VS2022.
There's an "intellicode completions" icon at the bottom left of the editor. When I click it, it gives me completion settings. I confuse it with a bookmark. How do I remove it?

Why do I need an icon for it, anyway? Do they expect me to change this setting on a regular basis?
Uninstall IntelliCode.
Use Resharper C++ instead.

My bookmark window looks like this:
Yesterday though suddenly and out of nowhere there were one check box at the left of each bookmark. Until then I didn't know (or didn't care) that you can enable and disable bookmarks in Visual Studio (2012).
Today the checkboxes are gone. :-( I can still enable and disable them via the menu option Edit -> Bookmarks -> Enable Bookmark. I could assign this function to a shortcut key combo, I guess.
But how can I get the check boxes back?
Update: The same applies to VS2013.
Update: ... and to VS2015.
Update: Also to VS2017.
From my point of view this is a VS-Bug.
My CheckBoxes are also "away" or better seems to be away. When you click the position where the CheckBox actually is it still works.
Means: When I click left to the bookmark "flag" (where check box normally is) the bookmarks still can be enable/disabled.
This has been fixed in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
BTW: This is the original thread in connect.microsoft:
Bookmark Window: Checkbox for enabling/disabling bookmarks is invisible
When I want to close or open a function in xcode I always accidentally add a breakpoint, that is very annoying so I wonder if there is a way to remove/disable it. I have searched for a solution but they are just people asking how to remove a breakpoint. I have checked through all the settings but not found anything. Or maybe there is an option to change how to add breakpoints like double click to add as in eclipse?
Here is an image of what Im talking about:
I don't see any thing in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode.plist to help. But there are always the keyboard shortcuts for Fold and Unfold
When I hit Ctrl-Home in Visual Studio while editing code, I go to the beginning of the document. When I hit Ctrl-Home on the Output Window, Find Results, etc, I jump to the first tab in that tab group (for me, it jumps to Callstack).
How do I make this consistent?
I have VsVim installed. That may be doing something.
Go to Tools > Options. Select Environment > Keyboard.
Set Edit.DocumentStart to whatever you want the shortcut to be (Ctrl+Home). Make sure you set it to Global.
Yes, VsVim does this. Another way to change this is to click on the 'options' button in the bottom right of your screen, and look for "Ctrl-Home" and say "Set To Visual Studio".
I was messing around with my toolbars and menus in Visual Studio 08. I noticed that they were behaving strangely. When I closed the "Customize" dialog, my 'Tools' and 'Help' menu were gone (perhaps more, I can't remember what else was there). I don't want to reset everything, as I have been curtailing the VS environment to my exact liking for over a year now, and I have never saved those settings. I have lots of custom commands quirk fixes all around. I don't relish starting over. I guess the lesson is that I should be saving my settings regularly.
Does anyone know how to get the menus back? I didn't even know it was possible to remove the actual menus (not toolbar items)!
Thanks,
Ryan
You could try exporting settings from a clean install, find the section with the menus and only import those? I believe the settings file is registered to visual studio so double clicking it should start the import process.
Not to mention, this would become good practice for exporting and backing up your own settings...
Try to right click on a toolbar click on Customize. Then you can select Menu Bar and click on reset. Not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try.
You can reopen the toolbar by going to "Window > Reset window layout".
I've only tested it with VS 2019.
BUT, IDK if that's what you're asking about...
On Eclipse, whenever I double click a tab, it fills the workspace (by hiding all other views like project tree, console, etc).
Is there any way to do this on Visual Studio?
Note: i'm not looking for full screen, just want a way to declutter the workspace but still have access to menus.
Are you after this?
Set shortcuts for the Window.AutoHideAll function and for the Window.ResetWindowLayout function. In order for the ResetWindowLayout to work, you have to export your settings (make sure you select "All Settings") with all windows expanded and then import them again.
ResetWindowLayout will restore all windows to the way they were the last time you imported your settings.
Not with double click on tab, but you can do the same with Shift+Alt+Enter key combination.
This keyboard shorcut was changed to F11 from 1.9.1 vscode version.

I was looking for that, as well, and I now just got used to using full screen (Shift+Alt+Enter), which hides a little too much, which you seem to think, as well, but does in fact still show the menus.
Looks like drby got it on this one. Just FYI. I pinged the VS team to ask about this and here is the response:
"There is no way to reverse the command automatically. For it to work as a toggle we would need to save which toolwindows were auto hidden and which ones were not when the command was run, which we don’t do (it would cause lots of interesting persistence questions, across profiles and VS sessions)."
The idea of a "Unhide All" command is what I suggested. So if you hide all then you can unhide all as well. There might be some windows you don't want to unhide but the 1 or 2 extra windows is better than not having an unhide IMHO.
