Is it possible to list all files which have local changes in IntelliJ IDEA (outside of "Changes" view)

Solution 1:

2020.1 and later versions have an option to use the new non-modal Commit tool-window:

non-modal

If you enable this option, the local changes will be in the Commit tool window.

Previous IDE versions have the following ways to view modified files:

  • Local changes tab (View | Tool Windows | Version Control - Local Changes), default shortcut is Alt+9.

  • Changed files Scope in the Project view

Previously the only way to view the changed files was via the Commit dialog:

Version Control | Commit Changes will show a dialog with locally changed files.

Solution 2:

You can go on the Project Pane, and find the option

 View as > Scope > Changed Files
It will show a tree with only the modified files.

Solution 3:

Pressing Alt+9 (in MacOS X Cmd+9) you can get a panel with the changed files

Solution 4:

With 2020.2, you can view the local change list with the tab "commit" on your left (keystroke alt+0): enter image description here
