I can't really point my finger on what version this changed, yet the problem is consistent, maybe i'm missing a shortcut to fix this, so I thought to post this here.
In project window, when I have a folder open, and then any subfolders open (no matter which depth), when I close the folder, it used to close all subfolders. It just doesn't anymore.
Any idea how to fix this? Or is this an issue that should be tracked?
Thanks,
Bud
Please follow IDEA-186081 for updates.
Try enabling async.project.view.collapse.tree.path.recursively Registry key (Help | Find action, type Registry... to locate it) - does it help?

When editing a CSV file in PhpStorm, I enabled "Edit as Table" and can not find how to close this mode. I do not know how to close the "Data" tab.
Help me please!
Linux Mint, Phpstorm v.2018.1.6
The "Edit as Table" creates a split pane. Assuming you dont have any other panes open, you can close them all by:
ctrl+shift+a
Search for Unsplit all
Ta-da
While still destructive (if you use multiple panes), it doesnt go full scorched earth policy like #jocull recommends.
I had a similar issue in WebStorm and reached this thread. After painful searching I found these buttons to toggle between views in the bottom left:
I looked all over but couldn't find a way to do this. In the end it was bugging me so much that I just dropped the Jetbrains/IntelliJ project files and recreated them. This is a very heavy hammer for this problem.
If you have a Git repository this is usually as simple as...
Close your project if it is open
git clean -idx and select the project files to remove (carefully, if you have stuff you don't want to clean out! this deletes things!)
Reopen the project and let it regenerate the project files from scratch
Tada! No more table editor mode. You may lose debugging profiles or other project specific settings, and YYMV :)
I am having a problem with Intellij 13 when merging conflicts. When I apply my last merge change, Intellij tries to show me the "Save and finish" dialog, but apparently the merge window remains above that one (which loses its focus). At that point I cannot click on any part of Intellij and I have to kill the process.
I remember reading something about this and a change to idea.properties was the solution proposed, but I cannot find that discussion again.
Is there anyone who has a solution for this or remember the right property to add to idea.properties?
Thanks!
I was actually able to find it.
On a mac you need to add this property to the idea.properties file:
ide.mac.message.dialogs.as.sheets=false
And the problem disappear.
Thanks!

In vim I can type :e and reload a file's contents from disk overwriting any changes I've made. It's a nice way to reset in case I've gotten lost or just want to undo all my changes. This obviously doesn't take into account any kind of refactoring, I just want to nuke all changes to buffer. Not even closing and reopening a tab will work.
How do I do this with Intellij IDEA? I'm using Intellij IDEA Ultimate 13 and I've disabled any kind of auto save.
File > Synchronize (Ctrl+Alt+Y)
It will load the file from the file system. If you have unsaved changes, it will ask if you want to discard them.
⌥⌘Y - Synchronize for Mac users
What I do in a similar situation:
Simple - Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+Z many times to quickly navigate the editing history
VCS rollback - either for the whole file or for the area being edited (by clicking green areas on the left)
Local History. Well, yes, for you case it's granularity is not sufficient, so first might be an option
There is also an option to put a label into Local History if you need to rollback to a specific point in time.
For those who use autosave - it is being triggered when code editor loses focus. So doing Alt-Tab during long editing without compiling or running the code makes sense.
Open the file in another editor, make an insignificant change and save it. PHPStorm will ask you what to do because the file system and in memory copies of the file have diverged. Click "Load File System Changes".
Note, I was unable to use my undo history as it had become corrupt.
Since what I want isn't really possible I wrote an extension to do it for me:
https://github.com/btipling/DiskRead/
I'll add it to the Jetbrains plugin repository, it's called "DiskRead".
I wrote a blog post about how I created this if anyone is curious.
I'm sure there is a simple option for this but I have as yet been unable to find it. Every time I close and reopen Aptana Studio 3 it collapses all the folders in the project explorer and I have to reopen them all, is there a way to get it to leave them open and save the project explorer's state when I close the program?
Thanks.
I cannot find any way to keep the state of the Project Explorer. However, using the App Explorer, the state of your open folder will be preserved. You can also try the "Navigator" which looks just like the Project Explorer, but appears to keep state. I will add the proviso to that: It kept state when I restarted aptana, but it also developed a GUI glitch where it appears to be scrolled to the right so I only see the right half of all of my file names and I cannot fix it, so this may not be a good option if you get the same glitch.
There is also a method which does not do quite what you ask, but may be a good fix for you anyway. If you click "Link with Editor" picture (two yellow arrows) in the Project Editor, it will automatically expand your project hierarchy to match whichever open file you have active. Since your files stay open when you close Aptana, this would keep the Project Explorer expanded to whatever you are looking at even on restart. See this question
You can also set up working sets for various parts of your code that are buried in the hierarchy and use the Project Explorer to show those working sets instead of you projects. This does not save state, but it does give you easy access to common parts of your code that may be deeply buried.
Hope one of these helps you.
I created some dummy projects. Now I don't see any way to delete the projects that I don't want. Per this suggestion I can delete files, the project is going away but there is traces of it still available. For example, on the Recent Projects you can still see the name of the project you just deleted. So I am thinking there should be another (and really easy way) to delete a project.
Press the Del (or fn and delete) key to delete a project from the Recent Projects list.
Vote for this issue to make it more obvious and user friendly.
close project first, or until this dialog appear, then hover your mouse on project you want to delete from history, then press Del
you'll be asked for confirmation
On occasion, even with deletion of the project, some tidbits are left behind in the following Windows paths:
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\compiler
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\compile-server
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\frameworks\detection
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\conversion
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\componentVersions
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\tasks
This has been proven to be problematic - for example, if a new project is created using a previously deleted project name, it will create the project with data stored in the above paths, at least, this has been my experience.
The only way to TRULY delete the project is to get rid of all the garbage left behind in the aforementioned folders. I would suggest using Search Everything to find more tidbits left in the users temp folders.
In case your project is imported as a module, you can also go to File --> Project Structure and click 'Modules' in the left section. Now you can hit the minus button to remote the module from the project.
You can also click File -> Open project ...
When a file menu appears, you can right click the unwanted project folder and select Delete.
Just figured, I am using Idea Community edition 13.1.1 and the cleanest and easiest way is to go to File > Reopen project > Clear List. I just stumbled upon this menu today. I always thought that is just to clear the latest projects from the view inside the IDE and just realized it is clearing the projects from the main Dialog too.

Also, in IDEA 13.x.x you can go File-> Close Project and you'll land in the window with Recent Projects tab. There pressing Del of Fn + Del on selected project helps .
On OSX Mountain Lion and IDEA 14, with the project open and focused, you can go to file -> close project, then delete the project from your filesystem. This removed all references to the project.
Note that if the project you are deleting is the only project open, closing it will show the welcome dialog, which will still show the project. Deleting the project manually from within your operating system is the next step, and the project will still appear in the welcome dialog until it is closed and shown again, usually by opening another project from the list, or quitting and restarting IDEA.
In my case, I had to delete home/.IntelliJIdea2017.2/config/options/recentProjects.xml
. In my file system (Ubuntu) this file appeared for some weird reason not writable and hold a list of projects I couldn't get rid of. Deleting this file and restarting will force Intellij IDEA to create a new one with an empty list of projects.
All you have to do is go to file - close project - to avoid seeing them again in the menu list and then you delete them from the projects directory.
