intellij idea - How to open a project in the same window as the current windows project [WebStorm] - Stack Overflow

I can't open another project on the same window to avoid having two WebStorm pages. I've followed the instructions and in System Settings, New Window or Current Window do the same thing.

I know that on my MacOS it worked perfectly, maybe I need to do something else on Windows?

• The most unclear point here is what you mean by project and, even more puzzling, by open a project. Usually, a project is an artifact of some development tool. When you open a project, you load it using this development tool. Or some other development tool. What is it in your case? If you have something that worked perfectly, could you create and show a Minimal, Reproducible Example? – Sergey A Kryukov Commented Feb 1 at 14:47

It's possible to add another project as a module of you current, opened project. To do this in WebStorm:

1. In the project view, either right click and select 'Open Module settings' or press 'F4'
2. Select 'Modules' in the dialogue box
3. Click the '+' button to add the project you wish to add as a module
