remove watches and frames from debug window
HI,
I refer to Webstorm window layout.
During debug with breakpoints I have no use for the 'Watches' window, and I have no use for the 'Frames' window. In my case these two windows just take space and I want to remove them.
I have already attempted to 'store as default' from the 'Windows' menu but this did not help.
I also attempted to use the plugin 'Windows Layout Manager' but that did not help either. Put a breakpoint, start debug session and again the 'Watches' window and the 'Frames' window show.
How can I remove the 'Watches' window and the 'Frames' window as default?
Using Webstorm version 2020.1.1

tabs layout is persisted for me on debugger/IDE restart:
Note that you can enable Show watches in Variables tab to avoid showing watchers in a separate tab:
In WebStorm 2025, the layout icon changed a bit in appearance, but a significant problem is that it's hidden if the debugger panel is narrow enough (e.g. when docked to the right):
You must first resize the panel to see it:
Elena Pogorelova, should this icon be visible at all times?
