The situation is when I open some files it isn't added on editor tab(red box).
The file that I double-clicked is located in green box with replacing existing file.
problem on editor tab in intellij
I want to see multiple tabs in editor tab in IntelliJ.
But I can see just only one tab like below.
I try to look around settings - Editor - General - Editor tab. But I couldn't find answer.
I wish I could get a hint here. Thank you.
Click on gear on the right -> view options -> Open in a new tab
I would like the debugger menu (with the step over and step into etc) buttons up in the top menu next to the run/debug/stop buttons. Is there any way to make this happen? I can move then entire debugging pane up top. But that is not what I want. I just want the icons up top like other IDE's have.
this is a different question than How do I move the toolbar in IntelliJ?
I am not asking how to move the existing toolbar, I'm asking how to add the debug buttons to the toolbar up top.
It's not possible at the moment. Feel free to create feature request on YouTrack: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.
2022 UPDATE
It is possible now as JetBrains has added highly-customizable functionality for controlling commands in menus and toolbars.
For Windows/Linux: File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Menus and Toolbars
For Mac: IntelliJ IDEA | Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Menus and Toolbars
Additional info on the IntelliJ website.
How do I disable the menu appearing in the lower lefthand corner of the intellij window?
Is this called the tool menu?
I use hot corners on my macbook and am constantly activating it accidentally.
There is a Registry key for that, you can either add
-Dide.windowSystem.showTooWindowButtonsSwitcher=false
into .vmoptions (Help | Edit Custom VM Options) or you can press Help | Find Action | Registry, Enter (or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+/) and trigger it in the dialog (start typing the key name for the speed search):
This menu can be also disabled by disabling the status bar:
Jetbrains changed the toolbars in IntelliJ 13.
The Navigate Back & Forward arrows, shown here, used to be in the top toolbar and easily clickable.
Now the only way I can find to access these fields is to go to Navigate -> Back or Navigate -> Forward.
Does anyone know of a way to add these back/forward locations into an always visible toolbar like they were located in IntelliJ 12?
For some reason the toolbar is not visible by default.
In the View menu, select Toolbar. That should fix it.
I am using Idea 13 and my toolbar already has these buttons:
The icon groups are:
file | undo/redo | cut/copy/paste | font size | back/forward | compile/run | vcs | config | help | jira | tasks
You should be looking at the back/forward buttons in the 5th group.
If you want to make the toolbar visible, it's one of the checkable options on the view menu.
IntelliJ IDEA 15
Show toolbar
Method 1
View > Toolbar
Method 2
Press Shift 2 times > write "toolbar" and click on the "switch button" to change "OFF" in "ON":
The toolbar already contains the "Back" and "Forward" buttons.
Configure toolbar
Method 1
File > Settings... > Appearance & Behavior > Menus and Toolbars > Main Toolbar > select one row and click on "Add After..." if you want to add a new button (E.g.: if you accidentally removed the Forward button and you want it back)
Method 2
Right click on the toolbar > Customize Menus and Toolbars...
Use the approach that is described in Method 1
To enable toolbar in intellij 2019.3,
Just go to the "View" tab and check-enable "Toolbar"
*be noted that shortcut keys(ctrl+alt+ left/right) are not working
Here is just a reference image, where to find the top right bar in the settings.
(Note: This is PyCharm)
The Conan's answer helped me with the same issue. 2Conan - make your comment as an answer. It helps with TS issue. Just for sure posting his answer here ...
OK, you can do this. Turn the toolbar on, with View > Toolbar. Right click it, and choose Customize Menus and Toolbars. In the Navigation Bar Toolbar folder, add the icons from Main menu > Navigate > Back / Forward, choose OK, then go and turn off the toolbar with View > Toolbar again.
Do you know which is the option to display the left grey bar on code page on VB6 Ide?
It's the bar used to toggle breakpoints for debugging (same effect of f9 but using mouse click)?
It disappeared on my IDE and i can't find the option to take it back.
In Tools | Options..., on the Editor Format tab, re-check Margin Indicator Bar.
