Description

ActionId

In this text field, type the identifier of the new action.

Class name

In this text field, specify the name of the class where the new action will be defined. The created stub class contains import statements, and extends AnAction.

Name

Specify the name that will identify the new action in the UI.

Add to Group

In this section, select a group where the action will belong (Groups section), and specify its position (Anchor) relative to the other actions in this group (Actions).

Keyboard shortcuts

In the two text fields below, specify the optional primary and secondary keyboard shortcuts, by pressing keyboard keys and their combinations.

warning

If you opt to specify the keyboard shortcuts, it is important to use the mouse pointer for clearing the keyboard shortcuts text fields, applying changes and closing the dialog, because any keystroke will be interpreted as a shortcut.
