IntelliJ IDEA does not have a dedicated shortcut for overriding methods. However, you can leverage the following shortcut to quickly implement a method override:
- Alt+Insert (or Ctrl+Insert on Windows/Linux): This shortcut brings up the "Generate" menu, which includes options for overriding methods.
Once the "Generate" menu appears, simply select the method you want to override, and IntelliJ will automatically generate the necessary code.
Example:
Let's say you have a class MyClass
that inherits from the class ParentClass
. ParentClass
has a method doSomething()
. To override this method in MyClass
, you can follow these steps:
- Open the
MyClass
file in IntelliJ. - Place your cursor inside the class body.
- Press Alt+Insert (or Ctrl+Insert).
- Select Override Methods.
- Choose
doSomething()
from the list of methods available for overriding.
IntelliJ will then create a new method doSomething()
in MyClass
with the correct signature, ready for you to implement.
