I've got a zillion different tool windows all docked & hidden in IntelliJ but what I'd really like to do is to close some of them. I'll never use them and they're just adding to the visual clutter. There are buttons for everything BUT closing.
Any suggestions?
Before this update, I could easily close it with a simple esc keypress. I have sorta worked around this by adding a "ctrl-g" keystroke to "editor actions -> escape" like this: So I can now close the window with a "ctrl-g" keypress, but not escape.
The Project tool window lets you take a look at your project from various viewpoints and perform different tasks such as creating new items (directories, files, classes, and so on), opening files in the editor, navigating to the necessary code fragments, and more.

Problem solved. Please vote-up, my review looks a little lonely all by itself :)
Edit
I have started a discussion on the IntelliJ forum - please contribute.
From the help files it's File > Settings > Appearance that will help you. You can hide the tool windows by unselecting Show tool window bars
.
On a case by case basis, you could use File > Other Settings > Configure Plugins
and work through the wizard unselecting those plugins that you're not using. You'll need to restart Intellij, but it'll get rid of 'em.
