Windows FileDialog: Open History Dropdown Box with a Keyboard Shortcut - windows

When you open a OpenFileDialog, the name input field has a dropdown combo box, that shows the last recent file histroy for the given file extension.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to open that dropdown list? I tried Space, CrsrDn, F4 - none worked for me. (I'm using Qt - QFileDialog, btw. but I think it's just a wrapper around the Windows API).

F4 opens the address combo. Alt+Down Arrow opens the filename combo when it has keyboard focus.

What is the hotkey in Xcode to open the function list & MARKs list in the current file editor

Instead of mouse clicking the section in Red box here, is there a hotkey for it in XCode?
control-6.
Everything in that bar is found in the View➡️Editor menu.
"Hotkey" is a Microsoft term. They are called "keyboard shortcuts" in the Apple ecosystem.

Rearrange Code shortcut in Resharper doesn't work in VS2015

When I try to use the shortcut for moving lines up/down (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+↑/↓), it highlights the code and shows the tooltip message "Use Up/Down to move text line" but nothing happens. If however I try the same command via the menu bar (Resharper > Edit > Rearrange Code > Move Up) it moves the selected lines as expected.
I used to use this feature all the time so I find this bug very annoying. Apparantly, others also experience this (see comments for Resharper move line up down not working) but I haven't been able to find a solution for it. Resetting keyboard layouts and reapplying VS keyboard schemes doesn't work.
Has anyone been able to resolve this issue?
[EDIT]
Reason of this is issue (when you are logging to machine with VS and Resharper via Remote Desktop) is that Ctrl-Alt-Left Arrow/Ctrl-Alt-Right Arrow combinations are not sent to your virtual machine
There are two workarounds:
My first soultion (change combination see below)
You can use AutoHotKey script as stated in thread:

[/EDIT]
Reason is
duplication of the same hotkeys which could be found in 'Shortcut currently used by:' combobox
Fix is
I described process for _MoveRight shortcut - for other shortcuts it works the same
STEP 1 Check for conflicting changes
seeImage
go to Tool --> Options --> Keyboard
in field 'Show commands containing' find your command (moveright in example)
click in field 'Press shortcut keys' press ALT + RIGHT ARROW
in field Shortcut currently used by you will find conflicting shortcut -
Edit.CompleteWord...
STEP 2 Now we need to delete this shortcut
in field 'Show commands containing' write Edit.CompleteWord
you should see ALT + RIGHT ARROW shortcut in field 'Shortcuts for selected command
click Remove button
STEP 3 Now we need to add our shortcut to _MoveRight function
in field 'Show commands containing' find your command (moveright in example)
click in field 'Press shortcut keys' press ALT + RIGHT ARROW
click Assign

PhpStorm terminal shortcuts: switch tab, return to editor, etc. (Mac)

On opening PhpStorm's Terminal Tool Window, I would expect to be able to run commands like Ctrl + Tab to switch terminal tabs, or Cmd + 1 to open the Project Tool Window, but my keyboard is stuck inside the Terminal.
Is there a way to release the keyboard from the Terminal so that I can return to regular commands? (Without using Option + F12 to hide the Terminal Tool Window.)
Switching between Terminal tabs can be done using the same shortcut as Editor tabs: Alt+Left/Right on Windows using Default keymap (on Mac it would be Cmd + Shift + [ and Cmd + Shift + ] (or whatever you have got there for Main Menu | Window | Editor Tabs | Select Next/Previous Tab -- you can verify/change it in your Preferences | Keymap)).
Project View tool window shortcut (Alt+1 on Windows or Cmd+1 on Mac) does not work indeed if used in Terminal.. but shortcuts for Favorites or Structure tool windows still work just fine.
Therefore I may suggest to jump to Structure via Alt+7 (Cmd+7 on Mac) first and then just use Esc to get into Editor). P.S. See if recording macro with such sequence will work for you (you can assign custom shortcut to it).
I'd suggest simply adding another keyboard shortcut for accessing the terminal. E.g. ⌘0
F12 is the default shortcut for Mac and Linux OS.
This shortcut will toggle terminal focus. The default F12 shortcut for Mac (dunno about Windows) will not.
You may need to restart PhpStorm to hijack ⌘0 or whatever you choose.
You can access terminal by Alt + F12 on Windows
PHPStorm and other products of Jet-brains are configurable to your liking. you don't need to learn new keyboard shortcut jus configure the as you prefer.
For example for me i use PHPStorm VS code and Sublime text editor for my coding daily.
So it is good to have same key-map on all of your IDES/Text editors
i am on mac and i use these key-map for all of the mentioned above
Command + ! => toggle Explore tab
Command + ~. => toggle Termina tab
Command + 2. => toggle console tab
So to configure any keyboard of your choice this on PHPStorm (macOs)
Hit Command + , and you will be on PHPStorm Preferences
Go to Key-map if you happen to know the current working shortcut on your PHPStorm
then on you right side after the search box there is a keyboard hit it and press the current working key let say by default toggling terminal is option + F12 (please note for some keyboard you need to add function key(fn) that will make it be option/alt + fn + F12)
Hope you will see terminal with keyboard shortcut at the right side, then two finger click/ right click hope you will have a popup menu to add new keyboard shortcut or remove the existing one.
Add your preferred keyboard shortcut first before removing the existing on (why ? since as soon as you remove the keyboard and you firstly got there via that keyboard shortcut the result will refresh and the thing will disappear from the view)
Note some of the new shortcut you prefer will be already in use that should not scare you away. just remove that and remap with a new binding later which you find useful for you.
Apply and ok then you are good to go !

Xcode 4: Keyboard shortcut for switching Assistant Editor to Tracking (Automatic) mode?

I like using the Assistant Editor in Xcode 4. I frequently Option-Click files to open them in the Assistant Editor, or use Open Quickly (Command-Shift-O), and hold the option key when selecting a file to open it in the Assistant Editor.
Both of these actions switch the Assistant Editor to Manual mode. Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch the Assistant Editor back to Tracking mode (also called Automatic)? In tracking mode it automatically shows the counterpart, e.g. the corresponding header/implementation file for the file in your main editor. know I can select Automatic mode it with the mouse on the Assistant Editor Jump bar, but I really want a keyboard shortcut to do this.
I made this to help answer another question... Does it help?
In the View -> Assistant Editor menu, there's an item called "Reset Editor". The default keyboard shortcut is Cmd-Opt-Shift-Z. It resets the Assistant View to show Counterparts.
I don't know if it's new in Xcode 4.1, but it should be a little easier than AppleScripting.
Alternatively, you could create a behavior to reset the editor how you'd like and bind it to a keyboard shortcut.
You can do it, but not with just a single "standard" keyboard shortcut. Assuming that you have just Option-Clicked on a file and opened it in the Assistant Editor, you would do the following steps to switch to "Counterparts" mode in the Assistant Editor:
If your focus is not on the Assistant Editor, press Command-Option-.
until you are on it.
Once focus is on the Assistant Editor, press Control-4 to drop down
the Assistant Editor menu.
"Manual" will be selected so Press DownArrow once to select
"Counterparts" and press Enter to switch to the counterpart of the
file in the main editor.
If this is too many keystrokes, you can put the keys for steps 2 & 3 in an AppleScript script and bind it to a key.
