Ask HN: What are your favorite tips/tricks about IDEs that aren't well known?

I'm preparing a presentation to help my coworkers make better use of the tools we all use and would be interested in what other devs recommend.

My presentation is focused on windows, IntelliJ,... (What we use at work) but any tip is welcome.

I currently have:

IntelliJ

   Shortcuts: Shift-F6, Ctrl-Ctrl-arrow, Ctrl-Shift-C/V, Ctrl-E, Ctrl-Shift-arrow, Ctrl-Shift-F

   Functionality: Shift-Breakpoint (for output only), Compare with clipboard, Structural search, Live templates

   Plugins: AceJump, Archive Browser, Jump to line, Key Promoter X, Rainbow Brackets Lite, SpotBugs, Unicorn Progress Bar
git: subtree

Make pdfs "editable": qpdf --qdf --object-streams=disable orig.pdf expanded.pdf

Notepad++: XML Plugin

Chrome: uBlacklist

We use Atlassian products (Confluence, Jira, Bitbucket, Bamboo) and I am still looking for settings, tricks which would make them more useful.

I would like to show some cool bash one-liners (which obviously must work in Windows).
