3 Must-Have IntelliJ Plugins to Boost your Productivity
In software development, productivity is often a function of how well you leverage the tools at your disposal. IntelliJ IDEA, a widely-used Integrated Development Environment (IDE), offers a plethora of features out-of-the-box. However, the true power of IntelliJ lies in its extensibility — its ability to integrate with a myriad of plugins designed to augment its capabilities. Today, we will delve into three such plugins — KeyPromoterX, GitToolBox, and CodeGlance Pro — that have significantly impacted my coding workflow. These plugins, though seemingly trivial, offer nuanced functionalities that can streamline your development process in IntelliJ.
What sets CodeGlance Pro apart is its high level of customizability. You can adjust various settings, ranging from the pixels per line to multiple highlighting options. One feature that I find particularly impressive is its versatility — it works not just within the code editor, but also extends its functionality to the Run tab and even the Diff viewer. This becomes incredibly useful, especially when you’re navigating through a lengthy stack trace. pointed out, if you need a map to navigate your code, you’re likely facing a host of other issues — and I agree. However, I believe the plugin is particularly useful for navigating legacy codebases as well as large JSON or XML files.
