How can I save groups of open tabs in IntelliJ?

How can I save a set of open tabs in IntelliJ, so that I can switch between Git branches and bring up sets of working files for each?

Thank you.

Solution

  • You can save a context, which includes a set of open tabs along with some other information such as the active run configurations. Use Tools | Tasks & Contexts | Save Context... to save a context, and the corresponding Load Context... action to switch to a saved context.

    Note: Make sure that you have "Task Management" plugin enabled if you don't see these options in the menu.
