In Visual Studio 2019, I can see this icon to adjust the different panes:
What is this feature name in VS 2019 and VS 2017?
This handle can vertically split the editor.
That's the splitter control. It's found in a lot Microsoft apps like Word or Excel. Alternatively click Split on the Window menu. See Customize window layouts in Visual Studio
It's similar to Splitter Control for Windows Forms

It's trivial, I know, but yesterday, out of nowhere, Visual Studio 2012 Professional started displaying "Solution Explorer", "Team Explorer - Home", etc. in the tabs instead of nice little icons. Does anyone know how to bring back the icons?
There is an extension that does just that. It was written for VS 2015 but works fine in VS 2017.
Visual Studio Iconizer for Visual Studio 2015
Icons are displayed when the widths of the tabs are too narrow. To get the icons back, either make the pane narrower or dock some more tabs in that pane.
Is there any window in Visual Studio 2010 that can be used to find controls?
I want to see the list of all controls used in my project.
On top of the property window there is a dropdown menu where all the controls of the open file are listed and you can select them in there. This could be usefull if you have hidden controls not appearing on your form.
What do the each of the watch window icons and overlays in Visual Studio represent? Is there a legend on an MSDN page somewhere?
The icons identify the kind of the entity being watched; the same icons are also used in IntelliSense, Class View, and the Object Browser (and in Visual Studio 2012, the enhanced Solution Explorer).
There's an overview of the icons on MSDN: Class View and Object Browser Icons (the icons in Visual Studio 2012 are similar, but styled different).

If you google for class and object browser icons then you should see the latest e.g. this one for VS 2019 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/class-view-and-object-browser-icons?view=vs-2019
Some shown in this image from that page
For VS2013 here's the icon reference:

I wanted to know how Visual Studio Toolbox displays only a sub-set of Controls of all the controls depending on the document open. Document can be any file, for example, when WindowsForms is open, any component that can be dropped appears on the toolbox.
How does Visual Studio does it?
I have Visual Studio SDK installed. How do I know which tabs are hidden and which tabs are displayed. (Of course "Show All.." is unchecked).
Thanks!!

Is there a way to create a new code window in Visual Studio 2010 that is also a tabbed container for other code windows.
As far as I can see the windows will only stack on top of each other once they're undocked from the main window and will only tab when placed back on the original Visual Studio screen.
I find this greatly hinders multi monitor code screens.
Thanks.
You can do this if you install the latest Productivity Power Pack. This feature is called "Floating Tab Wells" within that extension.
