Hi @jetbrains.com is it possible to permanently hide jetbrains AI buttons in sidebars? I removed the plugin and right-click to hide the tab in the sidebar but every time after opening the IDE's again, the AI buttons reappear in the sidebar. latest stable IDE versions of IntelliJ, WebStorm and RR

I don't know off the top of my head but I will look into it on Monday. Please give me a nudge if you haven't heard from me by the end of Monday

Nudge :)

I knew there was something I forgot about. Thanks for the nudge, when you say you remove the plugin, do you mean you disabled it or uninstalled it? Could it be that it is maybe enabled by default via a company policy?

No company policy active, the plugin is uninstalled (but always nagging for it to be reinstalled) and yet the sidebar AI buttons show up in every 'fresh' project I open. The projects that I opened before and have hidden the sidebar buttons from don't display them again, but new ones do

oh now I see what you are saying this is less of an issue particular with AI but more of how we allow you to configure your workspace and how tool windows act. Other plugins behave the same. You can create a new layout (window -> layout) and apply that to other projects. Not ideal I know
