Managing IDE Windows


The IDE's window system is designed to provide a coherent and unobtrusive layout of the various windows you need while enabling you to adjust the layout effortlessly as you work. These are some of the things you can do as you work:

  • Resize windows by clicking on a window border and dragging it to the width or height you prefer.

  • Maximize a window within the IDE by double-clicking on its tab. (You can revert to the previous window layout by again double-clicking on the tab.) You might find this feature particularly useful in the Source Editor.

  • Move a window to a different part of the IDE by clicking on its tab and dragging it to a different part of the IDE.

  • Use drag and drop on a tab in the window to split the window.

  • Make a window "sliding" by clicking its button. When you click this button, the window is minimized, with a button representing that window placed on one of the edges of the IDE. You can mouse over the button to display the window temporarily, or you can click the button to open the window.
