IntelliJ IDEA Tips and Tricks

" summary

Demos show concrete workflows: reading a file into a List with extractor refactorings, using statement completion and double-press chain completion to expand scope, and expanding live templates to surround code. Debugger examples include setting lambda breakpoints and non‑suspending breakpoints that log or enable other breakpoints, plus a visual stream-chain tracer. IDE features shown: ML‑assisted completion icons, postfix completion, F2/Shift‑F2 error navigation, try‑with‑resources refactor, and SQL language injection via comment that enables completion and in‑editor query execution.
