Is there a way to show the project tab (left side file navigation) while being in presentation mode? I know I can switch files with <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>E</kbd>, but I would like to show the whole file structure to my audience.

The same keyboard shortcuts work in the presentation mode, so <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>1</kbd> (Mac <kbd>⌘</kbd>+<kbd>1</kbd>) will show the Project View. You can also use <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd> (hold) (Mac <kbd>⌘</kbd>+<kbd>⌘</kbd>) shortcut to temporarily display tool window buttons and activate any tool window with a mouse. <ul> <li>Manipulating the Tool Windows</li> <li>Want more effective IntelliJ IDEA screen estate?</li> </ul>

The same keyboard shortcuts work in the presentation mode, so Alt+1 (Mac ⌘+1) will show the Project View. You can also use Alt+Alt (hold) (Mac ⌘+⌘) shortcut to temporarily display tool window buttons and activate any tool window with a mouse.
