How to quickly switch different project in intellij

Question

I have to open each intellij instance for each application. And switch between these project are not so efficient. (there's no dependency between these project, so I can not add them into one project). I just wonder is there efficient way to switch between different projects in intellij.

Answer 1

The question is what do you want it to be? Go to settings, select keymap, and search for project.

There you will find the next and previous projects.. you can apply them or change them if you find them convenient. I chose (option + right arrow) for next and (option + left arrow) for previous.

Answer 2

If you're a MacOS user: As well as the Command+` and Command+Shift+` keyboard shortcuts which IntelliJ offers to toggle between IntelliJ windows, the OS-level Control+↓ keyboard shortcut is an excellent way to see and navigate between windows of the current app. The screenshot below shows the view which it offers. If you turn on App Exposé in your Trackpad preferences, you can also get to this view by swiping down with three fingers.

Use search everywhere command (shift + shift) and type Open Recent - you will be able to switch to one of your recent projects.
