Detaching Editor Tabs

IntelliJ IDEA makes it possible to detach editor tabs, and move them to separate frames.

To detach an editor tab, do one of the following

  • Drag this tab outside of the main window. A preview thumbnail appears:
    detach editor tab
  • Press Shift+F4.
    detach editor tab1

The content of the editor tab opens in a separate frame.

To attach an editor tab

  • drag it from its frame and drop to the main IntelliJ IDEA frame until tab name appears:
