Is it possible to share my "preferences" across AS projects? For example, everytime I create a new project I need to disable the 'make private' intention. Other settings like code style, etc, are carried over perfectly fine.

I regularely export my settings and then have the file versioned. I've been doing that for more than a year now and it has been working smoothly across major versions and even when switching between AS and IDEA

Yes 👍🏽 But is that needed when switching between projects locally on the same machine, in the same AS version, etc? It seems to me like many (95%) of the settings are actually carried over; it just misses intentions, the spelling settings, etc.

The settings are preserved across projects and minor version updates. I only have to worry about importing them again when switching major versions or IDEs

I get what you're referring to now. You have a dropdown where you can select where your intentions are stored. I think this dropdown stores the intentions at the project level by default, but you can store them under the "Stored in IDE" group so they'll be preserved across projects:

Thats probably it 🤌🏽 Of course, there are so many different things beyond inspections .. I suppose that not all of them can be globalized, but this gets me 99,9% there so Im happy. Thank you fist bump
