idea.properties

Use ${idea.home.path} macro to specify location relative to IDE installation home.

Use ${xxx} where xxx is any Java property (including defined in previous lines of this file) to refer to its value.

Note for Windows users: please make sure you’re using forward slashes (e.g. c:/idea/system).

———————————————————————

Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE config folder. Make sure you’re using forward slashes.

———————————————————————

idea.config.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/config

idea=c:/idea
idea.config.path=${idea}/.IntelliJIdea/config

———————————————————————

Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE system folder. Make sure you’re using forward slashes.

———————————————————————

idea.system.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/system

idea.system.path=${idea}/.IntelliJIdea/system

———————————————————————

Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to user installed plugins folder. Make sure you’re using forward slashes.

———————————————————————

idea.plugins.path=${idea.config.path}/plugins

idea.plugins.path=${idea.config.path}/plugins

———————————————————————

Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE logs folder. Make sure you’re using forward slashes.

———————————————————————

idea.log.path=${idea.system.path}/log

idea.log.path=${idea.system.path}/log

———————————————————————

Maximum file size (kilobytes) IDE should provide code assistance for.

The larger file is the slower its editor works and higher overall system memory requirements are

if code assistance is enabled. Remove this property or set to very large number if you need

code assistance for any files available regardless their size.

———————————————————————

idea.max.intellisense.filesize=2500

———————————————————————

Maximum file size (kilobytes) IDE is able to open.

———————————————————————

idea.max.content.load.filesize=20000

———————————————————————

This option controls console cyclic buffer: keeps the console output size not higher than the specified buffer size (Kb).

Older lines are deleted. In order to disable cycle buffer use idea.cycle.buffer.size=disabled

———————————————————————

idea.cycle.buffer.size=1024

———————————————————————

Configure if a special launcher should be used when running processes from within IDE.

Using Launcher enables “soft exit” and “thread dump” features

———————————————————————

idea.no.launcher=false

———————————————————————

To avoid too long classpath

———————————————————————

idea.dynamic.classpath=false

———————————————————————

Uncomment this property to prevent IDE from throwing ProcessCanceledException when user activity

detected. This option is only useful for plugin developers, while debugging PSI related activities

performed in background error analysis thread.

DO NOT UNCOMMENT THIS UNLESS YOU’RE DEBUGGING IDE ITSELF. Significant slowdowns and lockups will happen otherwise.

———————————————————————

idea.ProcessCanceledException=disabled

———————————————————————

There are two possible values of idea.popup.weight property: “heavy” and “medium”.

If you have WM configured as “Focus follows mouse with Auto Raise” then you have to

set this property to “medium”. It prevents problems with popup menus on some

configurations.

———————————————————————

idea.popup.weight=heavy

———————————————————————

Removing this property may lead to editor performance degradation under Windows.

———————————————————————

sun.java2d.d3d=false

———————————————————————

Set swing.bufferPerWindow=false to workaround a slow scrolling in JDK6 (see IDEA-35883),

But this may lead to performance degradation in JDK8, because it disables a double buffering,

which is needed to eliminate tearing on blit-accelerated scrolling and to restore

a frame buffer content without the usual repainting, even when the EDT is blocked.

———————————————————————

swing.bufferPerWindow=true

———————————————————————

Removing this property may lead to editor performance degradation under X Window.

———————————————————————

sun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false

———————————————————————

Enables HiDPI support in JBRE

———————————————————————

sun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=true

———————————————————————

Applicable to the Swing text components displaying HTML (except JEditorPane).

Rebases CSS size map depending on the component’s font size to let relative

font size values (smaller, larger) scale properly. JBRE only.

———————————————————————

javax.swing.rebaseCssSizeMap=true

———————————————————————

Workaround to avoid long hangs while accessing clipboard under Mac OS X.

———————————————————————

ide.mac.useNativeClipboard=True

———————————————————————

Maximum size (kilobytes) IDEA will load for showing past file contents -

in Show Diff or when calculating Digest Diff

———————————————————————

idea.max.vcs.loaded.size.kb=20480

———————————————————————

IDEA file chooser peeks inside directories to detect whether they contain a valid project

(to mark such directories with a corresponding icon).

Uncommenting the option prevents this behavior outside of user home directory.

———————————————————————

idea.chooser.lookup.for.project.dirs=false

Experimental option that does a number of things to make truly smooth scrolling possible:

#

* Enables hardware-accelerated scrolling.

Blit-acceleration copies as much of the rendered area as possible and then repaints only newly exposed region.

This helps to improve scrolling performance and to reduce CPU usage (especially if drawing is compute-intensive).

#

* Enables “true double buffering”.

True double buffering is needed to eliminate tearing on blit-accelerated scrolling and to restore

frame buffer content without the usual repainting, even when the EDT is blocked.

#

* Adds “idea.true.smooth.scrolling.debug” option.

Checks whether blit-accelerated scrolling is feasible, and if so, checks whether true double buffering is available.

#

* Enables handling of high-precision mouse wheel events.

Although Java 7 introduced MouseWheelEven.getPreciseWheelRotation() method, JScrollPane doesn’t use it so far.

Depends on the Editor / General / Smooth Scrolling setting, remote desktop detection and power save mode state.

Ideally, we need to patch the runtime (on Windows, Linux and Mac OS) to improve handling of the fine-grained input data.

This feature can be toggled via “idea.true.smooth.scrolling.high.precision” option.

#

* Enables handling of pixel-perfect scrolling events.

Currently this mode is available only under Mac OS with JetBrains Runtime.

This feature can be toggled via “idea.true.smooth.scrolling.pixel.perfect” option.

#

* Enables interpolation of scrolling input (scrollbar, mouse wheel, touchpad, keys, etc).

Smooths input which lacks both spatial and temporal resolution, performs the rendering asynchronously.

Depends on the Editor / General / Smooth Scrolling setting, remote desktop detection and power save mode state.

The feature can be tweaked using the following options:

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation” - the main switch

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.scrollbar” - scrollbar interpolation

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.scrollbar.delay” - initial delay for scrollbar interpolation (ms)

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.mouse.wheel” - mouse wheel / touchpad interpolation

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.mouse.wheel.delay.min” - minimum initial delay for mouse wheel interpolation (ms)

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.mouse.wheel.delay.max” - maximum initial delay for mouse wheel interpolation (ms)

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.precision.touchpad” - precision touchpad interpolation

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.precision.touchpad.delay” - initial delay for precision touchpad interpolation (ms)

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.other” - interpolation of other input sources

“idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.other.delay” - initial delay for other input source interpolation (ms)

#

* Adds on-demand horizontal scrollbar in editor.

The horizontal scrollbar is shown only when it’s actually needed for currently visible content.

This helps to save editor space and to prevent occasional horizontal “jitter” on vertical touchpad scrolling.

This feature can be toggled via “idea.true.smooth.scrolling.dynamic.scrollbars” option.

———————————————————————–

idea.true.smooth.scrolling=true

IDEA can copy library .jar files to prevent their locking.

By default this behavior is enabled on Windows and disabled on other platforms.

Uncomment this property to override.

———————————————————————

idea.jars.nocopy=false

———————————————————————

The VM option value to be used to start a JVM in debug mode.

Some JREs define it in a different way (-XXdebug in Oracle VM)

———————————————————————

idea.xdebug.key=-Xdebug

———————————————————————–

Change to ‘enabled’ if you want to receive instant visual notifications

about fatal errors that happen to an IDE or plugins installed.

———————————————————————–

idea.fatal.error.notification=disabled
