Just press Alt+InsertAlt+InsertAlt+InsertAlt+InsertAlt+InsertAlt+InsertCtrl+N or Alt+InsertAlt+InsertAlt+InsertControl N or Control EnterControl N or Control EnterMeta N or Control Enter, and choose on the pop-up menu. After executing the CreateFilters.groovy target, the stub class with the filter definition is created under grails-app/conf directory of your Grails application.
Note that IntelliJ IDEA automatically provides the proper name of your filter class ( *Filters.groovy), so you only need to specify the initial characters of the filter class name.
