eclipse ctrl+k equivalent shortcut in IntelliJ

Question

In Eclipse, if the cursor is over a word and you press Ctrl+K you will jump to the next occurrence of that word in the file.

Is there a similar shortcut in IntelliJ?

This sort of works, but it doesn't wrap and it doesn't carry over to the next file. In eclipse its nicer: once you hit ctrl-K it caches the text, so even if you switch to another file when you hit ctrl-K again, it finds the occurrence there (and it wraps). Not that your answer is wrong, just would be nice if intellij would have the same behaviour. – htrufan Nov 26 '14 at 09:52

You will need 2 Steps to archive a similar behavior:

Step 1:

Press Ctrl+F3 to start a search for the current selectet text (if no text is selected then the whole word will be taken).

Step 2:

Press F3 to jump to next occurrence or Shift+F3 to jump to the previous.

This approach will even continue the search for the text if you switch to another file. Just press F3 and you will jump to the next occurrence in the other file.

Shift+F3 works for me in Android Studio / IntelliJ, in eclipse we were using Ctrl+K

I think Android Studio/IntelliJ doesn't play that well, for me, I changed Android Studio Keymap to Eclipse as I used to (My collection tips) and to use Ctrl+K, I press search the string first:

Select the text we want to search
Press Ctrl+F, Enter
Then can use: Ctrl+K in any file we are on

That's what I'm doing, hope can help someone with that.

I'm using this solution as well but it's very painful due I need to press Ctrl+F, Enter to update the cache of the search to every new "text" that I want to search for. Someone knows how to find the next reference of a selected string without use the search command? Thanks a lot – GFPF Aug 10 '20 at 19:45

You can do it using macros:

Edit -> Macros -> Start Macro Recording
Edit -> Find -> Find Word at Caret
Edit -> Find -> Find Next/ Move to Next Occurrence
Edit -> Macros -> Stop Macro Recording
Give some name for the macro, e.g. "simulate Eclipse Ctrl+K"
File -> Settings -> Keymap -> Find the macro "simulate eclipse Ctrl+K" -> bind hotkey Ctrl+K

The same can be done for the Ctrl+Shift+K (use Find Previous/ Move to Previous Occurrence).

Keymap : Mac OS X 10.5+

To start / add to your discrete multiple selection : CTRL+G
To skip the current selection and move to the next : CMD+G

Refer: Does IntelliJ have a `Ctrl` + `K`,`Ctrl` + `D` Sublime equivalent? How do I skip a match when using Alt+J for multiple selections in Android Studio?

There are 2 options like below in : Settings -> Keymap -> Main menu -> Find

Find Next / Move to Next Occurrence
Find Previous/ Move to Previous Occurrence

For me, this didn't work at the start because GIT push shortcut was using the same keys (Ctrl + K & Ctrl + Shift + K). All is good after changing the conflicting GIT shortcuts.

You need to first do Ctrl+F on the selected word, now this gets cached then you can use the Ctrl+L and ctrl+shitf+L for going down and up respectively. This is already present. its just that instead of ctrl+K you got use ctrl+L. small change same effect

In IntelliJ, if the cursor is over a word and you press Command+G you will jump to the next occurrence of that word in the file. Similarly, you press Command+Shift+G you will jump to the previous occurrence of that word in the file
