The font size in the Visual Studio Diagnostic tools window is HUGE compared to the rest of my UI. Is there any way to set it?
I went all through the categories in Tools >> Options >> Fonts and Colors and I could not see anything that affected it.
Click in the Diagnostics tools window, and hold Ctrl and use your mouse wheel to shrink (or enlarge) the text in the window (similar to how you would in an editor window - I think it's actually just zooming in and out rather than actually changing the font size).
Xcode 12 is annoying me. In the storyboard I want to display the assistant editor below the storyboard but Xcodes sometimes stucks the editor to the right side.
Changing the menu option "Change Editor Orientation" seems to reflect the whole editor position but not the position of the assistant editor itself.
Even the orientation is set to vertical, sometimes the assistant editor goes to the right side, sometimes below.
So as I mentioned above that's what I want, I want to force Xcode to show the assistant always on the bottom side. But it always stucks onn the vertical, right position.
Even if a new editor with horizontal oriantation is opened, the position of the assitant editor won't change.
Also the layout pane is always greyed out and stuck in automatic despite I don't use the focused editor:
You can change its orientation By shortcut key
Press Option Key and hover on the editor icon.
This will give the below output.
Okay, for all desperates Xcode beginners: The Layout Panel becomes active if the assistant editor is opened regardeless the orientation:
Choosing the right or bottom changes the position of the assistant editor immediality.
How can I configure PhpStorm to use the "non-native" fullscreen mode? I'd like PhpStorm to be fullscreen (without the macOS top menu bar, etc), in the same window (without creating a new window that I have to scroll between).
The terminal for macOS iTerm2 have this setting. You can choose to remove the tick from "Native full screen windows". When this tick is removed, the fullscreen mode will simply take out all space in the window, without creating a new separate window.
Native fullscreen example
Notice how a new separate "window" is created called "PhpStorm"
Non-native fullscreen example
Notice how theres still one window called "Desktop". The iTerm window fills out the whole screen though.
the only way you can do it at the moment is by adjusting the dock in mac to hide menu automatically and then spread the editor to wider and higher setting
click right on the dock in mac and goto settings and hide menu works for me
i am suffering from same issue lol after i saw iterm2 :P
Is there any way to make windows tab icons always visible? When window is not pinned, or big enough to display text, it looks like this:
Icons appears only when we make this window too small to fit text on tabs:
Is there any registry hack or something to make those icons always visible?
With a 14" LCD monitor (1366x768), my VS2010 can only display 21 lines in code editor. There are too many tool bars occupied upper and bottom part (see below screenshot). When writing codes, it's OK to use fullscreen mode. However, when reading codes, I need some of the toolbar like the bookmark bar, open file tab. Is there any suggestion to increase the viewing area?
Create a single custom toolbar with just the commands you really use in it. Remove the other toolbars. Close tool windows docked at the bottom.
There is an addon that can even remove the menu bar – you'll need to learn keyboard shortcuts (this is a good idea anyway: moving a hand to/from the mouse is much slower).
Increase secreen resolution
Use a different font such as Terminal or Consolas. I guess you must be already using Consolas, try Terminal.
Decrease the font size.
Turn monitor by 90 degree, so it is higher not wider.
Besides that - get a decent monitor. 14" is barely legal acording to some european laws for office use. Programmers tyically get a lot bigger.
Customize your toolbars and get rid of the buttons you don't use. You'll probably be able to fit everything on one row after that.
For example, I don't think I have used the toolbar buttons for cut/copy/paste, using the keyboard instead, so those were the first buttons I removed.
On the right side of each toolbar, there is a button with an arrow, click on that and you should see "customize this toolbar" in the drop-down menu.
Well, if you are having an older notebook, you might not able to change your display, increase your screen resolution or turn the monitor by 90 degrees, like the others suggested. Here are my suggestions for when this is the case:
Place your toolbars left or right instead at the top or bottom
close output window
use fullscreen mode and learn keyboard shortcuts for bookmarks and file menu functions, so you can work without the specfic toolbars
I use Full Screen mode (ALT+SHIFT+ENTER to toggle) when doing the actual editing, with only the solution explorer open on the right hand side.
