Tab Shifter

====

[**Tab Shifter**](http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7475) is a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA 

with a bunch of actions to move tabs between editor splitters and resize splitters.

Actions are added to `Main Menu -> Window -> Tab Shifter`.

MacOS shortcuts:

 - `ctrl + alt + ]` - move tab to the right splitter (or create a new one if it's the rightmost splitter)

 - `ctrl + alt + [` - move tab to the left splitter

 - `ctrl + alt + P` - move tab to the splitter above

 - `ctrl + alt + '` - move tab to the splitter below (or create a new one if it's the bottom splitter)

 - `alt + shift + [` - stretch splitter left

 - `alt + shift + ]` - stretch splitter right

 - `alt + shift + =` - equal size splitter

 - `alt + shift + M` - maximize/restore splitter

Linux/Windows shortcuts:

 - `alt + shift + ]` - move tab right

 - `alt + shift + [` - move tab left

 - `alt + shift + P` - move tab up

 - `alt + shift + '` - move tab down

 - `ctrl + alt + [` - stretch splitter left

 - `ctrl + alt + ]` - stretch splitter right

 - `ctrl + alt + =` - equal size splitter

 - `alt + shift + M` - maximize/restore splitter

To move focus between splitters:

 - `ctrl + alt + shift + ]` - right

 - `ctrl + alt + shift + [` - left

 - `ctrl + alt + shift + P` - up

 - `ctrl + alt + shift + ;` - down

 - `ctrl + alt + .` - recommended binding for the built-in `Goto Next Splitter` action

Of course, all the shortcuts can be changed in `IDE Settings -> Keymap`.

Why?

====

The main motivation for this plugin is to have an action which *moves* the current tab to the next split window 

(if there was no split window, create a new one). See [this issue on youtrack](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-68692).



There are built-in actions to split and move tabs (see `Main Menu -> Window -> Editor Tabs`) but, unfortunately, they don't do the right thing. 

In particular:

 - `Split Vertically/Horizontally` duplicates the current tab in the new split.

 - `Split and Move Right/Down` always splits the current window (even if there is already split window in the specified direction)

   and has no symmetric actions to move left/up (instead, you have to unsplit).
