I am about to switch from Eclipse to IntelliJ Idea and I would like to configure IntelliJ to display the same Information as my Eclipse setup. Here is the Tool Window layout I want to achieve:
+----------+-----------------------+
| | |
| Project | Source editor |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+----------+ |
| | |
| Problems | |
| | |
+----------+-----------------------+
It is not supposed to hide when it is focused/unfocused. It simply should sit there for me to look at it.
I read this guide which tells me that the Project and Problems Tool Window have to be in different tab groups to get this working:
To be able to see two windows simultaneously, the corresponding windows should belong to different groups, that is, one of the windows should have the split mode off and the other one on.
I understand that and I am able to get the above layout with the Project and Structure Tool Windows. However, since the Project and Problems Tool Windows happen to be in the same tab group, I can't figure out how to get the requests layout. I guess, I have to move the Problems Tool Window to a separate tab group, but I did not find a way to do so.
Thus, my question is, how can I get the above Tool Window layout, which probably comes down to the question: How can I move the Problems Tool Window to another (a new) tab group?
There is a standalone Problems tool window available. It's activated after you enable the automatic compilation.
Once activated, enable the split mode for the Problems tool window and move it to the left. Also make sure side-by-side layout is not enabled.

I'm looking to get rid off these helper texts. I do not know what they are called so I don't know what setting I need to remove. I'm sure it's just some check box that needs to be unchecked.
What are these called so that I can turn them on and off?
Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Editor | Inlay Hints | Code Vision | Usages.
1st is community version, 2nd is ultimate version.
why the 6. TODO window behave different ?
Is that a ultimate feature? or just I make a different setting ?
the difference is, 1st view is like:
----------------------
project | editor
----------------------
TODO
----------------------
2nd view is like:
----------------------
| editor
project |-----------
| TODO
----------------------
You can configure this:
Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance:
Under section Window Options there is checkbox Widescreen tool window layout:
see more about this option https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/appearance.html#wide
Widescreen tool window layout is OFF:
Widescreen tool window layout is ON:
Maybe do I do something wrong, but I can't open Idea's Quick list. I tried do that on Intellij 12 on Windows and 13, 14 on Linux by assigning shortcut, search action, search everywhere with no luck...
No action when I'm trying open it
First you need to create Quick List in File | Settings | Appearance and Behavior | Quick Lists and then it would appear in File | Settings | Appearance and Behavior | Keymap where you can define a shortcut for it.
I'm relatively new to IntelliJ IDEA and was wondering whether it would be possible to split the Run Window, so that I have multiple Run views visible at the same time. Which would be convenient when running multiple modules concurrently. Currently they show as tabs in the same region, so I have to switch the tab whenever I want to see the other run log.
+---------------------------------+
| |
| Source Code |
| |
+----------------+----------------+
| | |
| Run 1 | Run 2 |
| | |
+----------------+----------------+
Any way to do this?
As far as I know the h/v split feature is available only for editor tabs. There's also a split mode for tool windows but it works only for different windows, not for multiple tabs of the same windows, so basically no you can't, and I can't imagine what was the reason behind this choice.
You have to right-click on the terminal tab choose "Move to Editor".
Then in the editor, you can split editor tabs vertically or horizontally to have more than one terminal in a column or row.
Your answer is discussed (here) as well.
You can't split runs, but you can open build in a terminal and split/stack them in any combination. It's not like a one-click run solution, but can be splited/stacket. Hope somebody found it useful.
Tip: you can copy command from the run tab and paste to the terminal so you don't need to type it.

Having used Eclipse for more years than I care to admit, I'm currently trying to get adjusted to IntelliJ 12 but I'm having a hard time with the totally different UI metaphors/concepts.
I'd like to be able to have a window layout like this:
+--------+------------------------
| | |
| (1) | |
| | |
|+-------+ Source editor |
| | |
| (2) | |
| | |
+--------+-----------------------+
| |
| Console output etc. |
+--------------------------------+
With (1) being the "Project" tool window and (2) being the "Structure" tool window. I tried to follow the instructions given at http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/viewing-modes.html but changing the "Split" mode doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect. Clicking on the "Structure" or "Project" toolbar buttons always hides the current tool window and displays the other one.
Ok. I worked it all out with googling and https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/viewing-modes.html . It's not obvious at all.
In Setting->Appearance & Behavior->Appearance:
Side-by-side layouts on left and right will control whether left and right side splits are horizontal or vertical - you can also Control-click on the divider to switch.
Widescreen tool window layout switches whether vertical or horizontal toolbars get full height/width: on gives full height to side tool windows and off gives full width to bottom(top?).
Ok, by some more or less random combination of the "docked" , "pinned" , "view as tab" and "split mode" modifiers I got it to work. I wonder why they didn't simply implement dragging the window where you'd like it to appear...
I love Intellij IDEA, but every once in a while there is some glitch like this. Anyway, here is a key point that you need to know from this writeup:
To be able to see two windows simultaneously, the corresponding
windows should belong to different groups, that is, one of the windows
should have the split mode off and the other one on
.
My problem was I had split mode ON for both the Project Tool window and the Structure Tool window. If one tool window has that mode OFF, and the other ON, that will help them show together correctly. However, this is NOT guaranteed to work, which negatively impacts usability. I have filed a usability enhancement request with our friends at Intellij. I hope others in my situation will help me vote it up: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-144963
Usually setting split on the structure and toggle the windows method that Trillian mentioned above works.
However for the case where it does not, I've had some success with editing the project's .idea/workspace.xml file directly and replacing the lines (with all settings) for id="Project" and id="Structure" from a project that has the window layout I want them into the project that I can't get the layout working correctly.
First, set the desired two tool windows to be pinned and docked (not floating, not windowed).
Second, the window to be above, set no split mode, the window below, set to split mode.
