ide editor

IntelliJ

→ Git Integration

→ Git reviews

The github/gitlab reviews are painful / heterogeneous. The tool allows to get fetch the PR and review the code easily.

→ Vim Integration

Vimidea let you use vim within intellij. To my experience, it si incredibly well integrated. Some features are also better integrated. (for examble, readline shortcuts within the comand bar)

→ Reformat SQL on selected rows

:!pg_format

→ Vim plugins

You can use several vim plugin

~/.ideavimrc

Plug 'machakann/vim-highlightedyank'

set highlightedyank

Plug 'tpope/vim-surround'
set surround

set hlsearch

→ Maven integration

• Refresh a project: right click pom.xml > Maven > Generate sources and update folders

→ Tmux integration

The below configuration allows to:

1. use tmux as a terminal in idea
2. share copy/paste between tmux and idea
3. restore tmux session in case of idea exit/crash

• create a custom bash script /home/parisni/bin/tmux-idea:

  #!/usr/bin/env bash
  # we assume a idea project is associated w/ a unique path
  # replace dot w/ underscore since that's a special char for tmux
  session_name="${PWD//./_}"
  # resume session if exists
  tmux attach -t "$session_name" || tmux new-session -s "$session_name"
  

• In idea: Tool>Terminal>Shell> /home/parisni/bin/tmux-idea
• In tmux:

  # in order to use xclip as a proxy for copy
  # then idea works w/ tmux
  bind -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel 'xclip -in -selection clipboard'
  
  # Use v to trigger selection
  bind-key -T copy-mode-vi v send-keys -X begin-selection
  

→ Python integration

1. install the python plugin
2. in Project Structure > Facets, Add facet and choose Python
3. in Modules choose the python module path, and in dependency, Add Jars or Directory
4. choose the source root
5. now come back to the Project file listing, and Mark Directory as source root again

→ Share database sources
