I accidentally used 'vertical split' and 'horizontal split' in the Spyder editor (View->Window Layouts->Vertical split DON'T CLICK THIS!), now there is no way for me to go back. Does anyone know how to unsplit windows in Spyder?
Never mind, I found the answer when looking at the keyboard shortcuts (as that's how I accidentally split the screen the first way): alt+shift+W
I was having trouble with an older version of Spyder v4 on Mac, and I got it to work by updating to Spyder v4.2.1, right-clicking on the tabs in the panel I wanted to close, and then clicking "Close this panel" closed the split panel.
I download the Stack Windows Manager from Microsoft store. Someone introduced it to me and said it is a great program.
Oddly, after installing it and setting it up, I cannot find out how to start using it? There is no instruction to show me how to at least organize my desktop into this "layout tool". Is there a video anywhere?
At the first launch on each screen it shows you a few layouts to select from.
After you made the selection, either use Win+Arrow keys to move windows around, or drag windows between areas with middle mouse button (usually it is also the scroll button).
I have a lot of files to keep open, and the current single line of tabs is just difficult. I see that GExperts and CNPack does not have that (unless I missed that).
Is there any trick to achieve that, or any other suggestion that I could have more tabs visible?
The TIDEGradientTabSet (if it's still used in modern Delphi) doesn't support multiline view, so the only option for those IDE experts could be making own tab set control hiding the original one.
Alternatives are:
On the far right of the tabs is a small down arrow. Press that, and you'll see a list of all the files that are open in the editor;
Pressing Ctrl+B will open up a dialog to select a tab;
TMS has a free tool AltTab but it did not get update for while. That was exactly what was needed for Delphi IDE;
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 restore the pane back to its previous size exposing the other panes.
Is it possible to perform the equivalent in IntelliJ IDEA?
To clarify, I'm asking about hiding all other tool panes to show only the editor pane. I'm not asking how to go to distraction-free mode, because this is mode is completely "full screen", hiding all toolbars, window decorations, etc.
The closest thing would be to hide all tool windows by invoking the Hide All Tool Windows action. The shortcut for that is Ctrl + Shift + F12 (Default keymap).
This will hide all tool windows, effectively maximizing the editor window (though not full screen). The IntelliJ menu bar, toolbar, breadcrumb and tab bar will still be visible.
I'm using IntelliJ 11.1.2 on Kubuntu 12.04 LTS with the Default keymap.
14.0.3 on MacOS X
It's Cmd + Shift + F12 in IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.3 on MacOS X.
UPDATE on 2015-03-24:
IntelliJ IDEA 14.1 now has support for Distraction Free Mode. You can invoke it by clicking View > Enter Distraction Free Mode. In this mode, IntelliJ hides everything but the menu. For more details, follow their video detailing the new feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVwE8MFgYig.
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"
You can double click anywhere on the tab title bar of the editor pane.
All answers work for only hiding other tools. If you have more than one editor pane and you want to maximize only one editor pane (hide all tolls and hide all other editor panes), it is not possible right now.
PyCharm version: 2018.2.7
I use Ctrl-Shift-F12("Hide All Windows") toggle between maximum and normal modes of the editor.
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.
I just assigned ^M(ctrl+M) to Main menu | Window | Active Tool Window | Hide All Tool Windows under preferences(by clicking cmd,). This worked for me exactly like eclipse.
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.
This has already been answered, but since when I google "android studio maximize tab" this is the first answer I see, I'm going to add my two cents.
I hate the keyboard shortcuts since, at any given time, I have 1 hand on my keyboard and 1 hand on my mouse. Having to let go of my mouse to hit a 3-key combination to maximize the current tab is not a shortcut. What I was looking for was an Eclipse-style behavior: double-click the tab to maximize. Here's how to do that:
In Android Studio, under Preferences, go to Keymap->Main Menu->Window->Active Tool Window. Right-click the "Maximize tool window" mapping and select "Add mouse shortcut."
For "Click Count" pick "Double Click" and then double-click on the "Click Pad" mouse icon.
Click OK out of the menus and you should now be able to double-click on any tab and it will be maximized. Double-clicking again will minimize it.
Coming from Eclipse to IntelliJ, this was one of the most frustrating aspects I've had to deal with.
full screen plugin is availble for IntelliJ Idea...

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.
This is quite an old question and the distraction free mode wasn't exactly what I wanted. This is because it does not hide other editor windows. With 2021.1 EAP this issue has been resolved and maximising the editor hides all other editors but the active one.
For people using IdeaVim trying to emulate the <leader> z behavior of tmux, you can use the following mapping:
map <leader>zz <Action>(MaximizeEditorInSplit)
I searched for something like ctrl+b zin tmux. For me, the similar task solved by key combination shift+f4. It opens your tab in the separated window (which can be closed as usual, alt+f4). My PyCharm version:

I've a TListBox on a Windows form with 966 elements in it. When I click a button on my form, a subset of these strings are selected (roughly 200 of them).
If I now unfocus my application by clicking somewhere on the task bar, the entries from my TListBox bleed upward, so as they are visible above the boundaries of the TListBox. They are thankfully bleeding out behind the TGroupBox component which is directly above them - however this still looks extrememly unpolished.
I'm able to reproduce this only on one Win 7 x64 machine using the Aero theme (I've another Win 7 x64 laptop which doesn't exhibit the same problem with the same theme setting).
I've tried issuing a PostMessage( Self.Handle, WM_PAINT, 0, 0) directly after changing the select status, preceded by a ListBox.Refresh. This doesn't help.
Any help would be much appreciated. Please advise if you need more details.
Cheers, Duncan
Are you using the XPManifest unit, or have you enabled themes for your app? If so, try not using it to see what happens. It can be very bad if you dont have a good video card.
My 2 cents? Avoid using themes at all. It simple does not work very well.
