When evaluating a replacement for an existing tool, one of the things to concern is loosing productivity. When switching from Eclipse to IntelliJ you’ll miss those embosomed shortcuts. Here is a summarization of shortcuts (with their equivalent in IntelliJ) I use many times a day in Eclipse.
| Description | Eclipse | IntelliJ IDEA |
|---|---|---|
| Open Class | Ctrl+Shift+T |
Ctrl+N |
| Open Resource | Ctrl+Shift+R |
Ctrl+Shift+N |
| Navigate Backward/Forward | Alt+Left/Right |
Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right |
| Previous/Next Tab | Ctrl+Pg-Up/Pg-Down |
Alt+Left/Right |
| Rename | Alt+Shift+R |
Shift+F6 |
| Quick-Fix | Ctrl+1 |
Alt+Enter |
| Optimize Imports | Ctrl+Shift+O |
Ctrl+Alt+O ** |
| Find Usage | Ctrl+Shift+G |
Alt+F7 |
| Open Call Hierarchy | Ctrl+Alt+H |
Ctrl+Alt+H |

Ctrl+B |
| Show Type Hierarchy | Ctrl+T |

** By default only removing unused imports, can be improved:
File ~ Settings ~ Editor ~ General ~ Auto Import ~ Check all boxes
I hope it helps you to quickly find the most common shortcuts of Eclipse in IntelliJ.
