vscode open unknown window when i open setting.json file - visual-studio

I'm very confuse about left window in my screen shot when i try to open setting.json file.
do someone know what is this window are and how to hidden them.

It's the arguments for the flake8 linter, look at like 23 and line 24.
You can try something like
"python.linting.flake8Args": [
"--max-line-length=120"
]

The Answer is this left window is call "default setting" from vscode
can the way to close them is add this setting into setting.json file
or remove it from setting.json file (default is should be false already)
"workbench.settings.useSplitJSON": false,
but for some reason it set to True in my setting.

error msg setting editor preferences, format on save, format on paste for Prettier - unable to write into user settings. How do I correct this, pls?

Installed Prettier. Want to set preferences to format on paste and save but getting error message - unable to write into user settings. Please open the user settings to correct errors/warnings in it and try again.
To format prettier I went into the extension, typed in format and tried to select Format on paste and format on save. That's when the error message appeared. When I check settings, I see this:
"editor.formatOnPaste": true,
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"[jsonc]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
},
"[html]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
}
What can I do?
Follow the steps it might help you:
Open the user settings file by going to Preferences > Settings in the VS Code editor, or by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+ (on Windows) or Cmd+ (on Mac).
In the Settings editor, find the section for "editor.formatOnPaste" and "editor.formatOnSave". Make sure that these settings are set to true, like this:
"editor.formatOnPaste": true,
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
Check the rest of the file for any syntax errors or warnings. In your case, it looks like there is an extra comma at the end of the "[jsonc]" and "[html]" sections, which is causing the error. Remove the extra comma, and make sure that the file is properly formatted and indented.
Save the changes to the file, and try setting the formatting options again.
This should work now that the syntax errors have been fixed.

Sublime Text start without opening previous/old files

Sublime text opens, wants to reload old files because they have changed, I reload a few and then it crashes.
Is there a way to start Sublime Text afresh, letting it forget the last files that it had open?
In Sublime Text 3 set hot_exit to false in "Preferences -> Settings-User"
"hot_exit": false
remember_open_files doesn't exist in Sublime Text 3 settings anymore.
Go to Sublime Text
Choose
Preferences >> Settings-User
Add the code below to the current settings. (Remember to add a comma at the end of the first line if it doesn’t) and save it.
{
"remember_open_files": false,
"hot_exit": false,
}

How to (easily) get current file path in Sublime Text 3

How to (easily) get current file path in Sublime Text 3
I don't often use ST console (I used it only once to install package manager), but I suppose it could be good way to :
get current file path like some kind pwd command.
But it doesn't work.
Does anyone know an easy way to get current file path?
to clipboard : better not a strict objective in the answer
not necessary by ST command, maybe package?
Right click somewhere in the file (not on the title tab) --> Copy file path
If you don't want to use the mouse, you could set up a keyboard shortcut as explained here https://superuser.com/questions/636057/how-to-set-shortcut-for-copy-file-path-in-sublime-text-3
To easily copy the current file path, add the following to Key Bindings - User:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+c"], "command": "copy_path" },
Source
Key Bindings - User can be opened via the command palette (command + p on OSX)
Easy to understand using image. On Right Click you will get this.
Transcribed code in image for convenience:
import sublime, sublime_plugin, os
class CopyFilenameCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
if len(self.view.file_name()) > 0:
filename = os.path.split(self.view.file_name())[1]
sublime.set_clipboard(filename)
sublime.status_message("Copied file name: %s" % filename)
def is_enabled(self):
return self.view.file_name()... # can't see
Mac OS X - Sublime Text 3
Right click > Copy File Path
A lot of these answers involve touching the mouse. Here's how to do get the path without any mouse clicks using SideBarEnhancements
Install SideBarEnhancements using PackageControl.
Click super + shift + P to open the command palette
In the command palette begin typing path until you see File: Copy Path
Select File: Copy Path
Now the path to file you are working in is copied into your clipboard.
There is a Sublime Package which gives your current file location inside a status bar. I just cloned them directly to my /sublime-text-3/Packages folder.
git clone git#github.com:shagabutdinov/sublime-shell-status.git ShellStatus;
git clone git#github.com:shagabutdinov/sublime-status-message.git StatusMessage;
You have to check/read the description on GitHub. Even it is listed in package control it would not install properly for me. You can actually edit the shell output as you want. If you have the right skills with python/shell.
Looks like this (Material Theme)
If you're like me and always click on items in the sidebar just to realize that copying the path only works when clicking in the editor area, have a look at the SideBarEnhancements package. It has a huge bunch of options to copy file paths in a variety of different ways.
Installation is available via Package Control (despite the webpage only mentions installation via manual download).
Note: The package “sends basic, anonymous statistics”. The webpage explains how to opt out from that.
Go to this link. The code in the link is given by robertcollier4.
Create a file named CpoyFileName.py or whatever you like with .py extension.
Save the file in Sublime Text 3\Packages\User folder. Then paste the above given key bindings in your Preferences: Key Bindings file.
Now, you can use the specified key bindings to copy just filename or total (absolute) filepath.
Please note that the filename or filepath do contain file extension.
Fastest Solution ( No Packages Needed + Comprehensive ):
Folder Path:
Folder in "Sidebar"
Right Click
"Find In Folder"
"Where" field contains everything you need
File Path:
File in current "Tab"
Right Click
"Copy File Path"

