Quick Code Craft - Compile and Run

Today, we're shifting gears from improving our code navigation skills to something equally crucial: how to compile and run your code without ever touching the mouse.

Now, I’ve noticed a common habit among developers—reaching for the mouse when they’re ready to compile or run their code. While that works, it’s not the fastest approach. By keeping your hands on the keyboard, you can speed up your workflow significantly. 

Notice how related functions have similar key shortcuts? This design makes them easy to remember and use!

That’s all for today. Go ahead and give these shortcuts a try! Until next time, happy coding!

Quick Code Craft - Show Recent Files and Show Recent Location

In the last post, we added two more shortcuts to our code navigation arsenal.

Today, we’re diving into two incredibly useful shortcuts that help us quickly navigate to places we've been recently.


As you can see, by learning one shortcut, you can easily build on your knowledge to learn more. This is one of the reasons why JetBrains IDEs are so developer-friendly!


That's all for today. Give these shortcuts a try, and let me know how it went!

Quick Code Craft - Show Usage

In our last post, we explored how to quickly open any method implementation. Today, we're flipping the script to elevate your code navigation skills with one of my go-to shortcuts: the Show Usage shortcut.

Instead of navigating to see how method is implemented, we now want to go to the places where the method is called from.


This is a perfect example of how shortcuts can be both easy to remember and build upon each other!

That’s all for today. Give these shortcuts a try and see how they streamline your coding workflow.
