IntelliJ Idea: the famous IDE for JVM languages including Java, Scala, and
Kotlin. If you don't have it installed, follow Install IntelliJ IDEA on Linux

to boost your productivity with IntelliJ Idea.
Wait! Isn't IntelliJ Idea ready to be used out of the box? There is no doubt about the capability of IntelliJ Idea; of course, it can handle your project without any tweaks and customization. However, this article shows you how I customize my IntelliJ Idea for better productivity. All we going to do is enabling some hidden features and installing some plugins that may take your favorite IDE to the next level.
Though I specifically mention the IntelliJ Idea, the following tweaks apply to all Jetbrains' IDEs:

- AppCode
- CLion
- GoLand
- PhpStorm
- PyCharm
- Rider
- RubyMine

1. Enable the toolbar
Go to View → Appearance and select Toolbar
The toolbar provides quick access to frequently used buttons such as Save All,
Back, and Forward with a cost of small vertical space. I prefer to have the
toolbar enabled because it moves the Build button to the left that makes it
easy to access using my muscle memory. In addition, you can add more shortcuts
to this toolbar if you like.
