Run tool window

Last modified: 02 August 2023

Show/hide: View | Tool Windows | Run or Alt04

The Run tool window displays output generated by your application. The appearance of each tab depends on the type of the application being run and can include additional toolboxes and panes.

Tool window tabs

Pin tabs

If you are running multiple applications, each one is displayed in a tab named after the run/debug configuration applied. To preserve the output of a application, even if you re-run it, pin the output tab.

  • Right-click the tab and select Pin Tab.

    To pin tabs by default, press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings, select Advanced Settings and enable the Make configurations pinned by default option.

Split tabs

GoLand enables you to split the active Run tool window vertically or horizontally.

  • Right-click the desired tab in the tool window and select one of the split options: Split and Move Right or Split and Move Down.

  • Another way to do this is by dragging and dropping the desired tab. GoLand highlights the available areas in the tool window where you can place the tab.

  • To unsplit the tool window, right-click the top pane and select Unsplit from the context menu.

Run toolbar

The main toolbar of the Run tool window lets you rerun, stop, pause, or terminate a application.
