Action for "Find in Files" in JetBrains IDEs

In JetBrains IDEs, Main Menu | Edit | Find | Find in Files.... On Mac it has Cmd + Sift + F shortcut.

Does anybody know what action it is? I could not find it in IntelliJ action list.

IdeaVIM has a feature to display action IDs as you do things. See the section Finding action ids in the IdeaVim README for details on how to use that.

If for some reason that doesn't work, I've come up with another way to find action names to use in IdeaVIM key bindings (or anywhere else you need the action name). Here is the process:

  1. Go to IntelliJ settings and open the Keymap settings.
  2. Use the search bar to find the action.
  3. Right-click (or ⌃-click) on the action and choose "Add Abbreviation".
  4. Type in a string that's unlikely to be used anywhere else. I use "zjzjzj".
  5. Click OK to close settings and save to disk.
  6. Open up your IntelliJ Configuration directory. This is idea.config.path on the page Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs. Currently on my machine it is "~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2023.2" but it depends on your OS and IntelliJ version.
  7. Open up the file options/abbrevs.xml in a text editor.
  8. Search for the string you used in Step 4, e.g. "zjzjzj".
  9. Now you'll see the action id you're looking for. Example below.
  10. Clean up by removing the abbreviation in Settings→Keymap.

Example of what shows up in abbrevs.xml:

      <action id="FindInPath">
        <abbreviation name="zjzjzj" />
      </action>

Try FindInPath ("Find in Path" -- that's what "Find in Files" used to be called in the past; they have changed the name about 2 years ago or so).

Found the name here: https://gist.github.com/zchee/9c78f91cc5ad771c1f5d
