"Create local variable" before "Create field"?

Personally I use "Create local variable" intention much more often than "create
field." If other people work this way, I'll file an issue to place it first
in the intention list. Which do you use more?

I wish it were customizable. Intentions are never in the order I want them in. I love to use alt-enter on constructor parameters to create new fields and is what I want listed first. It used to be, but now it's not.

Incidentally, what IS listed first, "Remove Parameter" has got to be one of the more useless intentions. I've personally never had a need to use it.

I have used the Remove Parameter quick fix, but use other intentions
more often too. Perhaps the intentions menu needs some mnemonics?

What about ordering intentions based on usage statistics? I thinik that way
everybody should eventually become happy.

Hum that would be very cool since each IDE will take on the form of what
ever the user is working on. Can you make it project specific? So
usage statistics by project, so that whenever we switch from a say Web
app to a Swing app, the intention usages will be different.

Now that would be cool. Something only IDEA would/could do.

yes, of course, it will be project based.
Can you enter the request to JIRA?

This would definitely satisfy my needs. I assume that the ordering settings will be transferrable like other configuration settings to a new install of Idea?

Wasn't sure who you were asking:

http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-1597

So I did it.

Well, I prefer a fixed order, because you can remember where something is
located. Take the Alt-F1 pop-up. I use it only to open the Project view,
hence I only need to press Alt-F1, Enter. When I do this on a fresh
installation, the damn Structure pane opens...

That's where enters my request. Alright, present ordering based on each project usage statistics is really cool. There are a few problem, thou.

1) We still need a default order, for a fresh installation
2) There must be some "global" usage statistic anyway, to be used when the user creates a new project. The problem Tom pointed above is really annoying: everytime I create a new project, the "structure view" is first on the ALT+F1 popup, and that's not what I've been using.

P.S.: maybe the ALT+F1 dialog suffers from a defaults problem. I think 'project' is what most people use on that dialog, it doesn't make much sense for 'structure' to come first.

Well, I just want at least SOME control over how the intentions are ordered. I agree with Thomas that there are some idiosynchrasies associated with ordering based upon usage. Ideally I would like to be able to control it manually in the IDE Settings dialog. While what can appear in each box is dependent on context, it would still be possible to have one master list of all intentions and order those intentions from most imnportant to least. That way, you would have total control of all the ordering for all the intentions.

Yeah I don't like that dialog either. I assumed that the order was determined
randomly. Is it determined based on what I use the most?

Alt-F1 is clearly random. I swear if I mapped 10,000 runs of it I would see a uniform distribution. Since I only ever use it for going to the Project pane (under what possible circumstances would I want the Package view or the Commander, and the structure view is covered by Alt-F12?), that is a problem.

I always thought it was meant to be context-dependent in some way. But
I've got no clue what this context is supposed to be. I never use it
except for going to the Project pane.
