A quick list is a popup that contains a custom set of IntelliJ IDEA actions. Think of it as a custom menu or toolbar, for which you can assign a shortcut for quick access. You can create as many quick lists as necessary. Each action in a quick list is identified by a number from 0 through 9.

Use this page to configure quick lists with custom sets of IntelliJ IDEA actions. For more information about what quick lists are, how to create them, and how to assign shortcuts to them, see [Quick lists with your
favorite actions](customize-actions-menus-and-toolbars.html#configure_quick_lists).
