restore maximized tool window on exit
I focused Run tool window to see console results. There are many rows so I maximize it. There's error stacktrace with links to go to source files/lines. I click one. I have now focused source file but maximized console completely covers it so I can't work. I have to focus Run tool window again and restore it, then press ESC to focus editor and move with keys to scroll to correct position of source file.
In eclipse it at least moved editor to top z-order so I could see something but it was anyway weird state to continue.
I would like to restore any tool window automatically when focusing editor, especially when navigating from tool window to editor (there's no time to press restore shortcut between clicking on link and focusing editor :( ).
Is there any workaround?

what do you mean by restoring tool window - switching its maximized state off (i.e. restoring default layout)?
By restoring I mean pressing maximizing shortcut again. (Not resetting layout to some default state at installation time.)
Please see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-139391 - is it a feature you are looking for?
Exactly. Is it planned? And is it also for Webstorm? It's not too expensive feature.
it's a platform feature, so, once implemented, it will be available in WebStorm.
it's not rejected - it would be closed as Won't Fix otherwise - but I have no idea when it can be expected.
