How to save window position in Intellij Idea

dialog, intellij-idea

Solution

The following worked for me on Android Studio 2.2.3, but should do for IntelliJ IDEA:

On the menu bar: `Window` > `Store Current Layout as Default`

+ Update ( 2017 - Sep - 24 )

When using `Windowed Mode` the above failed. So I had to do the following.

First, choose what `Tool Window` you be setting up. For example `1: Project`.

- Left-click the item to show it

- Right-click the item and select `Windowed Mode`

- Choose the window position that you like

- Left-click again, to close it.

- To make sure, left-click again, to open it.

- Finally, select on the menu bar `Window` > `Store Current Layout as Default`

Restart the IDE to check, but it should work.

This was tested on `AndroidStudio 2.3.3` and `IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2.4` with 2 monitor screens (displays).

Problem

When i open File structure Dialog (that can he opened at Ctrl + F12 shortcut) in the start position on my monitor i have a problem. I try drag and drop this window to my comfort position. After that i close him ( i think that helps, but it's not)- the dialog showing up in start position, not in position related on my decision. How i can save my dialog position? Because it's so irritation.
