When I switch between files (Using ctrl-n for examples) in different editors, intellij always opens the file in the original editor the tab for the file is located. Coming from a vim background this seems counter intuitive for me. Is there a way to force intellij to always open the file in the same editor window?

When using Ctrl-Shift-N to open the desired file, Shift-Enter to confirm will maintain the focused tab group.

googled this but didn't have success.
I'm using the horizontal split view of IntelliJ (the view that allow us to have files on the upper and bottom part of the screen).
The problem is that whenever I search for a file using the search for a target feature, instead of opening the already opened file which is located on the upper files' list, it opens again on the bottom list but I'd like it to open the one that's already open on the upper list.
Do you know how to change this behavior?
I created a file named "auth_actions.dart" in a dart project(either angular or not). The file content would have text colour being plain white, without any highlighted.
If I rename it to "auth_action.dart" or "auth_actionss.dart", the highlight will come back.
I did some experiments even from some random projects downloaded from github, all of them had this issue.
Anyone know how to fix it? Does anyone see the same issue using the name "auth_actions.dart"?
I assume you accidentally added the file to
Preferences > Editor > File Types > Recognized File Types > Text
Remove it from Registered Patterns to get hightlighting again.
You could accidentally mark it as plain text (the option is in the right-click menu). In this case, the option to mark it back as a Dart file is also in the context menu.
I'm trying to switch to Atom as my programming editor so that I can gain handy features like linting for Perl, JavaScript, etc. However, over the last two decades, I've used a string of editors (UltraEdit, jEdit, BBEdit) that allowed me to add individual files from different folders into projects. My main coding project actually spans several remote SFTP servers and the "folders" in my BBEdit project do not necessarily correspond to any file structure on disk.
I cannot seem to figure out how to set up a project in this manner in Atom (or similar editors such as Brackets). Is there a way to configure Atom and its extensions to produce a result similar to an UltraEdit/jEdit/BBEdit/Komodo project? I thought about creating a new project directory and symlinking to the real files, but that seems like a hack at best.
I belive its File > Open Project or something like that. I personally like Sublime Text 3 but Atom and Sublime are the same.
The best solution I have found so far would be to install opened-files package. By default it persists all files you have opened (even after you close them) until you close atom editor. I don't think it would work well for bigger projects as it lists all the files under one tab in tree view.
If you want to persist open files you might want to use project-manager package. To keep files listed under 'Opened files' tab after you close them (and atom), you need to press bookmark icon next to tab name. Once you add the project it auto-saves file structure when you close atom. To add project to project-manager write project-manager save in command palette. To list all projects from project manager press shift-alt-P.

Hi can anyone recommend a good, and ideally free editor that will allow me to group opened files based on a module or component I'm working on?
I'm learning joomla so I need one with php,JavaScript,HTML.
I'm currently using dreamweaver. It's great but I hate having to traverse through the file tabs which are usually hidden because I have so many files opened at once. I would ideally want something that will allow me to group these opened files almost like a folder structure where I can create a category for grouping the opened files together so as keep things that are related to one another close by.
Failing this please recommend what is the best approach when dealing with lots and lots of opened files.
I like how browser works because it allows me to open multiple instances and let me group the sites I want via tabs to each browser instance. Dreamweaver won't allow more than one instance. Is there anything out there that can do this?
UltraEdit gives tab a different color depending on the filetype - CSS are green, Javascript are orange, etc. I find this very useful. It also allows the tabs to spill over to several rows, instead of forcing them to one line like Dreamweaver.
If you do have to use Dreamweaver, you can use the file directory panel to traverse the folders on your hard disk. Double-click on a file in a subdirectory to open it, or switch to its tab if it is already open. The file directory panel is on the top-right by default, I think.
