Is there a way to delete if clause keeping its body with a hotkey?

Ctrl-Shift-Delete (called "Unwrap..." action)

And want to remove if (someCondition), but leave doThat() invocation. I'd like to do it with a single hotkey when caret is on "if" keyword. I want to do the same trick with for, while etc. Is that possible, or should I file a issue request?

Not as far as I know, and this is something I've wanted too for a long
time...
N.

control + shift + delete

Excellent!

I have been using IntelliJ for over 5 years and did not know about this shortcut! It would have saved me much pain over the years...

I will make good use of it for now on!

The same story for me.
Try looking through Help -> Productivity Guide and find some goodies you never used because never knew that it is possible. Though "Unwrap" intention is not listed there.

Indeed, it's a good candidate for the tips that show during compiles.
