Summary

This was a long chapter. After all, the editor is the main functionality of the IDE. You learned how to quickly navigate across many files in a project and within a single file as well. You are now able to use and define live templates, compare files and folders, and look for the documentation. In the next chapter, we will focus on refactoring—a powerful technique to improve the source code and see how IntelliJ IDEA supports this feature.
