How can I maximize the editor pane in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

In Eclipse, I can type Ctrl+M or click the maximize icon in the editor pane to make the editor pane take up the entire Eclipse window, and then again to re

Answer 1

Using IntelliJ 14.1.5

If you want to maximize the editor window AND full-screen the app, you can create a macro with the following two commands:

Toggle Full Screen Mode
Hide All Tool Windows

And then assign a hotkey to the macro. Here's how I did this:

• File > Settings > Keymap
• Use the search bar to search for the two commands above. Assign obscure hotkeys to those.
• Edit > Macros > Start macro recording
• Hit the two obscure hotkeys you just assigned: this should max the editor and full-screen the app
• Stop recording. Name the macro
• Open File > Settings > Keymap again. Find the Macros section, find your macro, assign a nice hotkey to it.

Answer 2

If you want to maximize a pane , select that pane (by clicking inside or on its title bar) and then use the shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+Quotes"

Answer 3

I use Ctrl-Shift-F12("Hide All Windows") toggle between maximum and normal modes of the editor.

Answer 4

something similar can be achieved by opening your tab in a new window.

The default hotkey for that is shift+f4.

the editor tab remains in the main app window as well, and the new window appears on top of the main app window.

If you need to use the same shortcut like Eclipse Ctrl+M, to minimize/maximize the active editor window,
You can follow the below steps:

• Open (File > Settings...) or click ( Ctrl+Alt+s )
• Select Keymap
• Search for "Hide All Tool Windows"
• Change the default shortcut to Ctrl+M

Then you will be able to use the same shortcut as Eclipse.
