Missing display panel in intellij idea

When debugging in eclipse, I selected expression and pressed ctrl+i and then ctrl+d. Then I see my expression in display view and there I can evaluate any java code. Is there such view in intellij-idea?

If you want the same behavior as "Display" window in Eclipse, just press alt+F8 and then click on "code fragment mode".

I'm an eclipse user and I know exactly what you mean by running code in display view. check this 

 double shift (or find anything) -> evaluate expression -> Click code fragment

check console for the code that I run in debug mode

I'm not familiar with the exact behaviour in eclipse, so i am guessing a little here, but you should be able to do the same thing in two ways.

Given you are debugging and have stopped at a breakpoint, you can evaluate an expression that is valid in the current scope by highlighting it, hitting alt-f8 and then enter - or the quick version is simply ctrl-alt-f8

Or you may prefer to right click on the expression and choose Add to Watches (in the Debug pane, ensure you have selected the Debugger panel, rather than Console).

Good luck!
