Favorites

Last modified: 16 March 2021

When your project comprises thousands of files, browsing them can be tedious. Normally, there's a number of files or folders that you need more often than the rest of the project. To quickly access such files, add them to the Favorites list.

The list can include project elements (files, folders, packages, instance and class members), bookmarks, and breakpoints.

There's always one pre-defined empty list that has the same name as the project. You can create more lists and move items between them, if necessary.

Favorites tool window

Whenever you need to access your favorite items, press Alt+2 or choose View | Tool Windows | Favorites from the menu.

To open one or more favorite items, select them in the list and press F4.
