Feature request
I primarily use Android studio, I am Abby and I had an idea I wanted to suggest for your Intellij code.
I am a new coder yes.. so maybe anybody who has struggled through learning their first few languages knows how confusing it can be to some people.Especially when you are bombarded with so much info and yet you know it will hardly scratch the surface of what you really need to know to become a professional.
So what if you could use IntelliJ to scan over a line with your mouse cursor and have it display a revision syntax to help you understand your errors and checks the logic of that revision by running the code again on button push to see if it resolved the error.
Then you can select to accept the change if you desire.
Such as this;
int yourint;
yourint' = "eight";
}
you get an error or typo or several and you go back to find out whats wrong. In this case a typo " ' " that was put next to the yourint.. int.
You hover over the line and the familiar tool tip pops up with the error. But what if instead intellij suggested the revision in the tool tip that would resolve the error and ran the code on button push to test that change and if successful it has the option to select the change. So in this case it would say Hey this is similar to yourint but seems off would you like to accept this change? yourint = "eight"; Then bam you not only fixed your code with a single click but you got to see in real time what was wrong in the first place so you could prevent it.

IntelliJ IDEA has a lot of inspections and intentions that already allow to fix many common coding issues, some of them are disabled by default. You may want to check it here:

If you have a suggestion for any new inspection or intention action, you can submit it at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.
