I know that I can clear recently opened via "File -> Open Recent -> Clear Recently Opened"
I also know that I can disable recently opened files for the quick search as explained here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/30770
What I want is to disable it in the dock preview (the dialog that opens when I right click on vs code in the docker)
You can disable it by setting macOS System Settings -> General -> Recent items to "none" 🙂 I was also searching for this and found this solution

I have reinstalled Visual Studio Code and for some reason, when I do the Ctrl+Shift+` shortcut, instead of opening a terminal window inside VS Code, it's opening an external command window, which is very annoying.
Anyone knows what setting it is to get it back internally?
I tried File->Preferences->Settings->Terminal and then set the first option "Customizes what kind of terminal to launch." to integrated.
Is there any other setting I need to set?
Happened the same with me. It was because I was using Legacy Console. To disable that, open any of your terminal (cmd or powershell) and right click to go to properties.
Properties -> Options -> Use Legacy console (tick it off).
Turn off ConPTY integration in the
File->Preferences->Settings->conPTY->Uncheck it
This is worked for me as mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56267064/2462531

Which is listed as a duplicate but someone was also kind enough to link to this:
How do I get around the verified bug in Windows 1903 and launch the VSCode integrated terminal?
Which has a workaround as an answer, yay!
Here's some things you can check:
Make sure you've set integrated on both the User and the Workspace settings, because the Workspace settings can override the User settings.
Make sure you are using the correct keyboard shortcut. VS Code actually has a shortcut for opening the system's native console, which will open an external window:
Make sure that your Ctrl+Shift+` is actually the shortcut for Create New Integrated Terminal:
Sometimes it could be very useful to open new iTerm window. I've seen this feature in Gnome window manager. It is possible to get same feature on MaxOsX? Is there a software to do that?
Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folders and give preferred shortcuts.
The shortcut will open iTerm at the selected folder, instead of from the folder that has been opened.
You can right-click on the folder where you want iTerm2 to open, then select Services -> New iTerm2 Tab here.
You can also find other options in the Services menu to open iTerm2 and Terminal.
This was tested on iTerm2 3.x and Catalina and above.
There are two apps called "Go2Shell" and "ShellHere". Both place a small icon at the top of the finder window. When the icon is clicked a terminal window opens in the same directory as the finder window.
Go2Shell
Go2Shell can be downloaded from Mac App Store or developer's website. It is possible that you won't be able to install it from Mac App Store, because Go2Shell wasn't updated for a long time.
Go2Shell allows users to specify whether to open shell in Terminal or iTerm2.
ShellHere
Shellhere can be downloaded from here.
ShellHere allows users to open a folder only in uses only MacOS Terminal.
Problem with current solutions: Doesn't work in current folder. Only if you right click a folder.
So do this:
In Finder, press ⌥ + ⌘ + P to show the path bar.
Then, right click your folder and choose the option. Voila!
Try https://github.com/wonderyue/Go2ShellAppleScript.
Something like Go2Shell. The latest update of Go2Shell is five years ago, due to the compatibility problem, I make a similar one with AppleScript.
If you want to open iTerm in current Finder position try the following:
OpenInTerminal
https://github.com/Ji4n1ng/OpenInTerminal
Alternative and a bit older
TermHere
https://hashbang.productions/apps/termhere/ (last updated on 2016)
Both work without issues in MacOS Catalina
cdto doesn't support opening the folder in iTerm, so its a no go
If you have BetterTouchTool, you can just create a Finder trigger with action "Open Active/Selected Folder With Specific App" and select "iTerm". Works for me!

EDIT:
You can even add Hotkey Window hotkey before "Open Active/Selected Folder With Specific App" to open the terminal in the hotkey window (as a tab). Really neat.
In hotkey window
I've been using cdto forever before accidentally stumbling on to the accepted answer. Will definitely try out the accepted answer, but leaving a link to cdto here if someone finds in useful

I always have my Xcode assistant editor open with counterparts option. It's very handy to have an *.m file opened at standard editor while having corresponding *.h file in assistant editor.
After recent update to version 6.3 Xcode started to show random instead of corresponding headers quite often. Several clicks to "four squares" icon and mode usually brings it back (but it's very annoying).
Do you experience this too? How to fix it?
Note: deleting DerivedData didn't helped
As a workaround, one could use the Reset Editor command with the keyboard shortcut Command+Option+Shift+Z (US keyboard layout). If your keyboard layout doesn't match, you can see the key binding in View->Assistant Editor->Reset Editor. A word of caution, though, this will close any additional Assistant Editors you may have opened (the ones that open by clicking "+").
Another thing I noticed is the bug happens when you are switching Xcode windows or tabs but not when you are switching files within the same tab.
It looks like it's a just bug after all. I filed a bug report rdar://20684654. For a workaround see the accepted answer.
UPDATE: it's fixed in Xcode 6.4 beta
Every time I start Xcode it gives me a window where my recent projects supposedly should be. It would come in handy but unfortunately it's always empty.
Does it have anything to do with the location where I store my projects? I hope not.
Thanks for any help!
I would think it's because you could have your recent items set to 0 in System Preferences -> Appearance.
Update - If you are using Yosemite the correct path is System Preferences -> General -> Recent items (Thanks to #karim)
EDIT: Based on comments : Then Reboot
#Mellson answer is correct. But there is no menu in OS X Yosemite, System Preferences -> Appearance.
It should be, System Preferences -> General -> Recent items. Set e.g. 5 items.
or in command line,
defaults write com.apple.Xcode NSRecentDocumentsLimit 5
However, to my experience the first one works more correctly.
Restart your mac.
Earlier, I faced the same issue after I did Xcode 7.3 update. It showed me empty (Clear) Xcode File -> Open Recents menu.
You disabled the Welcome to Xcode screen. Press shift+command+1, and then reselect the checkbox as shown below. You can also start a new project from the File menu : New > Project… without the Welcome to Xcode screen.
I have a development tool that's crashing on launch, and I don't get to see any error messages it throws, or get a chance to debug it, because it shows the Windows 7 dialog for crashed programs, where it says "Windows is checking for a solution..."
I want to have my old school big ass assert dialog box back, with a big "DEBUG" button. I have JIT completely enabled in Visual Studio's options and settings, so I'm not sure why I'm not getting the option.
Use Regedit, navigate to the below path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\DontShowUI]
Create a DWORD and set the value to 1.
This blog post on raymond.cc contains an expanded version of the steps suggested in Krzysztof John's answer.

Turn Off The Error Dialog Via The Registry
Although editing the registry manually is not recommended for average users, sometimes there isn’t a choice because something like the Group policy Editor might not be available in your version of Windows or the group policy method itself doesn’t work. This works on Windows Vista and above.
Open the Registry Editor by typing regedit into the Start search box or the Win+R Run dialog.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
Double click the DontShowUI entry on the right and change its value to 1, then close the registry editor.
. . .
The above registry fix will turn off the popup dialog for the current user, if you want the setting to affect all users on the computer then a similar registry key needs to be created in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This key isn’t present by default so needs to be created.

control panel -> troubleshooting -> change settings
In my case this solved same problem:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center\Problem Reporting Settings
set to "never check for solutions"
On my old Windows Vista Home Basic install, the option is hidden in a completely different place beneath the control panel:
Control Panel → Classic View → Problem Reports and Solutions → Change Settings → Advanced Settings → “For my programs, problem reporting is: [×] Off”
