Tab Groups in IDEA 4.0
"You can't see two files at the same time in an IDEA project" has been one of the complaints against IDEA.
Not any more.
IDEA 4.0 (RC1 now) supports the concept of tab groups. A tab group is the tabbed pane that contains the editor pane. Only two tab groups can be created. And a file can be shown in only one tab group.
These menu items manage tab groups in an intuitive manner:
- New Horizontal Tab Group
- New Vertical Tab Group
- Move to Opposite Tab Group
- Change Tab Groups Orientation
