As for a keyboard only solution to duplicate a file in IntelliJ:

On Linux:

Press Alt+Home to activate the navigation bar, then either press F5, or press Ctrl+C to copy the file and then press Ctrl+V to paste it, a dialog will appear to name your new file.

On Mac:

Press Cmd+Up to activate the navigation bar, then either press F5, or press Cmd+C to copy the file and then press Cmd+V to paste it, a dialog will appear to name your new file.

Answer 2

Ctrl + C on target file/folder

Ctrl + V on destination folder

Enter new name and press Enter...

I found that ctrl+c/ctrl+v will not copy files on IDEA in Linux (using x2go to connect on a Windows box). I was able to get it working if I close xclipboard but then copying between Windows and Linux dialogs stops working.

Answer 4

⌥ + drag

• Mac
  Press Option key and drag the original file.
• PC
  Press Alt key and drag the original file.

You will be prompted for a new name.

Works for classes too:
