I have several files open in a split view in the intelliJ IDEA. Is there a way to save this setup (ie: which files are open and witch side of the split view they are on)?
I am hoping to work on some other aspects of the program for now, but will need to return to this view/setup periodically.
I have looked under Window | Editor Tabs but could not find anything there.
As pointed out by CrazyCoder in the comments, this feature does not yet exist in intelliJ. There is a related feature request here:

The main.tex file in my project is the one to be opened in editor view in order to successfully compile the pdf-document. It has several child-files like e.g. content.tex where I write the actual thesis text.
Every time I want to compile the document in order to view the changes I have to change the editor-file to main.tex. Otherwise the process ends with errors.
I already tried the Ctrl+0 base file setting, but it did not show any changes.
The LaTeX project is based on a template provided by my university and though has to stay untouched in regards of the project structure itself (why so ever...).
I managed to do as I strived to. Don't know whether I'd just been too clumsy or if it relates to the problems I faced during the \input{...} integration, but if anyone wonders how to do so too:
It in fact has been the way I already tried - set the main-document to master-document.
Nevertheless I switched to use TexStudio meanwhile.
Thank you for your response #Gowachin
I could swear that this wasn't the behavior on an older version. Is there any way to make it so the File... action only displays actual files, and not directories? It's incredibly frustrating to have to always be suggested a directory first instead of a file, since (in my opinion) jumping to a directory is totally useless - all it does is scroll you in the folder/projects view to that directory..
Edit: IntelliJ version is: IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3.2, Build #IU-173.4127.27.
As explained in comments on the Youtrack issue I opened, this is now intended behavior due to the directory being a better match than the file (case sensitivity).
This is resolved for me with these possible solutions:
Use Navigate > Class instead, as suggested by glytching. Works well for most purposes since it handles many languages just fine.
Type a . to ignore directories. This, for me, is easier to incorporate into muscle memory than hitting Shift to capitalize or hitting Up/Down to scroll around the list of suggestions.
I have a distributed project and I need debug two nodes of my app on the same time. For this I wish open two instances of Intellij, it is possible ?
just open each one from different folder level.
For example: Project A has 2 folders (one inside another) and inside the 2nd folder there is code. Then open one instance from folder 1 and another instance from folder 2.
Open each instance by choosing open in new window..simple.
There is this topic about starting two instances of IntelliJ Start two instances of IntelliJ IDE
It is not possible with one instance from my experience
Just for new people who navigate here. You could just drag & drop the code you want outside android studio.
I found this really helpfull:
You can split the editor view vertically/horizontally, this will
display the same file in both splits, then you can drag one of the
tabs outside of the IDE to create a float editor window.
Another way to open multiple editors for the same file is to select
the file in the Project view and press Shift+Enter.

I don't think so. One easy thing you can do is open two different major versions at the same time (e.g. 2015 and 2016) or if you have Ultimate edition, you can also install community edition and have both of those open at the same time. Or if you're using community edition, you could install a trail of ultimate just this one time :)
Of course the downside to the second approach is that you may not have some plugins you need for your project.
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 use ctags with my Vim and I rely heavily on C-] and C-T to tag back and froth between various functions in my project.
But if the function is in a different file, I'd like Vim to automatically open it in a new tab instead of the current tab. If I pop my tag stack using the C-T, I'd like it go back to the original tab where I pressed by C-] instead of changing the file in the current tab. I don't like to have the same file opened in multiple tabs in Vim. This is the normal behavior for most IDEs and I am wondering if there is a way to do this in Vim?
nmap <C-Enter> <C-w><C-]><C-w>T
Does this help ? You could probably figure out something similar for the way back.
Well, we need to decide what would be the wanted behaviour. We can go back to the original tab (not sure how, still investigating) but then the above given mapping is gonna open a new tab next time. So you'll end up with a lot of tabs after a while.
Or we can do <C-w>C, which will close the opened tab and take us back to the original one. I, personally, prefer this way of working (that way I don't lose my position in the file)
I go to the function I want, make my corrections there then return to the original file from which I started.
Let me know, what would you like (this didn't fit in comments so I put the answer here).
This might point you in the right direction:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Open_every_buffer_in_its_own_tabpage
So, this is a feature I would like to see as well.
I'm not sure if it's possible.
What I usually do is
:tabnew
:tag somepartsoffunction*
and press tab to use globbing to easily find tag.
Sure, it's not an ideal solution, but it works most of the time.
Unfortunately, with VIM tabbing isn't totally integrated since it's a new feature since 7.0. Most people I know that use VIM weren't even aware of tabs until I told them, so with that, I have a feeling there is no way to do it right now.
(I would love to be proven wrong)
