How to go to next/previous occurrence in current editor tab?

In eclipse, you can go to the previous/next occurrence of the selected word by pressing ctrl+, / ctrl+..

What is the equivalent in IntelliJ IDEA?

Solution

  • The functions for this are called Go to {next,previous} highlighted element usage and are available by default only via the menu Edit→Find. No key press is associated to this function by default. (IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3 (Community Edition))

    You can set them to a specific key press in the keymap: File→Settings→Keymap→Main menu→Edit→Find and double click on the function you want to set.

    EDIT: IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3 (Community Edition): via main menu Edit→Find Usage→Next(Previous) Highlighted Usage
