Build ID: I20070323-1616 Steps To Reproduce: In a blank Java method type a line like the following: List l = new ArrayList(); In general, you don't know whether some type has been imported or not. By the time the missing type errors are squiggled, the cursor is often on the next line. What I would like is a more aggressive pop-up to appear below the first missing type with note that says something like "import type List - Ctrl+1". The key binding would then work no matter where the cursor is. In other words, fixing missing types would have priority over all other "Ctrl+1" quick fixes. This is what IntelliJ has always done, and I really miss it. This is distinct from https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=107496, which seems to try to minimize the pain associated with the missing import. More information:
If I remember right, Intellij uses a different key for missing types. Our key would be 'Organize Import' or, if you enabled Organize Imports on Save, 'Save'. No plans to play around with the CTRL+1 positioning behaviour for now
IntelliJ uses "Alt+Enter" for fixing imports, which is the same key binding as is used for Quick Fix (IntelliJ uses a different term called "Intention Action"). This is such a widely used operation, the preference to disable it is in the status bar. I have attached a screen shot to show how it looks with a missing type. I am fine with having a different key binding than Ctrl+1, as long as the key binding is shown in the popup. I would not like this bound to either Save or Organize Imports because Organize Imports does too much. I don't use it since it creates too many diffs.
