Show editor tabs in Presentation mode

Question

When I am in a presentation mode I want have Editor Tabs enabled. Now they are disabled, so when I enter presentation mode I cannot move tabs right or to the opposite group. Is there a possibility to enable them?

Answer 1

Manually inserting the setting

This is now possible by manually inserting the registry key in a file that your editor picks up.

Step 1

Find the config directory for your IDE:

Linux

Go to ~/.config/JetBrains/, then open the folder for your <product><version>.

Example: ~/.config/JetBrains/WebStorm2024.1

Windows

Go to %AppData%\JetBrains, then open the folder for your <product><version>.

Example: C:\Users\Webber\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\WebStorm2024.1.

MacOS

Go to ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains then open the folder for your <product><version>.

Example: ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/WebStorm2024.1

Step 2

In that folder, create a file called idea.properties with the following contents:

ide.editor.tabs.visible.in.presentation.mode=true

Step 3

Restart your IDE and go to presentation mode
