Select current line in intellij

Solution 1:

Simply hit ctrl+c.

Note that for this to select the whole line, you need to ensure that nothing is already selected; otherwise it'll work as an usual "copy" command.

Solution 2:

1. move caret to line
2. on Windows, press ctrl+shift+a . This popup appears, where you find Select Line at Caret
   
3. for quick access, you can specify a shortcut in Settings

Solution 3:

I would like to also add the following from JetBrains website. Because, that what i was looking for here, but no one mentioned it.

1- To select text from the current caret position to the beginning/end of the current word:

Ctrl+Shift+Left, Ctrl+Shift+Right.

2- To select text from the caret position to the beginning/end of the current line:

Double-click Ctrl and press Home/End

3- To select text from the current caret position to the top/bottom of the screen:

Ctrl+Shift+Page Up, Ctrl+Shift+Page Down.

Solution 4:

If none of the above are working, I suggest using end and home keys in combination with shift allowing you to select lines quickly.

Solution 5:

Go to the end of the line and hit Ctrl+W. If you'll hit Ctrl+W at the beginning of the line it will select only one word.
