IntelliJ_NVDA_Addon

Addon for NVDA that adds support for using IntelliJ. Current features are:

  • when caret moves to different line, the line at the new position is read out
  • when selection changes it is read out
  • when the status bar text has changed, NVDA beeps and speaks it
    • this includes reading the error description if the caret landed on one
    • configurable in settings
  • command to read status bar (NVDA + I)

How to install

  1. Download latest release or build by running scons
  2. install like a normal addon by opening the generated addon file with NVDA (should open with NVDA by default)

Tips for using IntelliJ

Checking errors/warnings

When focused inside a file editor:

  • F2/ shift + F2 : go to next/previous error or warning

When editor cursor is on error/warning:

  • NVDA + I: Quickly read error description displayed in status bar
  • ctrl + F1: open message box with more detailed error description
  • alt + enter: open list of quick actions

Navigating

  • ctrl + tab/ ctrl + shift + tab: switch between editors and views
  • alt + number: move to coresponding numbered view
  • F12: go to last non-editor view inside editor:
  • alt + up arrow/ alt + down arrow: jump to previous/next class, field, or method declaration
  • ctrl + {/ ctrl + }: GO TO PREVIOUS/NEXT MATCHING BRACE
  • ctrl + B: go to declaration
  • ctrl + shift + B: go to type declaration
  • ctrl + G: go to line
  • ctrl + N: go to class
  • shift, shift: "finad anything" dialogue

VCS

  • ctrl + K: make commit
  • ctrl + shift + K: push
  • ctrl + alt + Z: revert

Misc.

  • ctrl + shift + A: search for action
  • ctrl + alt + L: format code
  • alt + F7: find usages
  • alt + shift + F9: open run dialogue (note: if editor caret is on unit test, this will also autogenerate a run configuration for running that specific test case)
