⌘F8 (toggle breakpoint) and ⌘F9 (run). The article also lists miscellaneous shortcuts for window management, code folding, and live templates.

By mastering these shortcuts, developers can perform virtually all IDEA functions via the keyboard, significantly speeding up coding, navigation, and project management.
