What is Eclipse's Ctrl+O (Show Outline) shortcut equivalent in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

I like to use Eclipse's shortcut Ctrl + O which outlines the current source. Is there an equivalent shortcut in IntelliJ IDEA?

It opens a dialog which allows for quick search of methods and fields in a class.

Solution 1

I haven't used Eclipse for years, so I'm not that familiar with the behaviour you're after - but I believe Ctrl + F12 may do what you want: it is the shortcut for the File structure Popup in the default mapping.

For macOS fn + cmd + F12

Solution 2

Shortcuts:

• Mac: ⌘+F12
• Windows: Ctrl+F12
• Ubuntu/CentOS: Ctrl+F12

Above works on IntelliJ versions 14 to 2020.

Solution 3

Windows : ctrl + F12

MacOS : cmd + F12

Above commands will show the functions/methods in the current class.

Press SHIFT TWO times if you want to search both class and method in the whole project.

Solution 4

On MacOSX 10.8.5, CmdF12 did not work for me. I had to use FnCmdF12

Solution 5

For Intellij 13 on ubuntu the shortcut for the Structure window is Alt+7 (Cmd+7 on Mac). You can make the window floating to simulate the Eclipse behavior using the top-right setting icon, also unselect the pinned mode option for Esc to work.

It would aid web searchers a lot if you included a description of the functionality you're after in this question's title. Eclipse's keyboard shortcuts are platform- and setup-dependent.

See for more shortcuts. At StackOverflow : What are the most useful Intellij IDEA keyboard shortcuts? AT stackoverflow.com/questions/294167/…

That brings up a "Reformat Code" dialog for me, using what I believe are default keyboard bindings.

Ctrl-F3 is correct IF you're using the Eclipse keymap in IntelliJ IDEA. If you're using the default IntelliJ keymap, it's Ctrl-F12. At least in IDEA 10.

[subrat71]

For the record, Ctrl-F12 is bound to the File Structure command, available in the top-level Navigate menu.

[Andrzej Doyle]

In what I believe is a default keymap, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F3</kbd> is "Find word at caret".

@LuigiR.Viggiano Doesn't ⌘+F12 is overridden by the System's Volume UP command? Or do you know a way avoid it?

[Luigi R. Viggiano]

Yes, you can change OS X shortcuts, I think in keyboard settings, but don't remember now.

[hnilsen]

@DenisWeerasiri You need to hold the Fn-button to hit the F-buttons on a Mac. So ⌘+F12 is the same as ⌘+Fn+VolumeUp

[nikoo28]

depends upon the preferences you have set for your mac machine

[Admin]

This wont work as sometimes you want to search in small sample space.

[Ejaz Ahmed]

It is not the answer to the posted question. CTRL+O in eclipse searches in current class/file. CTRL+F12 is the correct equivalent.

[Willie Z]

cmd + fn + F12 for OS X

[Lucian]

@loeschg what if cmd + f12 is overridden by the system's volume up?

[loeschg]

@LucianNut then you'll probably want cmd + fn + F12 like willy_z suggested.

Link only answers are not useful as they don't guarantee a future user can find the answer. Please include a summary of the information in your answer.

You are right, I didn't think about that... just include some info.

[davidfrancis]

Is the Fn necesssary to reveal the F1-12 keys on your macbook pro with touchbar? You can configured that in the Keyboard System Preferences i.e. always show F keys on the touchbar when in Intellij

The other solutions (Ctrl/Cmd-O) show methods but cannot show fields.

[Anupam Jain]

The scope is too wide for double shift based search in IntelliJ

[Jorge Tovar]

CMD + 7 on Mac will show the structure (functions) pane. The same command will toggle it off.
