keyboard shortcut to switch between project frames in Intellij IDEA

Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between project frames in开发者_运维问答 intellij?

I have two projects open and the only way I've found to select the non-active project is to drag the top window/frame out of the way and then click on it.

On osx, I use the standard keystroke (both Command+~ or Command+` seem to work) for switching windows within an application.

On windows, I use alt+tab.

Annoyingly, you can use "Cmd + `" to switch through your windows but it doesn't loop back to the first window when you reach the end. You have to use "Shift + Cmd + `" to go in the reverse direction.

for Mac OS X, try:

option + command + [
option + command + ]

If you have multiple projects just switching between them may be too tedious.

In such case it's better to open Window menu using ALT+W and choose project from list.

To make quick search working for project names you need to open Window menu as popup. To do it just assign keyboard shortcut for it:

I chose CTRL+ALT+W as my shortcut to open the following window with project quick search:

for Windows, try:

Crtl + Alt + [
Ctrl + Alt + ]

I've stumbled upon an intellij-native popup for switching projects. To find it and set a key mapping:

1. cmd+shift+a (if macosx; shift+shift might work cross-platform) for the find-command popup menu
2. type/search for the "open project windows" command
3. option+enter (or equiv) to assign a key mapping

This Project Windows popup lets you type to filter and select by project name.

2013 answer for people who want an "up to date" answer:

If you maximize (full screen) all your project windows and keep them grouped together in "mission control" then I find the three finger swipe works really well to move between projects.

1. Go to Intellij Preferences.
2. Under Keymap find Activate Next Window.
3. Right click on it and choose Add Keyboard Shortcut.
4. Press cmd + ` and click OK.
5. Click OK to close Preference window.

Map key to Activate Next Window

Ctrl + Shift + [

Ctrl + Shift + ]

Does it for me. On both Intellij IDEA and PyCharm.

On Windows the following should work:

Ctrl + tab 

There is no such shortcut by default, but it should be possible to implement this feature as a plug-in.

In ubuntu 18.10, you can use the below key combination for toggling betwee two open instances -

alt + `

In ubuntu, switching between multiple windows inside an IntelliJ, use alt + ~

If you're a MacOS user, as well as the Command+` and Command+Shift+` keyboard shortcuts which IntelliJ offers to toggle between IntelliJ windows, the OS-level Control+↓ keyboard shortcut is an excellent way to see and navigate between windows of the current app. The screenshot below shows the view which it offers. If you turn on App Exposé in your Trackpad preferences, you can also get to this view by swiping down with three fingers.

For Mac,

Command + Shift + [ or ]

works in full screen mode.

fast forward to 2022 and you get...

I was struggling with the same issue. This is how I dealt with it.

If you have set up your mac for expose ( by default F10 for application windows), then you could use that keyboard shortcut. This is the quickest way I know and since I usually have around 5 project windows I use this fairly frequently.

On MAC CMD + ` will work.

Ensure that you haven't maximised windows.

Have been searching solution for macOS for long time and found this great plugin finally https://github.com/krasa/FrameSwitcher.

Switching intelliJ windows by searching project name including recent opened ones.

I am just put a new update her for MAC OS on version (20220.1.4) it has new: command + option + stands for the next and command + option + shift + stands for back

I am using Mac Big Sur 11.2.3 plus IntelliJ 2019. to switch among windows, I use the following 3 keys.

⌥ ⌘ `

If you have opened multiple projects and want to switch between them, then you can use:

command `

that is, command and tilde (you can get it just above tab button).

This is for mac os.

I'm working on a Mac OS X. Right click on IntelliJ dock icon shows all your open projects.
