AutoLayout Switcher

IntelliJ Platform plugin that automatically switches tool window layouts based on your active display context.

• Automatic layout switching based on display context
• Window-aware behavior when laptop + external displays are connected (moving IntelliJ between screens can trigger a different layout)
• Named layout support (saved IntelliJ layouts)
• Action fallback support for IntelliJ layout-related actions
• Notification controls including a global toggle and Don't show again from popup notifications

The plugin checks display context at your configured polling interval and applies the mapped layout/action when context changes.

Supported contexts:

• IDE on laptop display
• IDE on external (single)
• IDE on external (multi)
