Two editions of the new version of IntelliJ IDEA are available for download now from the company Web site.

The Branches popup now includes an explicit search field and a reworked Refresh button.The reworked "Interactively Rebase from Here" dialog features a graph showing which actions have been applied, displays of commit details, and it lets developers see a diff so they can review or reset the changes as appropriate.It also allows devs to add changes to a commit when they are ready, and compose a commit message iteratively. A new Commit tool window that provides more space for the list of modified files and the diff.And the Zen mode combines Distraction Free Mode with Full Screen Mode, allowing devs to eliminate any distractions and focus solely on their source code. The navigation bar now shows methods in Java classes and interfaces. The new Code Vision feature shows the usages and implementations of Java symbols.

The LightEdit mode also allows devs to quickly rename and edit the parameters of a class or method with the newly added in-place Rename and Change Signature refactorings. "f you just need to open a single file, make a few changes, and save, LightEdit is the quickest way to do it," said JetBrains product manager Artem Sarkisov, in a blog post, "and you don't have to use a third-party editor." In LightEdit mode, a file is opened in a separate editor window which may coexist with other project windows. The new LightEdit mode in this release gives developers a way to make quick modifications to standalone files in a text-like editor without creating or loading the entire project. The free and open-source Mono was specifically designed by the Prague-based company for developers to improve code readability. The recently introduced JetBrains Mono font has become the default font in IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.
