Quick question: Does anyone know of a tool to expand star imports in Kotlin? (IntelliJ optimize imports does not do it.)

The formatter should, if you configure it not to use star imports at all

If it's supposed to, where do I file a bug?

Ah sorry, not the formatter, but the optimize imports action should. I just tested it in IDEA and it works fine. What are your code style settings for Kotlin?

If I comment out the star import, it generates non-star imports. But that doesn't always work because of ambiguity.

Strange. Which version of IJ are you using? In my case with IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3 EAP it seems to automatically change `*` imports to their explicit variant.

&gt; Is it maybe a K2 thing?
I have K2 mode enabled. Not sure if it will change something for you

Then maybe open an issue on YouTrack, you'll probably get answers (or questions!) from the right people (although I have the JetBrains tag, I'm not part of the Kotlin team, I'm just a Kotlin user :wink: )

<https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-31340/Optimize-Imports-does-not-replace-star-imports> :crossed_fingers:

If you invoke `Ctrl + Alt + Shift + L`, it presents a dialog - see if you have "optimize imports" checked there. If not, try that. You probably don't have that checked, so the autoformatter doesn't touch existing imports.

One other suggestion that comes to mind is using `.editorconfig` file with the following options:

```[*.kt]
ij_kotlin_name_count_to_use_star_import = 99
ij_kotlin_name_count_to_use_star_import_for_members = 99```
