Trying to achieve something that should be quite easy, activating the full screen mode in intelliJ12 on a mac with Yosemite.
I can only maximise the windows (green window button with the +) but it's not running in full screen ( like any other app with the double arrow green button).
I have been searching quite a while for a solution, tested the shortcut cmd ctrl F did nothing and in view menu ain't got anything related to full screen.
Thanks in advance.
As far as I know, v12 doesn't support the OS X fullscreen feature, you have to upgrade to v13 at least.
If you wanna stay at the old version, just try this Fullscreen plugin, hope it works.

I am using MacBook Pro , macOS Mojave (10.14.4) . I am not able to toggle between windows of same application .
I tried Command + BackTick but its not working . Tried to change shortcut for "Move focus to next window" , but no luck .
Thanks
Another approach to bring up minimized windows without using 3rd-party app is to use Ctrl + Down (Mission Control's Application windows)
I feel Command + ` should be fixed, it should show minimized windows too. Or yellow traffic light button should default to hidden instead of minimized, so Command + ` can show all windows of same app
Note: Control + Down also works even if all of the windows of an application are minimized
I now disabled Command + ` on my machine. It's confusing to have two shortcuts for basically achieving the same thing.
I think the other windows of your same application are minimized.
Sadly, there's no keyboard shortcut that can show windows of same application if those windows are minimized. Command + Backtick only works on visible windows.
You can bring up the other minimized windows by right clicking the app's icon on the dock, then select the minimized window
UPDATE April 20 2019
Found an application that can bring up minimized windows of same application. App is HyperSwitch. You still need to do command + tab, then wait a second, a preview of all windows of same application will be shown. Then you can press command + backtick to switch to all windows of same application, even the minimized ones.
Found it on https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/2718/best-app-to-switch-between-all-open-windows
Another good option: AltTab
Use option+tab to toggle/switch among applications
To toggle/switch among windows of same application, use: option+`
You can change the option to command on AltTab, doing that, AltTab will override the default command+tab app switcher of macOS

If you turn on "Active Corners" you can make windows of same application pop up if you pull your mouse to the far corner you have activated and assigned to "program windows".....
Sorry for the messy terminology, my system language is set to danish, so the english terms I use here are just guesses.
I came here because I had a similar problem, maybe it helps someone in the future.
For me, it was fixed by reassigning the shortcut for "Move focus to next window" (to the same key combination as before). Not sure why, but it worked for me.
I have this weird problem, i often use cmd+tab to switch between opened applications. After upgrading my OS to El Capitan it started to behave weird. Sometimes it doesn't switch to last focused window but it switches to last application visible on that bar which is displayed after pressing this shortcut. It really freaks me out. Please help.
To explain this problem better i've recorded a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6gKsCTLt00 when this bug occurs i stop for a while and point my cursor on the application item on that bar.
I have to mention than all this time i'm using cmd+tab only, without shift pressed.
Under Preferences -> 'Keys' It is possible to tick Show/hide iTerm2 with a system-wide hotkey.
However iTerm always appears on the main display (monitor) instead of where the cursor currently resides.
e.g. if I have three monitors, and am working on the third screen, the hotkey makes iTerm appear on first monitor, instead of where I am currently working.
Any advice how to solve this please?
UPDATE:
The bug strikes back again in v.3.1.6. If any workarounds are known, please share.
I'm on Sierra using iTerm 3.1 and I have the option under window to put the screen where the cursor is (bottom right drop down options). I'm using it with a hotkey.
The answer by Grant works.
The only thing you need to do is to install the beta version since there was a bug in the stable version.
This bug was fixed in 3.1.beta.1 https://iterm2.com/downloads.html
Here's the link to the latest beta version https://iterm2.com/downloads/beta/iTerm2-3_1_beta_4.zip
This may be a couple more keystrokes than you were hoping for, but if you install window management software like Size Up, you can get this working with just a few keystrokes.
Maintain your ⌥Space hotkey preference on Iterm2. Go to Size Up -> Preferences and change 'Send Window Prev Monitor' to an easy keystroke. I used ⌥1.
Now, you can do ⌥Space to get the terminal open and ⌥1 one or two times to get it to your monitor of choice. It takes a couple of key combos, but not too many!
I had this problem with macos monterey and iterm 3.4.15. I'm using the hotkey to show the terminal with slide-out window. After some search on the internet I found that disabling the option on system preferences to reopen closed documents solved the issue and the hotkey is now opening terminal on the screen with cursor as it should.
mac -> System preferences -> General -> (deselect this) Close windows when quitting an app
Neither of the above worked for me, but this helped, even though the question was quite different in that thread.
I am using Intellij IDEA on Mac OSX 10.9.2. Usually I have the IDE on another space, and I switch between both. The problem is that when I run something from the IDE, the Java icon pops up in the dock, switching the space automatically, so I have to switch back to the IDE each time this happens. It is really annoying.
Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I have tried the "headless" option, but it doesn't work.
you should try right-clicking the icon in your dock and selecting "assign to both desktops" on the icon that's bugging you...
it should do the trick
BTW, this isn't a java question , it's a mac OSX question
Photoshop CS2 always stay on top, even when I click another app from the windows taskbar (right of the start button).
It's completly annoying me. Always need minimized, click the other app, reclick again on photoshop, re-reminimized.
I only have 1 screen at work so I can't let photoshop on one screen and work with the other app on the other screen.
I look in all photoshop menu, find nothing
I googled the problem, and find a adobe page explain this problem is a "feature".
I only want photoshop cs2 work all other app on windows and loose focus, let new app appear on top.
Thank you.
I had this problem and somehow solved it. But my solution may be just as fickle as why the problem occurs in the first place. But here's what I did:
On the layers palette (F7) I clicked on the small arrow just below the close "X" button, on the right. Then I selected "Pallete Options"
Didn't change any options but just clicked OK.
Now the entire window remained on top, not just the palettes. So I restarted Photoshop and it seemed to fix the issue.
I found that if you open up "edit > preferences > Memory & Image Cache" and set your memory usage up then it will fix it. I am on a Windows 10.
See this post:

Go to Edit > Preferences > File Handling > Uncheck Enable Version Cue Workgroup File Management
I literally JUST found this on accident and fixed it after having issues with all my toolbars being hidden behind stuff, and not being able to minimize without clicking on the PS window first etc. Seems to have worked!

I am having same issue with CS2 on Windows 7 64 bit. To work around, I hit tab on keyboard when photoshop window is active, that makes all pallets invisible, then I can switch to any window I need to work on.
As per this article there seem to be issue with Microsoft update https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2142314
