# Open / Close
In goormIDE, you can open source code files, as well as Vim editor and ZIP/TAR files.
It also remembers recently opened files so you can easily get back to what you were working on.
### File - Default editor
To open a file, double-click the file you want to open in the Project Explorer on the left layout of goormIDE, or right-click and go to **\[Open]** or **\[Open with] > \[Default Editor]**.
Alternatively, go to **\[File] > \[Open File]** or press the default shortcut **`Ctrl + O (Mac: ⌘O)`**. \
In the '**Open File**' pop-up window that appears, select the file and press the **`OK`** button to open it. \
Depending on the file's extension, it may open in the default editor, or it may open in a document viewer, **Some extensions may not open because they are not supported.**
To view recently opened files, go to **\[File] > \[Open Recent Files]**. \
You can see up to five recently opened files, and clicking each file name will open the file. \
However, you may not be able to open files from other users that have been deleted or unshared.
Click **`Clear`** to clear your history.
### Vim Editor (Vim)
In addition to the regular editor, goormIDE also provides a Vim editor. When you open a file with the Vim editor, you can open the editor in the same environment as running Vim in the terminal.
To open the Vim editor, right-click the file you want to open in the Project Explorer on the left layout of goormIDE, and then go to **\[Open as] > \[Vim Editor]**. \
This will open the editor with the editing environment set to Vim instead of the terminal. \
You can still use Vim shortcuts in the editor, and they work exactly the same as in Vim.
### Compress or Decompress with ZIP / TAR
You can use the ZIP/TAR compression/decompression feature.
Right-click the file and click the **\[Compress/Decompress]** menu.
\
Alternatively, go to **\[File] > \[Compress]**. \
After extracting, you will have a folder with the same name as the compressed file in the same location, with the contents of the compressed file under it.
You can also unzip the archive by double-clicking the archive you want to open in the Project Explorer on the left layout of goormIDE.
### Close
To close a window, you can press the **`X`** icon to the far right of each window's tab title, or wheel-click the editor tab to close it.
Alternatively, go to **\[File] > \[Close]** or press the default keyboard shortcut **`Alt + X (Mac: ⌥X)`**.
You can also close a window by right-clicking the tab of the window you want to close and clicking the **\[Close]** menu. This will close the currently active window.
To close all windows other than a specific window, right-click on the tab of the window you want to leave behind and click the **\[Close Other Tabs]** menu. \
This feature only works within the current workspace. It does not affect other workspaces.
To close all tabs to the right of the currently selected window, right-click on a tab in the window and click the **\[Close Tabs to the Right]** menu. \

To close all windows, go to **\[File] > \[Close All]** or press the default keyboard shortcut **`Alt + Shift + X (Mac: ⌥⇧X)`**. \
This function applies to all workspaces, closing all open windows without regard to workspace.
