Intellij: Projects

Setting ID: intellij.projects

In settings.json, list the projects to import when automatic detection is not enough, such as a monorepo or a directory that groups several projects.

Full: sends anonymous usage statistics and full error reports, including exception messages and attachments.
Anonymous: sends anonymous usage statistics and anonymized error reports. Exception messages, user data, and attachments are removed.
None: does not send usage statistics or error reports.

IntelliJ: Region

Setting ID: intellij.region

File Templates

File templates define the initial contents of newly created source files. Templates use the Apache Velocity template language and support predefined variables, custom variables, conditional expressions, and other Velocity directives. Variables are replaced with their values when a new file is created, allowing you to customize generated files to match your project's coding conventions.

The following predefined variables are available:

Variable	Description
`${PACKAGE_NAME}`	Name of the package in which the new file is created
`${USER}`	Current user system login name
`${DATE}`	Current system date
`${TIME}`	Current system time
`${YEAR}`	Current year
`${MONTH}`	Current month
`${MONTH_NAME_SHORT}`	First three letters of the current month name, for example, Jan or Feb
`${MONTH_NAME_FULL}`	Full name of the current month, for example, January or February
`${DAY}`	Current day of the month
`${DAY_NAME_SHORT}`	First three letters of the current day name, for example, Mon or Tue
`${DAY_NAME_FULL}`	Full name of the current day, for example, Monday or Tuesday
`${HOUR}`	Current hour
`${MINUTE}`	Current minute
`${PROJECT_NAME}`	Name of the current project
