Feature Request: Split window workflow
Answered
It's common for Pycharm to be used on a larger monitor where the IDE is split into multiple code windows.
- I would like to have a good system of keyboard shortcuts to open/close those splits and change active code window I am working on.
- It's also common to move a specific file from one split window to another. When I do that, the "source" split window opens a random file in that group. I would like for each split window to remember the history of files opened, and revert to the last open file in that group, instead of moving to that random file.
These will be a major productivity boost!
Thanks,

Am I getting right you'd like to have an ability to save and restore a set of detached editor tabs?

How would you like to change it? Just in case, have you tried "Open source in new window" (Shift-F4) and "Split and Move Right"/"Split and Move Down" actions? Also, take a look at this plugin.

Try switching to "Most recently opened tab" under "Preferences | Editor | General | Editor Tabs":
