How to open or call the regexTester plugin in intellij IDEA

I am relatively new to the Intellij IDEA (community edition) plugin.

I just installed this

A plugin for testing and validating regular expressions in Intellij, but I can not call the plugin window from anywhere.

I tried going to Settings> Plugins, but no luck.

Does anyone have an idea about using this plugin in intelliJ?

You can always try Ctrl + Shift + A and enter Regex Tester or just Regex . It will also show you a shortcut if there is one assigned.

Intellij 1.5.06 (I think this applies to newer versions as well).

  • Make sure it is installed and turned on (restart Intellij if necessary)
    File-> Setting-> Search Plugins-> Search RegexTester
  • By clicking on the icon in the lower left corner, click and select RegexTester

In IntelliJ, the RegEx plugin tester is available as an intent in the source code. The intent should automatically appear when the cursor is inside the regular expression pattern line. If it is not, try Alt + Enter when the cursor is inside the regular expression.

There are two main reasons why an intention does not appear:

  1. RegExp intent check is disabled. Check with Ctrl + Shift + A and enter the text. Check RegExp .
  2. IntelliLang plugin is disabled. Check with Ctrl + Shift + A and type IntelliLang . (In 2018.2, regex support is included in this plugin.)

Hope this helps you / others.
