Intention actions
As you work in the editor, DataGrip analyzes your code, searches for ways to optimize it, and detects potential and actual problems.
As soon as the IDE finds a way to alter your code, it displays a yellow bulb icon in the editor next to the current line. By clicking this icon, you can view intention actions available in the current context. Intention actions cover a wide range of situations from warnings to optimization suggestions. You can view the full list of intentions and disable them in the settings.
A red bulb with an exclamation mark indicates that DataGrip has detected a problem, and prompts you to select an associated fix — a quick fix.
