Workspaces 0.9
Workspaces 0.9 is available at:
http://www.intellij.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WorkspacesPlugin
Changes since version 0.8.3:
Workspaces tool window enhancements:
Double-clicking a workspace now opens the workspace.
Right-clicking displays a popup menu.
Option in global prefs to show/hide the Open, Close, Toggle
Pin, and Properties actions in the popup menu (since they're
available via the tool window's buttons, I prefer not to see
them in the popup menu, but my preference might not be all
that popular).
When selecting items in the Workspaces tool window, the entire
row is selected now (instead of just the workspace name).
Counts in the Workspaces tool window are now black (instead
of blue).
Workspaces menu enhancements:
Addition of "Close All Workspaces Except" action (provides a
submenu to choose the workspace)
Addition of "Toggle Pin" action (provides a submenu to choose
the workspace to toggle)
Addition of "Properties" action (provides a submenu to choose
the workspace to configure)
Addition of "Remove" action (provides a submenu to choose the
workspace to remove)
Performing a "Remove" via the menu doesn't interfere with the
selection of workspaces in the tool window.
Option in global prefs to automatically pin workspaces when created.
In "Create a New Workspace" and "Workspace Properties" dialogs,
the "Workspace Name" text field has default focus.
Global preferences are now persisted in
/options/workspaces.xml. This may cause you to lose
your current settings. Sorry.
NOTE: If you also use my ToolbarManager plugin, you'll need to upgrade it
to version 1.1.1.

I'd appreciate any feedback regarding this To Do item:
Consider implementing an action which is similar
to "Close All Workspaces Except" but would also
close all non-workspaced files (basically a
shortcut for doing "Close All Workspaces Except"
followed by "Close All Non-Workspace Files"). I'm
not sure what to call this, though. Possibly "Close
All Except", but that might be confusing.
Would anyone find it useful to have both of these actions available? I
think I might, but haven't really played around enough with "Close All
Workspaces Except" yet to say for sure. Maybe just one or the other would
do. I dunno yet. Thoughts? I'd also appreciate naming suggestions.
thanks,
chris
Chris, is there a way to have the Workspaces menu available
via some ALT-... shortcut?

For me is most natural "Close everything Except this workspace"
(the feature you describe). More than "Close Other Workspaces"
or "Close non-workspaced files". Don't take my wording as
something good. Just the meaning.

For me the most important features not implemented, yet:
- keyboard navigability (open, close, create, edit workspaces - possibly
via WS menu or right-click menu)
- editing workspaces (add/remove files)
The second issue appears on the plugin page, the first one I didn't
notice. Do you want me to put it there?

Yeah, sorry, i meant to add that in 0.9. I've added it for the next build.
The menu will be accessible via ALT-K (since W is taken).

Added to the To Do list. I need to prevent duplicate names anyway to solve
part of the problem of assigning keymappings to workspaces.
Addition of files will be available in the next version. Right now you can
only remove and reorder.

You can already assign keymappings to "Create New From Open Files", "Close
All Workspaces", and "Close all Non-Workspace Files". Keymappings for
opening/closing/pinning/configuring individual workspaces has been kinda
tricky so far. Since each project has its own set of workspaces, I haven't
yet completely figured out how to get the appropriate ones to appear in the
Keymaps dialog. I think I'm close to solving it, though.
Addition of files will be available in the next version. You can already
remove files from workspaces (via the Properties dialog).
There's a feature request that's similar (the 2nd one, from Gordon), but if
you're like to add more, please do. Thanks.

haven't
the
My poor man needs are fully covered by the ALT-K to access the menu.
Everything else would some after I find out ALT_K is not enough :)
Thanks Chris. A lot
