So when I click on something, for example, when I click a search result in browser, something appear in that place, you know when you typing something, there's always this blinking black and straight line, that's what i'm talking about, I don't know what that's called.
You can see it in the picture I attach above, the line before the word 'Google'. That line always appear everywhere I click. How do I remove this?

You see, when I press end key in my laptop keyboard, usually that takes me to the end of the page, but that's not the case now, I suspect the click behavior i mention above have something to do with this
Note:
I don't know if stackoverflow is the right site to ask this question, but since I don't know any other sites, I just post it here
Well, I found the solution, it's caret browsing from chrome, just press F7 to turn it off. Refer to this thread for more information https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/78208145/line-shows-up-when-clicking-on-text
When typing the beginning of a command in the fish shell the most recent (or frequently?) possible completion of the command is visible in dark grey.
Say I type:
fish
in dark grey: _config is appended.
at this time it is not yet evident, what I'm about to do. So the TAB key shows me all possible completions of 'fish'
I can keep on typing characters, until it's clear what I want. E.g: _con
Now there is only one option to which this could be completed. So I can hit the tab key to see fish_config. However: this was not indicated somehow. In other words: After typing fish_con nothing really tells me that I don't have to keep on typing. Is this the case? Wouldn't this be extremely helpful?
Second question: What is the actual sense of the grey characters? I'd only understand their purpose if there was a way to accept this propose. After typing f, I'd expect a key combination that immediately fully completes to the propose in grey: fish_config.
Even better would be the option let the grey letters cycle through all options, or possible completions based on the history.
The characters to the right of the cursor are called the autosuggestion. They are gray to indicate that they are not actually part of the command, just a suggested completion of what you've typed so far.
So I can hit the tab key to see fish_config. However: this was not indicated somehow. In other words: After typing fish_con nothing really tells me that I don't have to keep on typing
This sounds like you have an idea for an indication when the partial command is a unique prefix of another command. I am not sure what UI you have in mind - what would the indication look like? Please feel welcome to open an issue with your UI ideas.
However if your command is unique, the autosuggestion will always contain it.

You can accept the autosuggestion by hitting right arrow or control-F. Tab shows you all possible completions, and up arrow lets you cycle through matching history.

When typing a (long) command in the bash shell, if you were to make a mistake early in the line, is there a way to correct that mistake without having to navigate back to it? For example, lets say you have just entered something like this, but not yet pressed return:
git commit =m 'Some really long commit message, perhaps spanning multiple lines'
where you have accidentally typed = instead of -, would it be possible to append something to the end of the command before you press enter that would perform an in-line substitution to correct the mistake? This would be really handy to avoid having to do something annoying like
Pressing Ctrl+C and then rebuilding the command using a combination of copy and paste.
Pressing the left arrow a huge bunch of times so that it can be corrected before pressing enter.
One solution (in theory) would be to pipe the contents of the whole command through sed, however I am not sure how to capture the command as a string of text that could then be used in this manner.
What I would do : ctrl+a
then move the cursor after the =, then hit ctrl+w.
The latest delete the previous word.
Multiple shortcuts can help here:
Use ctrl+a to go to the beginning of the line
Use alt+b and alt+f to move forward and backward one word at a time
Use alt+e to open an editor ($EDITOR) containing your current command, edit it, then close your editor.
In Xcode < 4, you could hold the "option" key, and the "Replace All" button would change to "Replace in Selection". As of Xcode 4, this does nothing. Anyone know if there's a new way to do it, or is it bug filing time?
This appears to be working again now, at least in Xcode 4.4.1.
When the find/replace bar appears at the top of the editor, holding down the option key on the keyboard causes "Replace in Selection" to appear in lieu of "Replace All."
I'm glad, because this was an ANNOYING omission.
Another workaround:
In Xcode, select the text, press copy
In a terminal session:
pbpaste|sed 's/SOURCETEXT/NEWTEXT/g'|pbcopy
Return to Xcode window, press paste
Since the original should still be selected, it will just be replaced. You could probably build a simple shell script to do this.

Find/Replace in Xcode using Regular Expressions
Seems like missing functionality. You should file a bug report.
I'm upset that they took out this functionality, as I used it constantly, but here's my workaround. Copy your selected text from Xcode4 to TextEdit or some other word processor, do the find and replace there, and then copy the results back into Xcode.
It's not sexy but it's worth it if you do a lot of these "find and replace on my selection", and you leave the word processor open in Spaces as you work.
They should add "my selection" as an alternative to "workspace" and "my scope".
There is another way only replace the matches you find, rather than just this one or all of them.
I suggest you save a copy first, just in case....
In Find and Replace, Show Find Options (you can do this by pressing the magnifying glass).
Press Preview.
Uncheck all the ones you don't want replacing.
Press Replace
Hope that helps, it did me.
Not ideal, but not too bad:
Do a find and replace in workspace (cmd-opt-shift-f) enter your desired find/replace
Enter your desired search term and hit return
Select the range of replacements from the list of matches on the left
Hit replace (not replace all)
To replace text in a selection using Xcode 9
Press Option-Command-F to bring up the find/replace box.
Enter the search and replace string. Changing the search string will lose any existing selection, so..
Make your selection (again). (If you don't do this, the selection will be the first search string found only)
Hold down the key and "Replace All" will change to "Replace Selection", then click it.
Once you understand that you make your selection AFTER you have entered the search string, then this is not that clumbersome and works fine.
I find alt-command-f easier for local find and replace (4.3) and then working around your selection.
EthenA.Wilson asked in a comment to the OP a couple of days ago:
"Is there a way to do this in Xcode 5?"
For the benefit of those who, like me, had been searching for it, here's how:
After you put your Find and Replace terms in the bars at the top left-hand side of the editor page, select the text you want to search in, then look at the top right-hand side (same bar). You'll see where it says "All", right next to "Replace." Now press the Option key. "All" will change to "All in Selection." Click it, and you're done. Could be a bit more intuitive, but the functionality is there in Xcode 5.
Naturally, good idea to take a snapshot before you click!
HTH!
Not sure which feature prior to Xcode 4 you're referring to, but the shortcut Command+Shift+E gives you "Use Selection for Replace". If you're talking about "Find and Replace in Workspace" (Command+Option+Shift+F), then what you need to do is run your find and then hold down "Shift" or "Command" on the selections shown and then hit "Replace".
See title. Is there already a simple key combination that does this that I can't find in the manual? Is there a command I can put in KeyBindings.dict to do this?
I was hoping moveToBeginningOfParagraph: would do it but that appears to just go to the beginning of the current line.
Help appreciated.
Don't know if it's built in, or if you can do it via an Emacs shortcut, but you can do it.
Record the following:
Open the Find dialog box. Click Regular expression, and find the following:
^$
Save this macro.
