How to enumerate these editors and their locations from within Plugin code?

Any hints please. Can't understand where to dig...

The following code

IdeFrame[] ideFrames = windowManager.getAllProjectFrames();

return only one entry

Solution

  • You can find all active/open editors by using the selectedEditors property of the FileEditorManager, and then ask each editor for their location on screen:

    FileEditorManager.getInstance(project).selectedEditors.associateWith {
    it.component.locationOnScreen
}

    In Java that could be something like

    Editor[] editors = FileEditorManager.getInstance(project).getSelectedEditors()
Point[] locations = editors.stream()
    .map(editor -> editor.getComponent().getLocationOnScreen())
    .collect(Collectors.toList())

    (It probably depends on your context and what you want to do with it how you'd implement this, but you get the idea.)
