Please see MacOS Keyboard Configuration for IntelliJ for details. Unfortunately, you need to do a little customization on a Mac to get all of the keyboard shortcuts working as advertised. If, after following the above instructions, IntelliJ loads too slowly, you can consult IntelliJ diagnose startup delays for ideas on how to proceed. It is very important to make sure that your IDE loads in less than 10 seconds, otherwise you will be tempted to use a different editor for “simple” tasks. It should take less than 10 seconds (on my Mac, it takes 5 seconds). Verify startup time < 10 secondsĪfter configuration, quit IDEA, then time how long it takes for it to start up on your platform. Now all of your projects will be configured to use ECMAScript 6 by default. You should see the following:Ĭlick OK to save this change. Then change the pull-down menu to display “ECMAScript 6”. Go to File / Other settings / Default Settings, and in the resulting dialog box, open up Languages and Frameworks and select Javascript. Make Ecmacript 6 the default version of Javascript I do not select “Show all soft wraps”, but that is a personal preference.Ĭlick OK to save your changes. Use soft wraps in console (under Console subarea).To enable this, under Preferences > Editor > General, select: “Soft wrap” allows you to resize your screen and still see all text, and eliminates the need for horizontal scrolling. You will now have a new code style called ics-se-code-style that conforms to our class code style conventions. Under Preferences > Editor > Code Style, click the “Manage” button, then “Import”, then select IntelliJ IDEA code style XML, then select the ics-se-code-style.xml file from your local file space and import it.

Load the ICS SE Code Style preferencesĭownload the class code style preferences file from ics-se-code-style.xml. If you have additional plugins enabled, that isn’t necessarily bad, but it does mean your startup time will be slowed down.
