I am experimenting with switching from Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA. So far, so good. However, Eclipse enables me to configure my workspace whatever way I want, and I am having a lot of trouble configuring even the most basic things in IntelliJ.
In a specific case, I want the debugging view to be on top, and I want the project explorer tree on the left taking the whole height. This is what I want, which I can easily do in Eclipse:
In Jetbrain's IntelliJ IDEA I can only achieve this:
Which is obviously awful. I don't need the event log to take the whole width, and I don't need the debugger to take the whole width either. I want the project explorer on the left taking the whole space, and then whatever is left be used by tools on the top and on the bottom.
I confess I'm a bit confused with all the "modes".. split, docked, whatever. I cannot drag things to where I need them, it seems.
Is this even possible? If so, how can I configure that?
Found it.
It's under Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance
Select the "Widescreen tool window layout" option.
It could definitely just be drag and drop like Eclipse, though. This is really hidden.
