User experience 

Visual formatting layer in Reader mode

IntelliJ IDEA 2022.3 now provides the ability to read code in your preferred style, which might differ from the current file formatting. You can apply a new visual formatting layer in Reader mode, which visually adjusts the code according to your custom formatting scheme with no need to reformat the real code.

Similar usages clusters in Find Usages results

For IntelliJ IDEA 2022.3, we’ve improved the Find Usages functionality to provide you with more insightful information about how any code element is used in a project.

With the help of a clustering algorithm, the IDE now analyzes search results, detects the most common usage patterns, and categorizes all found usages into groups based on their structural similarity. These usage clusters appear in the Preview tab of the Find Usages toolwindow. Select any group node from the list and click on Show similar usages to look through the results.

Version Control Systems

Redesigned Review list for GitHub and Space

We’ve reworked the Review list UI to help reduce cognitive load and provide the most important information about requests at a glance. As part of this, we’ve also ensured a consistent look and feel across all supported review platforms.

While we’re getting everything ready for the major release, there are still a couple weeks where you can test out the new features and help us make the final version work smoothly. Please share your feedback with us in the comments section below or on Twitter, or submit a report to our issue tracker if you find a bug. 

Happy developing!
