How do you merge all your open windows in IntelliJ?

I noticed this was asked in a similar question a couple years ago: How do you combine two tabs into one floating window in Intellij?

But I don't see anywhere that this has been implemented in a current version of IntelliJ (I have a very recent version - 14.0.1)

Is this still a feature that doesn't exist?

i dont have a merge option in the window menu like in other apps, but there's a workaround: open a project -> fullscreen -> open another project -> choose open in new window (while intellij is in fullscreen) -> voila! tabs

In IDEA 2022.2 was added new function

On macOS, you can merge all opened project windows into one, turning them into tabs.

Make sure that there are several IntelliJ IDEA projects opened in separate windows.

  1. From the main menu, select Window | Merge All Project Windows.

  2. Drag a project's tab to work with the project in a separate window again.

A simple solution to this would be to go to: Window -> Merge All Project Windows

I was having exactly the same problem (on macOS) with drag & drop.

I found this old post, also this JetBrains KB article about IntelliJ in general, going through its features.

Seeing the animated GIF under Editor Tabs -> Split Editor Window It forced me into experimenting.

I found out on macOS, that you need to be holding (while dragging) a modifier key, in my case Option ⌥ key. And then the drag & drop feature for Editor's TAB in any windows started to work like a magic.

If you make your current window fullscreen and then open another folder it would stay combined.

As of IntelliJ IDEA version 14.1, combining multiple floating toolwindows into one toolwindow with multiple tabs is still a feature that does not exist.

Floating editor windows can be combined into a single window by drag&drop.
