Ctrl+Shift+F8

is using for removing all breakpoints.
Select upper breakpoint -> Ctrl+Shift+End -> Remove

On Mac Os use this:

Cmd + Shift + (Fn) + F8 on Mac OS

There you need to go through tabs to remove all of them. – Eugene Sep 05 '12 at 10:12
Yes, for each type of breakpoints. In NetBeans you can remove all breakpoints in one click, but not in IDEA – Ilya Sep 05 '12 at 10:24
I'm a little late to the party (and possibly incorrect, hence the comment vs an answer), but I think the keyboard shortcut is now Alt+F9. Ctrl+Shift+F8 doesn't do anything for me. – Brandon Jan 02 '17 at 18:34

Note it's `Cmd + Shift + (Fn) + F8` on Mac OS. – Micer Jun 12 '17 at 09:30
A little late to the party again, but it changed again. Now `ctrl + shift + F8` allows to remove all of them – frollo Sep 05 '17 at 13:54

I am an ubuntu user and ctrl+shift+F8 is not doing anything for me – B.shruti Jan 07 '19 at 11:27
`Remove` can be replaced with the `Alt` + `Delete` keyboard shortcut – Snailedlt Jan 11 '23 at 11:55

To remove all breakpoints in IntelliJ Idea press following sequence of shortcuts:

Ctrl+Shift+F8 (open Breakpoints dialog)
Ctrl+A (select all breakpoint)
Alt+Delete (remove selected breakpoints)
Enter (confirm)

If you press Ctrl+Shift+F8 and your cursor is at code line with breakpoint, instead of Breakpoint dialog you get bubble with properties of a single breakpoint.

To get the Breakpoints dialog press Ctrl+Shift+F8 again.

Tested in IntelliJ Idea 14 Community Edition.

In case of Mac, follow below steps:

cmd+Shift+F8 (open Breakpoints dialog)
cmd+A (select all breakpoint)
cmd+Delete (remove selected breakpoints)
Enter (confirm)

Unlike Alt+Delete in windows, It's cmd+Delete in Mac

Pressing 'Delete' alone removes the breakpoints you've selected. No need to press 'command' along with it, unless I am missing something :) — Adam, Sep 24 '21 at 00:05

As an alternative, instead of removing all breakpoints, you can just mute them. This will help in the case that you want to stop breaking on all of them. They will still exist, so you can toggle this setting again to start breaking on them.

The mute breakpoints button can be found in the Debug view (view can be toggled using View -> Tool Windows -> Debug), in the left-hand side button menu. I attached a screenshot below.

You can add a shortcut for this: In Intellij press Ctrl + SHIFT + S (Settings) -> KeyMap -> In Right Panel search "Mute Breakpoints" and insert the shortcut you like – Antimo Apr 13 '16 at 10:09
Mines Ctrl + Alt + S for settings (Not sure if its always been the case, but it is now) – Boo Aug 11 '16 at 01:09

As mentioned in this answer the shortcut works.
But we tend to forget the combination of keys (I do).

There exists another way to access breakpoints window.

Clicking on this button will open breakpoints window.

Here is one of my trick to remove all breakpoints of a page:

Ctrl+A : select all code
Ctrl+X : cut all codes
Ctrl+V : paste all code

this trick removes all breakpoints at one go and it takes less than a second.

on some Keyboards that share multiple functions with F keys it would be Shift + Command + Fn + F8; Fn for activating F mode – Delorean Mar 17 '17 at 10:49

I didn't find the answer about how to remove all breakpoints with one click (or a shortcut) in Itellij IDEA - so I found this opportunity in: Settings -> Keymap -> Debugger Actions

there You can find "Remove All Breakpoints" and "Remove All Breakpoints In The Current File". You can add a shortcut or add this action on a toolbar (I prefer this way more).
