Equivalent of ido-mode in Intellij Idea


As an Emacs user, I've recently switched to using IntelliJ Idea for Java development. One thing I love about Emacs is ido-mode, where you can type C-x b and get a list of buffers to switch between. Does anyone know if this or a similar feature is available in IntelliJ? I'm using the Emacs keyset in IntelliJ and I'm aware of C-x p/n to switch between files, but I'd like to be able to just type the first few letters of the file I'm looking for, and have that file open for editing.


Solution

  • Not sure what the default keymapping is, but you can configure them (Preferences -> Keymap) - sounds like you're looking for "Go To -> File". There's also "Recent Files" which I find very useful.
