on Apr 4, 2024 That did the trick 👍🏽 I don't recall enabling that setting at any point though, perhaps a bad default for this version of intellij?
Reacted by Luke Sheppard, mmjee, Victor Ireri and EthanNo. It's a new feature of the Material Theme UI. It's enabled by default for all users.
I need to write an article about this but bottomline, this centers the editor rather than pin it to the left. This is especially great when the tool windows are collapsed, mimicking the behavior of websites such as Reddit, Medium and so on.
I encourage you to give it a shot, alongside enabling the "Undock Tool Windows" action.
The problem with it is that it eats nearly half of the viewport for that particular file to display what's basically empty space
The former produces a predictable place for your eyes to start scanning the file, as the margin is always the same. I personally think it's not a good default and hurts ergonomy and especially for those of us already accustomed to intellij's default, but other people might disagree clearly, 100% personal pref.
Reacted by BlockyTheDev, Victor Ireri, xianxin, JP Roussel and ChloéIt challenges the habits, that's for sure. But it's the same as when the IntelliJ new UI was introduced, a lot of people were disappointed, but they left the setting as the default for users to "catch on the trend". Obviously, I'm not pushing it without a way to revert to the old behavior.
Think of it this way: in most websites nowadays, the content is often centered in the middle. So why not while coding?
In fact, VScode already introduced that setting (though, it's not the default, I agree with that):

No. It's a new feature of the Material Theme UI. It's enabled by default for all users.

How to disable this feature? Where can I find "Undock Tool Windows" action?

@mallowigi hi,there,I have found the root cause of the problem
In the new version, simply adjusting the settings of Material Theme Ul will open the Distraction Free Mode which should be a bug in the new version
After adjusting the settings, just manually turn off the Distraction Free Mode

It's not a bug, did you read the thread at all?
Who in their right mind thought that this option should be on by default?

It's not a bug, did you read the thread at all?
sorry,I really didn't see all of this thread,But on my monitor, it does seem strange to have this feature enabled by default(4K 27 inches 3008×1692)

Changed the default to false. Gave up on challenging habits.
Reacted by Martin BrunaReacted by Luke SheppardIs the default gone with this version?
I do not see the option for this under settings > features anymore. I actually like the centered editor.
I didn't remove the feature, it should still be inside the settings. Have you checked in all sections of the Features settings page?

I don't see the features page where it used to be under the main Material Theme UI dropdown, only the
Featurestab in settings, and nothing in there about the centered editor.Edit: When I open the IDE the editor is centered for a few seconds, and then moves back to the left side.
Edit2: The option is only missing for me in Rider. It is there in Webstorm and working great.You are still using the version 8.13
You are still using the version 8.13
Should Rider be showing a newer version? I see it's 9.1.0 in webstorm, 8.13.2 in Rider.
Only if you have 2024.X
