Thanks, your contents has been very valuble for gettong me started with vim motions. Idea vim is a much lower barrier to entry than going stright to nvim when i have been using pycharm for so long.

Thanks a lot for these tips, some I didn't even realize I needed them.

[@davidfranck1133]

Thanks for the video ! I'm using a lot ctr+shift+a (find actions) when I don't remember a shorcut.

[@krastavichki]

CTRL+SHIFT+F8 for listing all breakpoints and then with the keyboard you can do multi-select and remove in bulk.

[@Graxusimus]

You can also use the vim command 'gd' to go to the definition of a function/variable/... and vice versa!

[@Birdzhan]

thank you so much

[@bifty9]

Nice. What shortcut you have for the context menu?

[@SebastianDaschnerIT]

Which context menu exactly? I do use the 'context menu' key on my keyboard if you mean that

[@josemanueldopereiro5957]

There is one really cool, that I use all the time, to open a project you can CTRL twice, then type open and the name of your project

[@SebastianDaschnerIT]

Cool, TIL!

[@Kubkochan]

configuring issue tracker in tools and context ftw with issue linking in commits

[@ja-rek8846]

WOW

[@ChrisSturtevantplus]

How did you enable IDEAVim navigation in the project view?

[@SebastianDaschnerIT]

Good point, I should have added that: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-1042#focus=Comments-27-4651720.0-0

Can you say what is the problem with my IntelliJ IDEA. It takes too long to start even though I have a i5 10th Gen, 8GB RAM Laptop. But on my friends laptop (which is i3 8th Gen, 4GB RAM) it starts very fast than mine. I'm very much frustrated with this problem.

[@SebastianDaschnerIT]

Maybe you can try out different projects in case some project-specific stuff needs to be parsed. Otherwise, I'd look for some additional plugins that you've added. From my experience, support for Scala, Groovy, etc. might take a while... Other than that, not sure. If that doesn't help, I'd try to wipe and freshly reinstall everything

[@monodwipdas3290]

@@SebastianDaschnerIT I found out the problem. Yesterday I deactivated Windows Defender for Intellij IDEA, and it is now starting fast. Thank You for your reply.

[@wewe-fx6un]

It works slow on i7 10th gen, 16gb ram, 1tb ssd

You're not really using relative line navigation yourself in this tutorial though
