How to add variable pane in intelliJ? - intellij-idea

Does anyone know how to add the variable pane in intelliJ? I closed it by accident I cant find how to re-open it.
This is were it used to be but now I only have the "watches":

Click on the restore layout icon to see watch pane /variable pane and call stack pane.

I do this every now and then, and it always takes me way too long to get it back...see the stack-looking icon toward the top-right corner, under the icon next to settings? That should do it for you.

Show a most recently used tab after dragging a tab in IntelliJ IDEA

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.

How to reopen project viewer in IntelliJ IDEA

I can't figure out how to re-open the tab on the left (solution viewer) in IntelliSense Idea.
Anyone know ?
In the left bottom corner you will find a small icon. You can either move your mouse over it and select Project or click on this icon to toggle the visibility of all tabs (which you can click on to open the corresponding view).
You can also use the shortcut Alt + 1 to toggle the Project View.

Is there a search history in Intellij IDEA?

A feature that I used a lot in Eclipse is the Search History, which remembers searches you performed in the past and gives you quick access to them. I cannot seem to replicate this functionality in IntelliJ - it seems that I have to start a new search each time. Does this feature exist, or does anyone know of a plugin that provides such a feature?
I think what you're looking for is the "Open in new tab" checkbox at the bottom of the "Find in path" dialog. For me by default it was disabled. When you enable it, you will have search results open in separate tabs every time, so accessing historic searches will be much easier.
For recent "Find Usages", open the "Find" window (Cmd 3); click the settings button in the "Find" window toolbar; in the settings dialog check the checkbox "Open in new tab".
Inside 'Find' dock press Alt+Down to see 'Recent Find Usages' dropdown.
Search history intellij alt up or alt down.
For in-file search there is Recent Searches drop down if you press the down arrow key, the same is available for the Find in Path dialog.
Alt+down arrow is what you are looking for...
First press Ctrl+Shift+f and then alt+down arrow
for more info check IntelliJ website:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/searching-everywhere.html#search_all
Using Alt+down works to see previous Finds, but by default only 1 Tab is open.
Of course the setting for opening new Finds in a new Tab can be found in a slightly different place than when the first answer was posted. It can now be found by right-clicking the top bar (or the "Show options menu" gear-icon) -> View Options -> Open Results in New Tab.
Click on the magnifying icon in the find window and you will see it. It is not intutive. I'd expect it to list the previous searches when I click on the text box window.
just when you user find by path, right corner of the search you will find the "open
in find window" there you will see history as shown in the image and you can pin the search history you need . just hit the <- arrow button in the left panel of find window, you would see the history

IntelliJ: After hiding my "Output" sub-panel within the "Debug" panel, how do I get it back?

I'm using IntelliJ 9.0.1. I have the "Debug" panel open. I previously had an "Output" sub-panel within the Debug panel showing the System.out text output of my program. I clicked on the ->| button to hide it, and now I can't get it back. I notice that with the Variables and Watches sub-panels, when I hide them I get an icon on the far right of the Debug toolbar. But I have no icon for the Output panel. I've tried restarting IntelliJ but it doesn't help, nor does closing and reopening the Debug panel.
How can I get my "Output" sub-panel back?
First of all, update to 9.0.3 release, it's free. Then use the Restore Layout button on the left of the Debugger panel.
I discovered I could get it back by clicking on a certain spot in the far right of the "Debug" panel toolbar. It looks like 9.0.1 has a blank icon for the "Output" sub-panel, so you just have to guess where the blank icon is situated and click there.
