IntelliJ shortcut to show a popup of methods in a class that can be searched

Question

I'm switching over from Eclipse to IntelliJ. In Eclipse, if you do Ctrl+O in the editor, it will show a hover popup that allows you to search for a method in the class you're editing.

What is the equivalent shortcut for that in IntelliJ?

You can also have the exact same keymap with Eclipce in IntelliJ. — Koray Tugay, Sep 09 '13 at 16:45
If you are used to Eclipse, you can directly use the eclipse shortcuts : press Ctrl + Shift + A , Search Keymap and select Eclipse. All IntelliJ shortcuts will be transformed to Eclipse shortcuts. Now do a Ctrl + O :) — Abhishek Bedi, Dec 21 '15 at 05:09

Use Navigate (View in older versions) | File Structure Popup (Ctrl+F12 on Windows,
⌘+F12 on OS X). Start typing method/symbol name to either narrow down the list or highlight the desired element. Press Enter to navigate to the selected element.

Very nice, I'm looking for a pop-up that searches throughout the whole project (like Ctrl+Alt+M in Eclipse) and not just current file (like Ctrl+O in Eclipse), any ideas ? – Ashkan Kh. Nazary Aug 03 '11 at 08:01

`Go To` | `Symbol...` is most likely what you are looking for. – CrazyCoder Aug 03 '11 at 09:10

Cmd + 7 on Mac will also show methods pane permanently. Cmd + 7 again will toggle it off. – Gurpreet Oct 02 '13 at 07:04
@CrazyCoder I would like to change the keyboard shortcut for this feature. What should I search in the keymap settings? tried 'method', but can find a listing that shows this keyboard-shortcut . – mtk Aug 07 '17 at 14:43

This action has been moved to **Navigate | File Structure**. – Corentin May 23 '18 at 12:30

I prefer to use the Structure view. To open it, use the menu: View/Tools Window/Structure.
The hotkey on Windows is Alt+7, ⌘+7 on OS X

If you are running on Linux (I tested in Ubuntu 10.04), the shortcut is Ctrl + F12 (same of Windows)

command+fn+F12 is correct. Lacking of button fn the F12 is used adjust the volume.

By default, most of distribution uses Ctrl+F12.

Some OS distribution (in my case Xubuntu) which uses Xcfe, overrides Ctrl+F12 to "Workspace 12" switch.

You can type "this." and wait a second, a popup with methods and properties will display.

Not a shortcut, but it works for me.

PS: if you are in a static method, type the class name.

I really don't understand the negatives. My method is the only one who works on every IntelliJ version, computer or customization. Think about that – Telcontar May 26 '16 at 10:58

@Telcontar: I guess that people gave you the downvotes because the original question was "What is the equivalent shortcut for **that** in IntelliJ" where **that** was described quite precisely :) Your "answer" is rather a comment. – Honza Zidek Feb 15 '17 at 12:16

I don't understand why there are so many down votes. "this." is a good alternative. I do that often. I was also an Eclipse user before moving to intellij and I did the same on Eclipse too. – Harish Mar 25 '19 at 18:35

For Mac Users if command + fn + f12 or command + f12 is not working, then your key map is not selected as "Mac Os X". To select key map follow the below steps.

Android Studio -> Preferences -> Keymap -> From the drop down Select "Mac OS X" -> Click Apply -> OK.
