Splitting helps create different editor layouts, organize tabs into groups, and edit multiple files at the same time. Each pane can be positioned vertically or horizontally: You can split the editor window into as many panes as you need, each one containing one or more tabs. Splitting the editor window divides it into individual panes.

Splitting and Unsplitting editor windows.

You can also move editor tabs between split panes. To attach an editor tab, drag it from its frame and drop into the main IDE frame until the tab name appears: The contents of the editor tab is opened in a separate frame. To detach an editor tab, drag it outside of the main window. In case you need more space for editing your source code, PhpStorm and other IntelliJ Platform IDEs make it possible to detach editor tabs, and move them to separate frames. To pin an editor tab, switch to it, right-click it and choose Pin Active Tab from the context menu. It’s very convenient to pin the tab you often go back to so it’s not closed accidentally: A special round ‘tack’ symbol appears when the tab is pinned. Also, when you close editor tabs, you have an option to keep pinned tabs opened and close only the unpinned tabs. When you pin a tab, you make sure it won’t be automatically closed when the editor starts closing tabs because of tab limitations.

On a Mac OS X computer, you can also use the three-finger right-to-left and left-to-right swipe gestures. You can also use Navigate | Last Edit Location ( Ctrl+Shift+Backspace / Cmd Shift Backspace) to get back to the last place you were editing. It’s most useful when you need to get back to the line you were editing before navigating to an implementation/declaration/usage/etc. This approach lets you move back and forth through your navigation history. On the main toolbar, click back / forward arrows choose Navigate | Back / Forward in the main menu or press Ctrl+Alt+Left / Cmd Alt Left or Ctrl+Alt+Right / Cmd Alt Right. Going back and forth through the history of edited files.Every file/tab you switch to remembers the position of the cursor, so you can resume editing exactly where you left off. Here’s an even more convenient way to jump to any recently opened file: bring up the Recent Files window with Ctrl+E / Cmd E and just type the name of the file you want to navigate to. Invoke switcher with hotkey Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

The file being edited right now is highlighted.

Invoke Switcher to see a list of recently opened files and switch between them easily.

The focus will move to the next editor tab to the right / to the left of the active one. Right-click the current editor tab and choose Select Next/Previous Tab from the context menu, or press Alt+Right / Control Right (Cmd Shift ]) or Alt+Left / Control Left (Cmd Shift [), respectively. This functionality is available in IntelliJ Idea, P圜harm, WebStorm, PhpStorm, RubyMine, and AppCode. Luckily, smart tab management and a few navigation techniques go a long way toward helping you find your way around opened files quickly and efficiently.

The challenge, however, is not to get lost in zillions of editor tabs opened for each file in the editor pane.

Working with multiple files in the editor is par for the course.
