I just saw your question from so long ago. Hope you figured it out:) Using IDEs can be tricky at first, and a little overwhelming, but it gets easier. I also recommend to everyone, using the terminal to work with files. It's faster and easier. I keep mine open on the right side of the screen and slide it over whenever I need files, folders, or to move or delete any of them.

If anyone runs to this issue this is the fix.

Right click the com folder in IntelliJ and select Mark Directory as...Source root. Then you should be able to create a class file. Not sure why the project files aren't like the one in the video but that should be fixed. It can be frustrating not being able to advance because of issues like these.
