Export/import current layout to external file

Answered

Is it available?
1) I create project in IDEA,  move/resize tool windows as I want.
2) Export settings (File > Manage IDE Settings).
3) Now remove directories: /.config/JetBrains, .local/share/JetBrains, .cache/JetBrains.
4) Restart IDEA, import my settings from [2],
5) Open project again.

But window size, location/width of tool windows and etc are not same as [1].

These are specific to project, they aren't saved when you export settings. Use "Window | Store Current Layout as Default" to save them.

Understood.
But what's I need to do if I want to use same layout for new projects?

Would it help to call "Window | Restore Default Layout" every time you open a new project?

If you need to store several different layouts, use this plugin. It isn't possible in IDE by default at the moment.
