But I suspect that's not how your team works, or they wouldn't expect everyone to use the same IDE. However, my experience of this was about 14 years ago there may be other pairing tools available, especially now in the age of Covid - if you have some sort of remote pairing, it may be possible to have different IDE settings without affecting each other. Well, that's what happened to me, anyway. Pairing worked best if both programmers could easily access the keyboard in equal measure - otherwise one person would end up doing all the typing, and the other would just end up watching and trying to avoid falling asleep.


At least, that was my experience in one job which was very pair-programming oriented. Is that the reason your job requires everyone to use IntelliJ, for pair programming? If that's the case, you may find that others in the team object to having the eclipse shortcuts set, as that makes it harder for two paired programmers to trade roles between typing and observing. This is because itâs a foreign key (hence the fk on the table icon) and JPA knows you probably donât want to use that foreign key. Learning and practicing these shortcuts so they get loaded into our muscle memory can help us to stay in the state of flow. I also use the brand new TopLink 11g preview (a JPA implementation), but you can try this at home with every JPA-implementation. IntelliJ IDEA has keyboard shortcuts for most of its commands related to editing, navigation, refactoring, debugging, and pretty much everything else we might want to do regularly. Monica, I see that elsewhere you are talking about pair programming. Today I will show you how to map your data with IntelliJ IDEA.
