In IntelliJ IDEA, I want to show a most recently used tab after dragging a tab like eclipse. For example,
a.java
b.java
c.java(Current)
...
d.java(Previous) -- hidden by dropdown
In case 'c.java' was dragged, the editor shows 'a.java' instead of 'd.java'.
I want it to behave same as 'Activate most recently opened' setting for closing tabs. But it doesn't work for dragging in case the previous tab is hidden by a dropdown menu. Is there any setting for it?
No, there is no setting for it.

For every file type it is possible to press the button at the end of the bottom bar and change to tabs in the popup but the popup for Markdown does not show an option to use tab character, even though the buttons says "Configure Indents".
How can I use tabs for Markdown without having to do "CTRL+SHIFT+A -> To Tabs" after every time I've finished writing?
Solved in 2020.3 (currently early access).

I am using Intellij Idea 2017.2.4 and two buttons on the bottom toolbar have disappeared. The two buttons are "Run" (Alt+4) and "Debug" (Alt+5). I can find them in the pop-up menu in the bottom left corner of Idea either and pressing Alt+4 and Alt+5 doesn't work even though the default keymap setup has not been changed.
Is there a way to get them back without having to reinstall Idea?
It looks like they re-appear on the bottom toolbar and in the pop-up menu when I right-click a file and select either run or debug. The key bindings work again as well.
My current file is ServletConfig, but it can't show on the top of the tabs when there are many tabs.
By default, the IDE adds new tabs to the right of active tabs. If the space exceeds the screen width, new tabs collapses behind the "show all"-button. This is the behavior you're expecting. New Tabs just collapses behind the "show all".
You have two options, disable the collapse-mechanism (eventually resulting in tiny tab headers that are not useful as well) or close least used tabs automatically. There is no "always show last opened Tab".
Check the Editor-Tab Documentation to check if a setting fits your need.
By default, currently opened editor window is indicated via underscoring its name on the editor window navigation tab on tap in IntelliJ (or WebStorm).
How can I change indication style from underscoring to something else, for example highlighting the current tab, etc. ?
P.S. I am talking about changing indication styling of the place in red eclipse in the pic.
Say I have a Java class, and navigate to another method by CTRL + CLICK .. The new file opens, in a tab that is positioned to left of the current one. Why? It should open to the right.
Is this a bug? It goes against any other known ways of opening new tabs, like Chrome, Firefox, etc. Is it possible to alter this behaviour?
I would like it to open the tab either at the right side of the current tab, or at the end of the right side.
If you want to open a new tab at the end of the right side, now IntelliJ IDEA (mine is version 2017.2.4) offers you the option.
Right click at the tab bar and select "Open New Tabs At The End" option.
UPDATE (November 2019)
If you want new editor tabs to be opened at the end, the latest IntelliJ IDEA versions have the dedicated option "Open new tabs at the end" for that in the settings:
Settings > Editor > General > Editor Tabs
Screenshot taken from IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2.4 (Ultimate Edition)
This behavior is by design, otherwise if you follow the link in the editor and the new tab opens on the right, after closing this new tab you will be navigated to yet another editor tab on the right instead of returning to the tab from where you started.
This breaks the workflow when you navigate with opening a new tab and want to return back by closing the new tab. It was decided to open new tabs on the left when Activate right neighbouring tab option is enabled.
If you don't like this behavior or want to suggest a better solution, welcome to YouTrack.
