Could idea improve creating java class?
For now we can not create class and its package at the same time, we have to first right click ,create a package then right click again ,create a class. And another inconvenient is no shortcut to create a class ,which is too common for developer. I think eclipse does well in the section. Sometimes I switch to eclipse cause I can't bear always right clicking to create something.

Hi,
in IntelliJ you don't need to right-click
You can press ALT+Ins in a lot of places to create things.
- In the project view / file tree to create packages and classes. In the list of possibile file types just type the first letters and press enter to select the menu item.
- In files to create methods, ...
There's usually a keyboard shortcut to do the most common things.

Hello fxbird,
You can actually create a package and a class in one step. Simply enter a
qualified name (newpackage.util.MyClass) in the Create Class dialog.
