Question

What is the shortcut in IntelliJ IDEA to move across or select individual words of a camelized word? Lets say I have aLongMultiWordVariableName, I want to be able to move the cursor to each word for editing or select parts of the variable.

Eclipse has a shortcut to do this Ctrl+←/→ for move and Ctrl+Shift+←/→ for selection.

Was it helpful?

Solution

IDEA has the same keystrokes as Eclipse for camel-case words, but you have to have the CamelHumps option turned on (it's in Settings -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys -> Use "CamelHumps" words )

OTHER TIPS

Yes, the answer of yalestar is correct. Settings > Editor > Smart keys > Use "CamelHumps" words

However, here is something that can be usefull to know: If you want to be able to select the whole word by double-click on it, unselect the "Honor 'CamelHumps' words settings when selecting on double click" in Settings > Editor.
