For the 64-bit 2020 version I tried in vain to find the current location of this file for version 2020  When navigating to Help  gt  Edit Custom Properties a new  empty  file is created at appData Roaming JetBrains IntelliJIdea2020 1 idea properties  There is no  bin directory as some tutorials suggest  However  neither adding the block from the accepted answer to this file nor adding the same file to  bin resulted in an update to my configuration  I finally discovered that a reference to the same property exists in appData Roaming JetBrains IntelliJIdea2020 1 idea64 exe vmoptions  It looks like this  -Didea max intellisense filesize 3470  I changed it to this  which should be adequate for my needs  -Didea max intellisense filesize 9999  This strikes me as a bug in this version where the behavior of the menu item doesn t reflect what s needed  but it may also be the case that my particular setup is somehow different than stock  I do have PyCharm and the JDK installed