How to record a macro in sublime text 2?

I am using sublime text 2 and want to record a macro for uploading the current file vie transmit docsend (super+u) and saving it locally (super+s).
So I start to record a macro ctrl+q and see the status notification in the footer
Starting to record macro ...
Then I hit super+s and it saves and the upload it vie super+u. After hitting ctrl+q for stopping macrorecording the footer says
Stopping recording macro
But I do not have the Option in the menu "Tools/Playback macro" and when I hit save Macro it doesnt do anything.
Any Idea?
PS: I am working on OS X and I have no directory
/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2
Have I to create it as admin?
Thanks a lot
Now I realized that I dont need the folder /Library... but ~/Library...
But after saving the File ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/User/transmit-upload-and-save.sublime-macro
[
{"command": "save"},
{"command": "transmit_docksend"}
]
and adding the following to user shortcuts
[
{ "keys": ["super+u"], "command": "run_macro_file", "args": {"file": "Packages/User/transmit-upload-and-save.sublime-macro"} }
]
it does not save but uploads ... whats wrong?
To simply playback last recorded Macro press Ctrl+Shift+q.
In Sublime Text2 Macros are not saved to file by default they reside in the macro buffer instead. More here
The reason it's uploading is because your key is only defined as [super+u] which is for upload - it should be [super+s] for save.
Hope that helps

How can I make org-protocol work on Openbox?

