The IntelliJ tip bot tweets IntelliJ usage tips.

Note: Many of these tips are specific to a keymap, e.g., Mac OS X, which may or may not be the one you use. I use the Vim and Mac OS X 10.5+ keymaps, for example. If a given tip doesn't work with your settings, use the description to find the equivalent.

Special thanks to @almalkawi (and contributors) for making his IntelliJ shortcuts list available.
