Feature Request: Dock tabs to left/top/right/bottom command and keybind

[j-a-s-o-n-g]

In the Settings, you're able to dock the tabs in the viewport, but there is no keyboard shortcut or command for it. Can you look into this to see if it's possible?

Hmm... I can't figure out what exactly you mean.

Could you please describe more? Or even upload a gif to show what you mean?

[j-a-s-o-n-g]

1.) Go to Settings > Editor > General > Editor tabs.
2.) Change tab placement to left.
3.) Apply
4.) Open several files in an editor, you'll see the tabs stack on the left.

Repeat 1-4 but instead of left, choose top.

Request: A "search everything" command as well as a keybind for each of the tab placements to swap them without having to go into settings.

Gif uploaded to first post.

well as you see in the picture this is already possible, I don't know if it works on older IDE versions, but it does work on 2022.3.2 RC

Can we still add key binds?

[MohammadMD1383]

This should be possible but I can't assign any shortcut to any action from the Actions Search tab (using ctrl+.). this may be a bug of the IDE ?!

[j-a-s-o-n-g]

If it is a bug, it's been like that for a while. That's why I was hoping you could wire together a way to with new commands/keybinds.

[MohammadMD1383]

ok, I'll try it

Hey, After playing with your addon more I came across the macro section of the settings and I can’t seem to figure out how to make any macros with it. Is it just an unfinished panel or am I missing something. I also looked at your documentation section of your github and it wasn’t documented. Also I was wondering how the predict functionality works too. Soon I am planning on writing documentation for your GitHub page to help out. On the stuff I know how to do of course. 😅 Jason

[MohammadMD1383]

to add a macro you need to first select a text and then invoke add selection to macros action.

after that you can assign a shortcut to that macro and use it everywhere in an editor.

predict words is not really good at doing what it is intended to, but it can be useful sometimes. for instance you can write helloworldclass and then invoke predict pascal case words action and hope it will change it to HelloWorldClass.

this actually works by the help of grazie plugin (which detects grammar issues and typos), it tries to find largest words that doesn't have a typo, and then transform them to the desired form.

and for the documentation, I will appreciate your help. actually I was looking for someone to help me do that. Thanks in advance.

to provide documentation you should use the @Document annotation and use it exactly like you see in the above example because I use regex to extract it.

then by executing docgen.py the new documentation should be added to the docs/ directory, and I'm ready to accept your PR.
