Here my eclipse window. I want to save all these space in order to gain vertical visibility (for my text editor). And I am unable to find the way to do it.
I'm pretty sure you cannot disable either status bar nor toolbar. There is kind of solution though:
You can open a file and drag its tab with file name outside of eclipse window so it is detached from the main eclipse window. Then you can maximize this window and look on the code in kind of full-screen mode.

I don't know if this is the right place for it. Using Eclipse 4.6.2 on OSX, in the Java view, I used to have a bar on the bottom with Problems, Tasks, Console, Properties, etc. tab options. This bar is now small icons on the right. It appears on the bottom when I click on the right bar, but it disappears as soon as I click on any editing tab outside of it. Clicking and dragging the bar to the bottom doesn't have any effect. It has a restore-window style icon that doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm also finding that when I select a .java file, like in Problems or Call Hierarchy, it shows up on the bottom, when it used to pop up above the bottom section.
I've always gotten really confused whenever I've tried to mess with the default views/perspectives in Eclipse. I probably made this happen by mistake. I want to revert to the original behavior, but I'm not sure how. Any advice?
On the top there should be a "window" menu bar. If you look in the window bar you should get a "reset perspective" option.
Is there any keyboard short cut in netbeans for toggling between project panel.
For example if I'm working on a laptop and sometime I need for space for see the code window and always I have to click on the project's panel to hide it.
Is there any way I can quickly hide and show that left side thing?
You can use Shift + ESCAPE to maximize the current window (e.g. the code editor).
Alternatively, right click on the editor's tab for the current file and choose "Maximize"
you can use shift+esc to hide or show your project panel.
my Eclipse Juno SR1 somehow got screwed up. It seems I have a new area, and if I interpret it correctly, it is called the "Shared Area" (only from a tooltip). I cannot get rid of it by conventional means (i.E. closing/hiding). All files I open now are opened in this shared area, not in the area my files were opened before. The area is distinct from the normal editing area in that it will not go to the same place (top right, under the menus).
The area has only maximize and minimize buttons. Maximizing it will maximize it over everything, this would be expected. Minimizing it actually hides it, but opening an existing file will bring it back as kind of a popup over the eclipse file list.
I do not seem to find how I activated this feature, and I cannot seem to find any activation instructions in the Eclipse help (the help looking for "shared" and "area" separately doesn't really help anyway).
I just want this feature/window/perspective to go away and let me open files like I used to. Any tips?
Edit: Maybe this area is not called "Shared area", this could be wrong. If not, it doesn't seem to have any name. It just forces all editors opening new files to open in it, and not in the area that they usually open in. The way I determined it was called "Shared area" is by minimizing it, then opening a file. It opens as kind of a popup (described above), and there's a menu bar attached with 2 icons, "Restore" and "Shared area", which is pre-selected.
This is the are "docked" to the right:
This is the area docked below:
The area is not dockable in the way that it docks to certain areas of Eclipse, but stretches (when dragged) over the whole Eclipse Window and even outside of it.
You should reset the perspective Window -> Reset Perspective...
The shared area is the default location to open files. The files remain open in the shared area across different perspectives such as Java and Debug so that you can switch between them while working on the same files. You'd generally drag a file outside the shared area to work on it without it appearing in other perspectives.
It's hard to position the shard area view by dragging it, but you can drag the surrounding views in place around it to get it where you want.
I click on the bottom corner of the offending tile and dragged in till it closed! The "reset perspective" did not work for me but the draggin to a smaller size as if it were a picture did. Hope this helps.
If nothing works out for you, simply go to window -> new Window. Opens up a fresh copy of eclipse with everything loaded up. Even on a restart,loads up like normally it would.
I think I know what you mean. If you drag any view to that "Shared Area" but not to the body but to the header (where the title is supposed to be) the dragged view will occupy completely that "Shared Aread".
Hope that helps.
Here's what worked for me:
Menu > Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other > Java(default) > Open
Now I can create a new class that shows on the tab next to my working tab.
Ctrl+Shift+{ to toggle it on or Off.
Ctrl+Shift+W to close both of the area.
I would find it much easier if the tabs show which files are in the Editor were stacked vertically rather than horizontally. Stacked horizontally means that you run out of room to display file names very fast and makes switching between files time consuming.
Is there an option or a plugin to display the files vertically? (Similar to navigator, but for open files instead of project files) I can't seem to find one.
tabs can not be stacked vertically. However, CTRL+E (⌘+E on mac) might give you some relief.
Eclipse 3.8
CTRL+G brings up an Editors dialog as shown in this screen capture:
Eclipse 4.3
CTRL+E brings up the pop-up shown in this screen capture:
With ctrl+shift+e you can open an extra window that show you the open tabs vertically.
EditorViewer is very good
The project is dead, but it works fine with Eclipse 3.7. Just drop the .jar file in the dropins folder
http://sourceforge.net/projects/editorviewer/?source=dlp
Another command is CTRL+F6 not entirely like the other ones but great to switch between your two most recent tabs. And you also get a list of open tabs like the other examples.
you can always drag windows over each other to tile them vertically but if you see a ">>" at the end of the tabs clicking on it gives a file list which are open.
None that I know of, but there are some other tipps to make life a little easier:
1) Use Mylyn, which filters the Explorer-Views so only relevant files are shown there.
2) Have a look at "Extended VS Presentation" http://andrei.gmxhome.de/skins/index.html . This little plugin adds some useful features to reduce waste of screenspace. With it you can hide the file extension in editor tabs or limit the size of each tab and reduce the padding. Then you can remove the X and close tabs with a middle click. Each just a small saving, but they add up.
For newer versions of Eclipse, there is a plugin Open Editors which adds a view listing all open editors.
Finally a true relief!
https://sourceforge.net/projects/editorviewer/?source=dlp
Install dragging the "install" button from
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/vertical-tab-list
to show it
"window / show view / browsing / editors list"
On its internal menu I selected too: Sort by ext+name
Now I just need a way to hide the top tabs list and it will become perfect!
I'm diving into iOS development and I'm using Xcode on a multi-monitor setup.
Obviously I want to take advantage of the multiple monitors to view and edit multiple panes of source code, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to enable vertical split views. In other IDEs, it's just an option you click in the "Window" menu.
How do I enable vertical split views in Xcode?
Xcode 4
Check out the options in the Navigate file menu item. I like Command+J. Also, while the Editor is active, i.e., you're editing code or your cursor is blinking in the Editor, press Command+Option+,. Or, you can Option-click (or Option+Shift-click) a file in the Navigator. Then, to make more room for editing, I like to press Command+0 to hide the Navigator and, if they're not already hidden, Command+Option+0 to hide the Utilities. Press Command+Enter to go back to the Standard Editor view.
Xcode 3
Hold down alt and click the little tiny box (with a horizontal line through it) in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen. It's underneath the tiny little lock icon.
Xcode 9 for those coming from a search engine:
Click and hold on the Assistant Editor button for an options menu. Choosing "Assistant Editors on Right" will cause the view to be split vertically.
This has changed in Xcode 12, maybe earlier. All my Option-Clicks go to open second view appearing below rather than size by side. The solution is to go to Views -> Change Editor Orientation
respect to mattdipasquale
Command+J --------Check out the options in the Navigate file menu item
Command+Option+,------editing code or your cursor is blinking in the Editor
Option-click (or Option+Shift-click)------open a file in the Navigator
Command+Enter----------reset
Use the dropdown on the split icon to choose between different views
For Xcode 14 you just have to click this icon:
