Undo Close Panel / Remember where I was!

PhpStorm rocks! Thanks guys and girls!

I recently had to search for `<img` in my project (needed to ensure `alt=""` tags are everywhere).

Frequently, I would select a file for editing, and then switch back to the Find panel. After finishing my edits, I would attempt to close the file window (Cmd+W on Mac or Ctrl+W on everything else), and the PANEL would close (d'oh! I didn't realize the Find Panel was active).

NOTE: I have another Post relating to getting Panel to ignore Cmd+W.

If I'm 27 files into editing 32 files, I now have to remember I was on file #27, working on hit #3 (e.g., the 3rd hit of `<img` in file #27), and find the place where I was.

Is there any way for PhpStorm to 'Undo' close panel, and remember I was on file #27, 'hit' #3? Imagine Chrome's Undo Close Tab, which brings back the entire history of that tab, but for PhpStorm's Find panel (I'm sure it'd be useful for other panels as well).

Thanks!

Hi there,

AFAIK no as whole "context/content" (what the search results were etc) gets discarded as it gets passed on tool window/tab creation and not "check the current file and show the appropriate info" like some other tool windows do.
