Is it possible to adjust the header rendering in InteliJ. Currently almost a centimeter of vertical is completely wasted to emptiness (Which is significant when working on the 15 inch mac laptop).
Going 'Full Screen' isn't acceptable option right now since then then it adds transition delay when going to another window like the terminal.
Try Distraction Free mode: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/ide-viewing-modes.html
In Distraction-free mode, the editor occupies the entire main window with the source code centered. All other elements of the UI are hidden (tool windows, toolbars, and editor tabs)

I use Lenovo idea pad L340 laptop and when I use two finger to scroll the vs code screen, then the whole screen get scrolled from top to the bottom, this problem is also with the Power shell(in vs code Power shell and windows Power shell). I also enabled the smooth scroll option in the setting of vs code but nothing happened. Please give me a solution
adjusted scroll speed but no output
I've seen this for years with Visual Studio and would like to finally understand it.
I'll be coding in VS and I want to increase my text editor font size. My typical method is to use use CTRL+MOUSEWHEEL to increase it. As text in text editor gets bigger, so does the text in the Output Window. They're sync-ed.
That makes the output window font size larger than I want so then I go to...
Tools >> Options >> Environment >> Fonts and Colors
...change the category to "Output Window" and change the font size. And yes, that certainly works. But it has the odd side-effect of making the output window stop tracking with the code window. Now, if I use CTRL+MOUSEWHEEL to adjust the code window font size, the output window does not change.
But then, a month or two later, I will notice that they're tracking together again.
What is it that made the two track together? Is there any way to toggle that tracking on and off?
(Both windows use "Courier New" for a font, if that matters)
In the VSCode editor when you pull the scroll bar down to the bottom of the file, all you see is a blank page, since the text has scrolled up past the top of the text editor window. This makes scrolling to the bottom difficult because you can't just pull the scroll bar quickly all the way down but have to carefully position the cursor so you can still see your code.
Very similar to How to make Visual Studio editor stop scrolling past bottom of a file?, but comments have pointed out that question/answer is for Visual Studio. This answer is for VSCode on the macOS and Windows.
The correct answer is seen here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40588828/1189470
There is a configuration option provided in VSCode for the functionality you specified. To enable it, go to File -> Preferences -> user settings
On the right side of the editor in settings.json paste the below line at the bottom (before closing bracket), save and close.
"editor.scrollBeyondLastLine": false
This will prevent the editor from scrolling beyond the last line.
This is now exposed as a simple checkbox labeled "Editor: Scroll Beyond Last Line" in File/Apple -> Preferences.
If just for readability you would like some space at the bottom of the file - a configurable amount - try this setting as of v1.43:
editor.padding.bottom in pixels
Editor> Padding: Bottom
Controls the amount of space between the bottom edge of the editor and
the last line.
and/or
editor.padding.top // but this isn't sticky in the sense that you can scroll right past the padding top and it is gone. It doesn't stay.
I use a widescreen laptop. Many websites have their content centre aligned. On wider screens this means lot of empty space on left and right. As such this is not a botheration.
Many a times, I read some instructions on the web page and type them out on the command prompt. I prefer to overlay the command prompt window on top of the browser and if the browser contents are left aligned (or right aligned), then I need not Alt-tab across these windows.
I use Firefox on Ubuntu. I use the command line (konsole) heavily. I know compiz (and similar) tools provides transparent windows so that the content beneath is visible. But I don't want to install compiz or its equivalent because my graphics driver is not all that good.
Any addon or simple trick that would shift the page content to the left (or right) would be very helpful (read productive).
The path of least resistance is: Don't maximise the window - leave it as a floating window and move it over so it is side-by-side with your command prompt.
If you really want to be funky, override the stylesheet using a user defined stylesheet that has a fixed margin on either the left or right, so the space is never used by the web page.
I am using visual studios 2008. My laptop has the max screen res of 1366x768.
What can i do to get more reading space? i was thinking of making the font smaller but it would be more helpful if i can make everything smaller (toolbar icons, text, etc)
The only improvement i done so far was remove a bunch of things under the toolbar so i have only one line. Actually for this project i remove the standard bar so i have have the solution and text directly under the menu with no toolbar. What else can i do to maximize reading space.
Tools > Options > Environment > General > Uncheck "Show status bar"
Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages > Uncheck "Navigation bar"
Install the "Hide Main Menu" extension available here.
Enable Auto-hide the taskbar in your Windows Taskbar properties.
That should get you at least 5-7 more lines.
Dual screens. The more pixels the better. I like 1920x1280 extended to across a matched monitor with vertically split tabs.
Probably not the answer you are looking for, but really, it HELPS A LOT.
Ok ok:
Try Lucida Console as a font - it's readable at 8pt - and fixed width!
Hit Alt+Shift+Enter to get into Full Screen mode.
Float all your "helper" windows and use Ctrl+Tab to get to them. (Click using mouse)
Pin your Windows Task Bar to the left or right of your screen to give more vertical reading space.
What I do is unpin all the various tool windows and views. Unpin the Solution Explorer, Properties viewer, Output etc. and the Toolbar. This leaves you with just the coding window and small bars around that allow you to hover over the edges of the window and see everything you just unpinned.
set the Solution explorer on the right to Auto-Hide, close the error window when possible (as in when you're not fixing errors), and try and drop the number of toolbars vertically to 1. You can also change the size of the text down by going to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and colors but i wouldn't shrink the text unless you have good vision. I recommend Consolas 12 Point for your code; it's a bit big but very nice looking!
I got rid of the toolbars altogether and made things like the Solution Explorer autohide. I came to the realisation that the only toolbar button I ever used was a custom tool one I'd put there (I use the menu for that now). I'm running at 1920x1200 so real estate wasnt an issue - I just wanted less visual distractions. Just me and the code.