I tried the instructions - I am using Firefox on Lubuntu (Openbox). But I get the error
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (org-protocol) isn't associated with any program".
How should I fix this?
The following steps for setting up org-protocol work with Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) and presumably later versions. Org-mode is assumed to have already been set-up (and installed using apt-get install org-mode or via the ELPA repository).
Set-up
Add .desktop file
Create and save a file called org-protocol.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications containing:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=org-protocol
Exec=emacsclient %u
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=System;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/org-protocol;
Then run:
$ update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/
This step makes Firefox aware that "org-protocol" is a valid scheme-handler or protocol (by updating ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache), and causes Firefox to prompt for a program to use when opening these kinds of links.
Add config settings to ~/.emacs.d/init.el (or ~/.emacs) file
Have the following settings in your Emacs configuration file:
(server-start)
(require 'org-protocol)
Also add some template definitions to the configuration file, for example:
(setq org-protocol-default-template-key "l")
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "/path/to/notes.org" "Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n %a")
("l" "Link" entry (file+olp "/path/to/notes.org" "Web Links")
"* %a\n %?\n %i")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "/path/to/journal.org")
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")))
Now run Emacs.
Create your notes.org file
Assuming you use the capture templates defined in step 2, you will need to prepare a notes.org file at the location you specified in step 2. You must create this file -- if it is not created along with the headlines specified in step 2, org-mode will just give a warning when you try to capture web-pages. So, given the capture templates from step 2, notes.org should contain the following:
* Tasks
* Web Links
Add bookmarklet(s) to Firefox
Save bookmark to toolbar containing something like the following as the location:
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture?template=l&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
If you are using an older version of org-mode, you may need to use the following instead:
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture://l/'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
Notice the 'l' (lowercase L) in the above URL -- this is what chooses the capture template (automatically) -- it is the key one would normally have to press when capturing with org-mode via C-c c.
When you click on this bookmarklet, Firefox will ask what program to use to handle the "org-protocol" protocol. You can simply choose the default program that appears ("org-protocol").
Using it
(Optionally) select some text on a webpage you're viewing in Firefox. When you click on the bookmarklet, the link and selected text will be placed in the Emacs capture buffer. Go to Emacs, modify the capture buffer as desired, and press C-c C-c to save it.
Add protocol handler
Create file ~/.local/share/applications/org-protocol.desktop containing:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=org-protocol
Exec=emacsclient %u
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=System;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/org-protocol;
Note: Each line's key must be capitalized exactly as displayed, or it will be an invalid .desktop file.
Then update ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache by running:
On GNOME:
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/
On KDE:
kbuildsycoca4
Configure Emacs
Init file
Add to your Emacs init file:
(server-start)
(require 'org-protocol)
Capture template
You'll probably want to add a capture template something like this:
("w" "Web site"
entry
(file+olp "/path/to/inbox.org" "Web")
"* %c :website:\n%U %?%:initial")
Note: Using %:initial instead of %i seems to handle multi-line content better.
This will result in a capture like this:
\* [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html][org-protocol.el – Intercept calls from emacsclient to trigger custom actions]] :website:
[2015-09-29 Tue 11:09] About org-protocol.el
org-protocol.el is based on code and ideas from org-annotation-helper.el and org-browser-url.el.
Configure Firefox
Expose protocol-handler
On some versions of Firefox, it may be necessary to add this setting. You may skip this step and come back to it if you get an error saying that Firefox doesn't know how to handle org-protocol links.
Open about:config and create a new boolean value named network.protocol-handler.expose.org-protocol and set it to true.
Note: If you do skip this step, and you do encounter the error, Firefox may replace all open tabs in the window with the error message, making it difficult or impossible to recover those tabs. It's best to use a new window with a throwaway tab to test this setup until you know it's working.
Make bookmarklet
Make a bookmarklet with the location:
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture://w/'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
Note: The w in the URL chooses the corresponding capture template. You can leave it out if you want to be prompted for the template.
When you click on this bookmarklet for the first time, Firefox will ask what program to use to handle the org-protocol protocol. If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), you must add the /usr/bin/emacsclient program, and choose it. With Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) or later, you can simply choose the default program that appears (org-protocol).
You can select text in the page when you capture and it will be copied into the template, or you can just capture the page title and URL.
Tridactyl
If you're using Tridactyl, you can map key sequences something like this:
bind cc js location.href='org-protocol://capture://w/'+encodeURIComponent(content.location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(content.document.title)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(content.document.getSelection())
You might also want to add one for the `store-link` sub-protocol, like:
bind cl js location.href='org-protocol://store-link://'+encodeURIComponent(content.location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(content.document.title)
Capture script
You may want to use this script to capture input from a terminal, either as an argument or piped in:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $# ]]
then
data="$#"
else
data=$(cat)
fi
if [[ -z $data ]]
then
exit 1
fi
encoded=$(python -c "import sys, urllib; print urllib.quote(' '.join(sys.argv[1:]), safe='')" "${data[#]}")
# "link" and "title" are not used, but seem to be necessary to get
# $encoded to be captured
emacsclient "org-protocol://capture://link/title/$encoded"
Then you can capture input from the shell like this:
tail /var/log/syslog | org-capture
org-capture "I can capture from a terminal!"
These instructions are more up-to-date than the ones in Mark's answer.
