how to force side panels to have uniform width / size
Answered
when I switch side panels, the main editor bumps left and right arbitrarily. I want them to have same width. (Project , structure panels etc.)
Is it possible to modify source code to achieve this? I have a custom idea community built yesterday.
and where is the layout info saved on disk? I used Everything.exe to monitor file changes but no success..

just turn of option “remember size”:

Another question, how to use right-click dragging on the line-number margin to resize side panels? I'm using this trick in vscode (via javascript injection) and in visual studio (via ahk script that detects mouse cursor change).

In the XML file, the layout looks like below:

If it's related to plugin development, it's better to ask on our [IntelliJ IDEA Open API and Plugin Development forum](https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200366979-IntelliJ-IDEA-Open-API-and-Plugin-Development).
This is more related to modifying the IDEA itself rather than plugins. I found a way to do it. In fact, the modification is quite simple, involving less than 100 lines of code. This is because the logic for drag-and-drop is already defined in `EditorImpl.java`.
The tricky part is locating the separator bar when you right-click and drag. I took a shortcut. I saved variables for all the separator bars and then compared distances.
It works great, and it doesn't affect the original right-click menu.

Once I learn how to package it, I'll upload an installer. I wonder if that plugin forum would be a good place to showcase my modifications?

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for. But for hints, yes.
