IntelliJ navigate to next and previous highlighted variable

Question

In IntelliJ 10.5 I have \"Highlight usages of element at caret\" enabled. When a variable/method/etc is selected, is there a way to move to the next and previous occurrence?

Answer 1

I usually do the following:

1. Highlight the word
2. Cmd + F (it will highlight all the matches in file)
3. Cmd + G (next match)
4. Cmd + Shift + G (previous match)

Answer 2

Answer 3

I found something thay may more suite your needs : alt + mouse-wheel up/down.
It goes to previous / next occurrence of identifier under caret.

Shortcut name is "Go to next highlighted element usage".

Answer 4

Look for next occurrence @ Keymap

^G = "select" the variable that you want to search for

[shift]⌘G = [previous]next occurrence of selected variable

Answer 5

Install Identifier Highlighter Reloaded and use Alt + Shift + Up/Down (can be redefined in Keymap settings) :)

After you give it a shot and notice the 'hey, the highlight stays there after I move my cursor out of it' annoyance, consider upvoting this issue :)

Answer 6

In the Mac OS, you can navigate to next highlighted usage by press control + option + up/down arrow.
