My text file is 1.58G, my IntelliJ custom VM options is set as "-Xmx4G". Why does it shows
"The file is too large; 1.58G. Showing a read-only of the first 2.56M".

idea.properties file contains the default limits for the files IntelliJ IDEA can handle:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Maximum file size (kilobytes) IDE should provide code assistance for.
# The larger file is the slower its editor works and higher overall system memory requirements are
# if code assistance is enabled. Remove this property or set to very large number if you need
# code assistance for any files available regardless their size.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=2500
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Maximum file size (kilobytes) IDE is able to open.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.max.content.load.filesize=20000
These can be changed using Help | Edit Custom Properties.

What does this mean? "The file size (35B) exceeds configured limit (1734967296B). Code insight features are not available" – user697911 Aug 15 '17 at 17:34

I have these two: idea.max.intellisense.filesize=2500000 & idea.max.content.load.filesize=2000000 – user697911 Aug 15 '17 at 17:35

1Try `idea.max.content.load.filesize=0` to use the max possible value. – CrazyCoder Aug 15 '17 at 21:58

Do you need to restart IDEA after updating these? – MattG Mar 12 '20 at 05:58
