For some reason, I got this very tiny Intellisense window. It's so tiny that I can't get any help from what type a certain property needs, etc. Any way to solve this problem?
You can try to re-initialize the autocomplete suggestion to fix the window's dimensions issue:
Un-check XCode > Preferences > Text Editing > Editing > Suggest completions while typing
Restart XCode
Enable Suggest completions while typing

How do I get rid of these annoying error popups while I'm typing? They even appear over the text I'm currently typing sometimes.
I'm not exactly sure when it started, I may have accidentally turned on an option by mistake, but I don't remember which option controls this.
Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# (for example) > Advanced > Display diagnostics inline (uncheck)
So Xcode 11 changed the way editor panes are added and removed. Ok, fine, I got used to it soon enough. But a few days after using the Xcode 11 GM build, the option to add an editor is suddenly disabled.
Could be a bug, could be a 'feature' that I've inadvertently triggered. Neither the menu, toolbar button nor shortcut (^⌘T) will give me another editor (though they all did with the same build yesterday).
Any ideas?
(Note: this screenshot has the Navigator pane hidden for simplicity. Its presence/absence doesn't help with this issue)
Ok, this is embarrassing. I was in a 'focus' mode and could only add editors after I had 'hidden focus'. There are a few ways to do this:
View > Editor > Hide Focus
Tap the 'arrows pointing at each other' icon in the top left of the editor toolbar
^⇧⌘↩︎
ps. I was seriously tempted to delete my question when I realised how dumb I'd been, but I'm leaving it up as I suspect this UI quirk might also trip up others (let me know if it does, it'll help me feel like less of a fool)
I am working with Intellj IDE, but I found one thing really annoying.
I am using macOS and Magic Mouse, when I try to select part of the code it often instead of selecting code tries to move block of code like that
This thing is really annoying and happens very often, so I wonder how to disable this "useful" feature ? And left only simple selection without block movement.
Thanks
Disable the following checkbox: Settings > General > Editor > Enable Drag'n'Drop functionality in the editor
This is a simple issue, and I hope someone can help
For reasons I don't think I need to explain, my XAML thinks it has some errors in it in the Visual Studio code editor (which shows as wavy blue underlines across most of my XAML).
Does anyone know how to turn this underlining off in Visual Studio 2012 ?
It's incredibly annoying, and makes my XAML hard to read
Thanks
I would suggest setting the editor for .xaml-files manually.
Go into
Tools->Options->Text Editor->File Extension
Write xaml in the Extension field and choose XML (Text) Editor from the Editor drop down and then click Add.
Your XAML files should now open as ordinary XML files, without error underlining.
You will probably loose a lot of the nice to have features of the XAML editor, but as far as I know (I've struggled a bit with this myself) it is the only way.
Found this on MSDN. There is a specific setting to disable this.
Open the Options dialog by selecting Tools > Options, and then select
Text Editor > XAML > Miscellaneous.
Uncheck the Show errors detected
by the XAML designer check box.

It is possible to hide the SquiggleShape by making the surrounding adornment layer hidden or collapsed using the Snoop tool.
To achieve this, the Snoop crosshair tool has to be dragged on the editor window with shift and ctrl keys pressed (keep them pressed a while when releasing mouse button). You should end on some Canvas (with the editor window highlighted), and below there is some ViewStack. Inside, there are some AdornmentLayer, one of which contains multiple SquiggleShape. In the properties section on the right side of the Snoop window, scroll to the Visibility row and select the value Hidden or Collapsed. Now, the squiggle lines are not visible any more.
This involves some manual work, but as long as the file stays open, the squiggle lines are hidden. In principle, it should be possible to write an extension which hides the lines automatically. However, at the moment I don't find the time to do this...
The only decent fix for this silly bug that I can find is right click on the xaml and click open with. Select source code editor (without with encoding). Not a great fix when you consider it gets rid of important errors. But it should help you read it better for the most part.
Another Option for this is to change the color of the line under: Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors. Change it to the same as the background.
It will turn it off in all other editors also though.
Code completion itself is a good thing, but by 99.9% of time I don't need the new quick help view which was added to it in new Xcode, it only clutters the workspace and (the worst) make the code completion view to be less responsive.
Does anyone know how to turn off quick help view inside code completion view?
I've looked in Xcode's Preferences window and in Xcode's preferences file (com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist), but searching for "completion" or "quickhelp" or just "help" didn't give any results.
Preferences > Text Editing > Uncheck "Suggest completions while typing."
