Intellij idea, separate editor window

I recently removed tabs from my Intellij installation, because with all the functions available to move between files, who needs them?

The problem is that the usual way to detach an editor window would be to drag the tab onto another screen (or area). Nothing seems to happen in the key mappings to detach the editor window. Is there any way to do this using the keyboard?

The keyboard you are looking for is SHIFT + F4 (the action assigned to this shortcut is called Open Source in a new window. When you call this action, an open tab (file) will open in a new one but the file will also remain open in the main window, but I I believe that this is as close as possible to the functionality that you are describing, at least for the moment.

Option 2

Open the Open Class dialog box using CTRL + N to search for the class you want to open in a separate window and press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER . This will open the class in a new editor window.

Unfortunately, this only works for Java classes, and not for other files ( CTRL + SHIFT + N dialog). I created a bug report for the last problem, so if you think this might be useful, feel free to vote for it.
