Multiple project windows + keyboard shortcut for (Editor Tabs -> Close All) + shifting focus to another project window
Hello,
I have come across the following behavior while using keyboard shortcut only but not when manually doing it with mouse click.
Let me explain:
I opened multiple project windows in IntelliJ IDEA (v2017.1.5). Let's say, for the sake of discussion, Project A & Project B.
I have multiple editor tabs opened in either Project A or Project B.
I have a created a custom keyboard shortcut for Editor Tabs -> Close All.
So, now coming to the problem.
When I do the action (closing all editor tabs in Project A) using the mouse by Right clicking on an editor tab and click 'Close All': All the editor tabs are closed and the focus is still with the current project window, in this case Project A. This is the desired behavior.
However, when I used the above assigned keyboard shortcut to close all editor tabs in Project A: All the editor tabs are closed (as expected) but the focus is shifted to the Project B (not expected) which is causing unwanted user experience. Because of this I have to click on the Project A window again to access other artifacts.
Is this a bug? Or is there something that can be done to have the desired behavior.
Thanks in advance.
