  5. Ctrl + E | View recent files
  6. Alt + F8 | Evaluate an expression in debug mode
  7. Ctrl + G | Go to line
  8. Ctrl + I | Override or implement methods
  9. Ctrl + F12 | Find any function within class
  10. Ctrl + Shift + T | Navigate between main class and testing class
  11. Alt + Enter | Show context actions
  12. Ctrl + Space | Basic code completion
  13. Ctrl + D | Duplicate Line
  14. Ctrl + Shift + /  | Comment block with multiline comment
  15. Ctrl + Alt + L | Reformat Code
  16. Shift + Shift | Find anything/search everywhere
  17. Ctrl + Ctrl | Run any run command or configurations
