    Question - IDE Any way to pick which display or workspace resources always open on?

    I have two displays, and the second one is vertical (rotated 90 degrees), which is a huge help when it comes to tiles, long scripts, and having multiple expanded views in the resource tree. However, having the resource tree over there forces every freshly opened resource to open in that...

    How do YOU use layouts in GMS2?

    In the GMS2 IDE, you can save your workspace layout (click "Layouts" on the menu bar, between Marketplace and Help). I feel like I should be using them for something, or at least have an idea of why they might be useful. Anyone include them as part of their workflow?

    Question - IDE Undo-steps being wiped, when deselecting a window?

    I've recently transitioned from GM:S 1.4x to GM:S 2 due to the discontinuation of 1.4x, and there are a lot of things I don't get about the new interface.. My issue is: I've gotten into a habit of holding 'space' and dragging, to look around in my workspace. This seems like to the only way to...

    Question - IDE workspaces

    Hey everybody, is there a way to have 1 object open in more than one workspace at a time? For instance in my workspace 1 I have obj_tiger open, but when I open workspace 2 and click on obj_tiger in the resource tree it takes me back to workspace 1. I find myself scrolling up and down large...

     [suggestion] option in preferences for Ctrl+Tab to default to workspaces

    Hey gang -- I love GMS2 and this is an incredibly minor issue. It's not even an issue, just something I thought of today that might save a few folks some time. From an outsider's perspective, it seems like it would be pretty simple to implement, but who knows. I would love an option in...

    Question - IDE Workspaces Navigation Questions

    1) Is it possible to have a split view of the workspaces, so you can see 2 workspaces at the same time, side by side in the main IDE window? (Instead of dragging out the second workspace into its own window). I only have one monitor at the moment. If I had two, which I will do as soon as I can...

    Question - IDE Managing workspace tabs for scripts

    TL;DR: ctrl-tab doesn't switch between script editor tabs like I'm used to. Are there settings that help with this? While writing scripts I've been finding ways to set up GMS 2 to be more like other IDEs I'm used to. There's a few things that I haven't been able to do yet, mostly regarding...

     What if Chain View flowed down instead of right?

    For reference, my screen resolution is 2048x1152. Like many users, I have a problem with workspace layout being too spread out. Here's what my project looks like currently: I could take some actions to make this fit a little bit better: At least here the code editor doesn't overflow the...
