I have some beginner questions:
1.) How can I save all ide settings for restoring on a different computer?
2.) Is there no separate indent setting besides the TAB setting?
3.) Why I cannot assign a shortkey for setting breakpoints?
4.) No "find in project files" or "grep" or similar?

1.) How can I save all ide settings for restoring on a different computer?

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=1]File > Export > General > Preferences[/SIZE][/FONT] will allow you to share settings such as your customised keyboard shortcuts, formatting, repository settings, etc.

Then use [FONT=Courier New][SIZE=1]File > Import > General > Preferences[/SIZE][/FONT] to pull into your other computer/workspace.

You can insert spaces for tabs, if that is what you mean. See:

[SIZE=1][B][FONT=Courier New]Ctrl-Shift-B [/FONT][/B][/SIZE]?

For more, and to potentially changes shortcuts, take a look at:
[B][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=1]Menu->Window->Preferences->General->Keys[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]

4.) No "find in project files" or "grep" or similar?

Have you tried using the "Search" option on the main menu bar?

Thank you - solved almost everything except the toggle breakpoint issue. Have no idea why my assignment is not working, but is not important.
