Trying Out RubyMine 6.0

Last week, JetBrains released RubyMine 6.0. The most significant feature is multi-project support; perfect for component-based Rails architectures. However, in this post, we’ll look at OS X keyboard shortcuts for some of the other new features.

Search Everywhere

Quickly press shift twice to search files, classes, symbols, IDE actions, preferences, etc.

You must include a “/” at the end of the directory name.

File structure, command + F12, now supports finding model fields.

Upgrade It

A decent mix of big and small features and fixes, coupled with an overall increase in speed, makes the new RubyMine well worth the upgrade.
