I have updated xcode to the latest version ( Version 12.0 (12A7209)) and I can't show the toggle icons that show/hide inspector, debug or navigator Area
How can I show them again?
For the navigator the button is now at the far left, or use Command 0.
For the inspector the button is now at the far right, or use Command Option 0.
Also, in full screen mode you can summon the inspectors as overlays by hovering at the side with the mouse. Very cool as it saves space.
For the debug area there is no button; use Shift Command Y.
Basically this is a good time to learn the keyboard shortcuts!

When i hide the inspector window (normally shown on the right side of Xcode) and hover to the right edge of the Xcode Window, the inspector window automatically slides in. How can i prevent xcode from doing this and hide the inspector window permanent?
That is a normal behavior when you use Xcode in full screen mode. If you do not want the inspector to appear on hover, don't use full screen mode. (If you don't like this feature, file an enhancement request with Apple.)
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 do I disable the Xcode auto-display feature of the utilities panel (aka the far right pane that holds the identity inspector etc)?
In full screen mode (coding, not just in the storyboard) whenever my mouse curser gets moved all the way to the right of the screen, the utilities panel displays automatically. It is distracting and unwanted. If I need that panel I can click the button in the upper right to display it, or use a keyboard shortcut. It doesn't seem like anything else is autodisplaying, just the right side panel. Once I move the mouse away from it, the panel disappears again. Maddening I tell you.
I am new to running IntelliJ on a Mac. On Windows, it's possible to "minimize" the Maven "toolbar" to the right edge of the screen:
On my Mac, minimizing this makes the bar disappear. Why is that? How can I change this?
Probably you've toggled tool windows view (this could be done by hitting Alt twice, or by clicking most-left bottom icon):
If you click this button, tool window bars and buttons are shown. At the same time the button, appearance toggles to show hide tool window bars. If you click the button again, the tool window bars and buttons are hidden again.

Does anyone know how to change the position of the panel with local variables in QtCreator? When debugging, this panel is on the right side of the screen, but I would really like it to be on the bottom part.
Thanks.
In QtCreator 3.5:
- place mouse pointer near the top line of the window you want to move
- after ~1 sec window title bar will appear
- move window using drag-n-drop
Go to Window > Views and uncheck the "Locked" option.
Move / undock your panels as desired.
Relock the panels by re-checking the "Locked" option above.
That's where the option is in Qt Creator 2.3 on the Mac. Other platforms / versions may be slightly different.
QtCreator 4.1.9 on Linux:
Window -> View -> Automatically Hide View Title Bars (un-tick)
Then drag and drop.
