Intellij IDEA hide empty middle folders - intellij-idea

In the project view in Intellij IDEA, there is an option to "hide empty middle packages".
Is there an equivalent for folders? I don't want a sole "src/main/java" to take up 3 lines...

No, there isn't.
But if your folders are getting so long, you can always scroll the project pane to the right :)
It's also possible to use a different view (e.g. Packages) or define bookmarks and favourites to navigate around quickly, plus enable Auto-scroll from source.

Create different theme for different instances of android studio

I will give my use case first. I have two similar android studio projects which needs to be opened always. Now what happens is, I often make changes in wrong project because there is no easy way to identify which project I'm on by simply looking at UI (other than looking at the project name on top- which will go away on full screen). So it would be great if I could use dracula theme on one project and default theme on other. Is there any way to achieve it.
There is a way to change the background color of project pane and recent files window.
Goto Preference -> Appearance & Behavior -> File Colors -> {Add project files and set color}
Got the solution from here
There is the ability to "to define any image as a background".
Set a background image for the current project only, or for any project you open or create anew.
To set a background image
1. Either press:
Shift twice (Searching Everywhere), or
Ctrl+Shift+A (Navigating to Action)
and start typing set back
2. In the dialog box that opens,
Specify:
the image you want to use as the background,
its opacity,
filling and placement options.
Choose to show background in:
the editor and tool windows, or
in the IntelliJ IDEA frame.
Selecting checkbox This project only:
Show background in the current project and ignore this background in the other projects.

Collapse all Folders on directories tab in SmartSVN Foundation

Is there any way to Collapse all folder on the Directories Tab in SmartSVN Foundation 8.0.1?
I Accidentally pressed Ctrl+A (Select All) and ALL THE FOLDERS COLLAPSED!
Now if i want to add a specific folder i need to collapse some or all... or most, but there's no easy way to do it, right now i'm doing it one by one, but the vendor folder (all composer packages) is enormous.
Any ideas?
Seems odd. I've tried to replicate this and have been unable (I'm assuming you're on Windows?) even if I select all and then click the collapse icon on one folder it just collapses that folder.
More than happy to raise a feature request for you if you could give me a bit more detail about what you're after? For example, adding a 'collapse/expand all' and/or a 'collapse/expand selected' option to the View menu that you could set a custom shortcut for in the Edit -> Customize -> Accelerators options?

IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.2 javadoc and tabs

I hate to ask such simple questions, but nothing I found so far helped me...
So, I've recently started using IntelliJ instead of Eclipse and there are 2 things that really bothers me...
1.) size of javadoc popup window - ok, so I finally get this little guy to pop-up whenever I need it, but it's so small I have to use scroll every single time... and that's pretty anoying when I'm working with unknown libraries...
2.) tabs == spaces - maybe some of you like this, but I don't... Eclipse was treating tabs as tabs and not spaces... I tried to change settings but with no result... or is that maybe connected with project I'm working on? (meaning, if, at the start of a project, setting were such that tabs == spaces and now changes are not applied to it)
Sorry for stupid question but, as I said, nothing I found so far helped me...
1) Just resize the window with your mouse. It will retain the size the next time it opens. You can also click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and adjust the font size. Again, it will retain the size on subsequent use.
2) I'm assuming you make the change to the "Use Tab Character" option on the "Tabs and Indents" tab for all file types and saved the Code Style. After that, you need to run the Reformat Code action (Ctrl+Alt+L or Code > Reformat Code from the menu or Reformat Code from the context menu (i.e. right-click) in The Project Tool window or Navigation Bar). IDEA retains the previous formatting (so spaces in this case) until you run a reformat on the project (or a part of it).
If you have multiple projects already created, for each one, you will need to go into File > Settings > [Project Settings] > Code Style and set the Scheme (and then do a reformat). While the Scheme definition is saved IDE wide, the scheme to use is set per project (which makes sense since an Apache Open Source project you are working on may have different code style requirements than the projects you do at work vs the ones you do for fun).
Finally, you will also want to go into File > Other Settings > Default Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Code Style and make sure your saved code style scheme (with the use tab option) is set so that new projects use that scheme when they are created.

How can I prevent IntelliJ IDEA from autocolapsing folders

I use intellIJ. Sometimes I have two packages, A and B, that are nested such that A contains B and nothing else. When this happens then the folder structure on the left displays them like this:
I don't like how it groups A.B together into a single tree node. Is there a setting to prevent IntelliJ from doing this?
(I've googled around a bit and dug through the settings menu and I'm not seeing anything but may'be I've missed it.)
Click on the gear icon on top of the project panel and look for "Compact empty middle packages"

Enabling tabs in xcode? Or lessening the pain of not having them?

I am currently using xcode and I find it's lack of tabs quite disturbing.
I currently use command-shift-d to search through all the files, or ctrl-1 to open the history of files that were recently opened.
It works but I find it less effective than just tabbing through the few files i am currently working on.
Is there any way, third party or not, to enable some sort of tabbed organization?
If not, is there any other way to quickly navigate through a subset of files?
XCode 4 now supports tabs. You can enable by selecting "View / Show Tab Bar" menu.
Not really, but one alternative is View > Show Favorites Bar and drag five or six frequently-used source files into it. Not as flexible as tabs but satisfies your request for "quickly navigate through a subset of files".
The traditional way is to use the detail view. Get the files you want in the Detail view by one of these means:
Put them all in the same group, then select the group
Enter a filter expression in the Search Bubble that narrows the items shown
Define a Smartgroup that includes just the files you want
Get a list of the files as a Find in Project result, then select that item in Find Results
Then you can use the Detail View as your list of interesting files and navigate through it quickly with the up and down arrows.
First of all, you can use Textmate (which I believe has Xcode integration). Otherwise:
Window (Menu) -> Organizer (ctrl-command-o)
At the bottom of that window, if you don't have two panes, click the square to the right of the gear. Now drag code files of interest to the left, grey pane--a single click or arrow up/down will open the file in the editor pane.
If you do open a bunch of windows, as vog suggested, you'll need to command-~ through them--not alt-tab.
Cheers.
The Xcode source code editor allows you to choose the file from a list. It's two clicks instead of one (as it would be with tabbing), but it's better than nothing.
In addition, you can simply Alt-Tab through your open source code windows. This is not slower than tabbing, and has the same effect since the source code windows are usually placed exactly one in front of another.
You'll definitely want to read through this. (XCode Tips and Tricks you wish you know about two years ago - SO)
You can navigate between files using "Recent Files"
Write simple applescript:
tell application "Xcode"
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "1" using {control down} -- open "Related Files"
key code 125 -- choose "Recent Files" ("keystroke down" doesn't work)
keystroke return -- enter to "Recent Files"
key code 125 -- choose previous file
end tell
end tell
And bind it to some shortcut using for example FastScripts(free up to 10 bindings)
I have this script on "Control" + "`". (XCode 4)
Hope this will help
You may also try an Xcode plugin I've just released - it's called Code Pilot and solves a lot of issues of Xcode's navigation, making it more TextMate/Eclipse-like.
Check it out here: http://macoscope.net/en/mac/codepilot/
I hope this helps!
It is simple with XCode 7.2
GoTo View>>Show Tab Bar
This will show the tab bar.
RightClick on the New Tab and click -->"NEW TAB"
Then We can see all the files in tabs.
