IntelliJ Keyboard Shortcuts

IntelliJ is a very fast editor from jetbrains and does remote debugging more than twice as fast as Eclipse. Searching is also slicker than Eclipse. Here are some handy shortcuts for jet-setting across your source code.

Cntrl-N Jump to class
Cntrl-E Scroll through open files
Cntrl-F and F3 Search and repeat last search
Cntrl-F12 Jump through class (fields and methods)

Alt-F7 Find usages (also click "Open in new tab" to get tabbed search)
Alt-left, Alt-right Scroll through panes (Cntrl-E if you want to jump >1 step at a time)
Cntrl-B Jump to DECLARATION
Cntrl-Alt-B Jump to IMPLEMENTATION

Alt-3 go to Find screen

The Cntrl-MouseUp/MouseDown combination can be used to dynamically zoom in/out of the current pane. This is the same key combination in Internet Explorer for the same operation.

The founder of JetBrains is Sergey Dmitriev whose hobbies include pure mathematics, including functional analysis. here's an interview with him. Official bio is here.
