How do I find a file quickly in IntelliJ IDEA?
Press Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+O (macOS) to open the “Find File” dialog. Start typing the filename — IntelliJ uses camel case matching, so typing “APC” will find “ApplicationPropertiesController.java”. Use Ctrl+N / Cmd+O to find classes specifically.
How do I reformat code in IntelliJ IDEA?
Press Ctrl+Alt+L (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Alt+L (macOS) to reformat the entire file or selected code. IntelliJ applies your configured code style settings (spaces, indentation, braces, imports). Use Ctrl+Alt+O / Cmd+Alt+O to optimize imports at the same time.

See the full IntelliJ IDEA guide for advanced configuration.
