Sorry, I did not realize that Maia was the codename for IntelliJ 9. I am actually quite new to IntelliJ (started today!)

Sorry again!

I am using IntelliJ v8.1.4 for now. Which version are you telling is implementing this copy/paste?

Also, why not simply making it a ctrl+c / ctrl+v (under Windows environment, do the same for others)? Not possible?

I have just tried this with the August 21st build and it does NOT work on Ubuntu 9.4. If I drop a file into an opened editor, Idea drops the file path as text into the opened file. It does nothing if I drop it elsewhere (even in the main editor if no editor windows are open) I have found that dragging and dropping of files on Linux with java to be a little difficult. The source of the drag can be a file, list of files, list of file paths, or one string consisting of newline-separated paths. Sometimes the same native Linux app will provide the drag source in different forms depending on how exactly you initiated the drag (I assume a result of too many cooks in the kitchen). To get drag and drop support to work on Linux in my own apps, I’ve had to handle all of those cases.

This uses standard Java APIs rather than native stuff, so I would expect this to work on Linux as well, although I haven’t tested it myself.

I’m also a Linux user and I’m wondering as well - will we get the drag and drop support or is it only available in Windows/OSX builds? I guess it’s using some native stuff via JNI…

What about Linux? I (as an Ubuntu user) would be very happy about being able to drag files into IDEA…

how about a “send to IDEA” context menu in Finder/Explorer?

Great news, but doesn’t appear to be working in 10369. When should we expect this?

On a Mac “Copy” key is “Alt” or “Option”.
And, one more thing. Can you do “Reveal in Finder/Explorer” option? To quickly select a file/directory in a file browser â€”Â it’s very useful during web development.

Thanks.
