In IntelliJ I would like to have "project" and "structure" tool windows side by side horizontally, not vertically. Is this possible?
I found the solution in this question: Switching from Eclipse to IntelliJ: Is there a way to split tool windows?
In short, you need to go in to the File -> Settings -> Appearance and Behavior -> Appearance: and check "Side-by-side layout on the left."
Truly a UI failure on IntelliJ's part; that should very obviously be a checkbox on the tool window UI, not a setting!

Am new to Intellij IDEA. Earlier I used eclipse and Visual Studio.
I want to simultaneously view Project and Structure windows like this:
All I can do currently is this:
So I have Project and Structure windows docked side by side. However I want to dock/stack the vertically, one above other.
Q1. According to this link, I have to keep split mode on for one and off for other to make them stack one above other. However this is not working for me. What I am missing?
Q2. Also is it possible to have tabbed windows like in eclipse:
You are correct that only one should have the "Split Mode" option enabled, but under Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance, you have the "Side-by-side layout on the left" option enabled.
As for the tabs, simply turn off the "Group Tabs" option.
Sounds like you might be running into IDEA-159015 which reports problems with split mode in v2016.2. Although the title of the issue indicates it is in an EAP version, in the comments, people are reporting it against released versions.
In case if tool windows are not appearing at the bottom try this. Go to
Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> Appearance -> Tool Windows(The last one) -> Check the option "Tool Window bars"
Is there a way to make intellij a bit snappier and not animate the tool windows?
It's incredibly slow as it is, and not very useful.
Disable the Appearance & Behavior > Appearance > Animate Windows option in the settings (in IntelliJ IDEA 14). You can also find this option by searching for "animate" in the search box of the settings.
Can someone tell me how to open two or more file editor in eclipse kepler?
In before version like helios it can be open by shortcut ctrl + 8.
Which looks something like this in helios
But in kepler I am not able to do this.
Open your file and then Window -> New Editor
I see that in Kepler this feature hasn't a shortcut binding anymore. You can make this yourself by going to Preferences -> General -> keys and search for "new editor". Then click Binding and press the shortcut you want.
You can achieve this indirectly, like first opening both the files then click on your file header in your editor and just drag towards the right.
Eclipse will automatically creates two seperate views like you have shown.
Window / New Editor opens a second editor. It does not seem to have a default key binding.
When the second editor is open drag the tab to open the windows side by side.
What command is Ctrl + 8 bound to in your workspace ? I've looked at 3.8.2 but can't find it (even though I do vaguely remember doing something like this).
There is a way.
Window -> Editor -> Clone
Drag out window to console and it will divide in two parts ..then put both editor side by side.
Currently my IntelliJ shows amongst other things
How do i decide
What tool windows are shown
Where they are shown
Those things are called Tool Windows, and you can find them at View > Tool Windows.
To disable some of them, you can install the plugin ToolWindow Manager and disable one by one.
You can enable/disable all tool windows in Settings > Appearance > Show tool window bars
You can find more information about them here.
These are called "Tool Windows". If you right click on them it shows a menu that at the bottom has a "Hide" option. I notice some of them can't be hidden, but you can drag them to other places that are out of your view. For example, you can drag them from the bottom to the side. You can also drag to answer your second question.
I have an Eclipse RCP application. I have created an Editor. There are few context menu (default), when I right click on the Editor. I have not created these menus.
Please let me know, How to remove the context menu of the Editor?
It needs different approach by which editor you extends.
Let me know What you extends, than I can answer more efficient one.
In general way:
IWorkbenchParSite#registerContextMenu(...) will be used, So find where calls that, override it. It is not recommend. Because by doing this, Menu Extensions which is contributed for your editor will not work anymore.
If you mean the system menu that appears on editor tabs and view tabs, that menu is provided by the presentation (2.1, Classic, Default, etc). There is no tweak to simply modify it.
The 2 ways to remove it would be:
write your own presentation, using
the
org.eclipse.ui.presentations.StackPresentation
API and matching extension point.
Writing a presentation is a involved
undertaking.
Change the internal classes in the
org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugin
and patch that plugin in your RCP
app.
If you use Text or StyleText you will get the system default menu (cut,copy,paste, maybe something about encoding or input). If you are not going to supply your own menu, simply create an empty SWT Menu and set it:
Menu emptyMenu = new Menu(text);
text.setMenu(emptyMenu);
Eclipse also has a text editing framework, if you need more than a basic text box you should check it out. http://wiki.eclipse.org/The_Official_Eclipse_FAQs#Text_Editors
