All guides I search for have nothing related to Mac. The plugins menu option is accessible via Ctrl + Alt + S (Settings menu) in Windows but on Mac, no such exists. When I go File, there is not even a Settings menu.
Closest is a Default Settings which gives the attached screenshot. No plugins options there that allows me to select the zip file for Ruby that I wish to use.
On Mac the menu is caused Preferences, use File | Preferences or ⌘+, shortcut.
See also the official settings/preferences documentation and installing plugins documentation.

I want to make iTerm2 as my default terminal on macOS,
I open iTerm2 and hit to make iTerm default Term
But it's not working!
And I go to default terminal preferences
But after open it I see this
(Open iTerm Build version 3.3.7)
Menu: iTerm2 > Make iTerm2 Default Term
It sounds like you need to rebuild your macOS' LaunchServices.
To do this, download OnyX and choose the version based on your current macOS version.
The option that you need is in the red box, and I'd suggest that you UNCHECK anything that you don't need or don't know; otherwise, you might end up with deleting data that you might need:
After that, you can try again with the built-in Make iTerm2 Default Term option in iTerm2 (if this option is greyed out for you, click option + the iTerm menu button to re-enable it again).
There are ways to do this through the command line without downloading third-party apps, but I trust OnyX enough to hand it the job.
However, if you decide to do it from the command line, make sure you type the command that corresponds to your current macOS version. More on that here.
Hope this helps :)
Use this location instead:
/Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm2
but note that it will not solve your issue completely. Termianal will start anyway, but this time, it will run iTerm2 - as you instructed it to do.
One thing you can do is find the file that opens a terminal (in my case it was metro opening in a React Native app). Find the file in your finder, right click on it, choose get info, then expand the Open With tab. There you should find a dropdown menu on what to open those kind of files with. The default is terminal, but choose iTerm2 and click on change all.
For example, in my situation I had to find launchPackager.command file under node_modules/react-native/scripts/. Do the above with that file and it will make iTerm your default terminal after clicking change all.
From where do you want to open the terminal? I was facing the same problem as you when I wanted to open the external terminal from Visual Studio Code.
I solved it by going to Code > Preferences > Settings. Look for terminal in the search bar and setting /Applications/iTerm.app in Terminal > External for your operating system.
Sometimes it could be very useful to open new iTerm window. I've seen this feature in Gnome window manager. It is possible to get same feature on MaxOsX? Is there a software to do that?
Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folders and give preferred shortcuts.
The shortcut will open iTerm at the selected folder, instead of from the folder that has been opened.
You can right-click on the folder where you want iTerm2 to open, then select Services -> New iTerm2 Tab here.
You can also find other options in the Services menu to open iTerm2 and Terminal.
This was tested on iTerm2 3.x and Catalina and above.
There are two apps called "Go2Shell" and "ShellHere". Both place a small icon at the top of the finder window. When the icon is clicked a terminal window opens in the same directory as the finder window.
Go2Shell
Go2Shell can be downloaded from Mac App Store or developer's website. It is possible that you won't be able to install it from Mac App Store, because Go2Shell wasn't updated for a long time.
Go2Shell allows users to specify whether to open shell in Terminal or iTerm2.
ShellHere
Shellhere can be downloaded from here.
ShellHere allows users to open a folder only in uses only MacOS Terminal.
Problem with current solutions: Doesn't work in current folder. Only if you right click a folder.
So do this:
In Finder, press ⌥ + ⌘ + P to show the path bar.
Then, right click your folder and choose the option. Voila!
Try https://github.com/wonderyue/Go2ShellAppleScript.
Something like Go2Shell. The latest update of Go2Shell is five years ago, due to the compatibility problem, I make a similar one with AppleScript.
If you want to open iTerm in current Finder position try the following:
OpenInTerminal
https://github.com/Ji4n1ng/OpenInTerminal
Alternative and a bit older
TermHere
https://hashbang.productions/apps/termhere/ (last updated on 2016)
Both work without issues in MacOS Catalina
cdto doesn't support opening the folder in iTerm, so its a no go
If you have BetterTouchTool, you can just create a Finder trigger with action "Open Active/Selected Folder With Specific App" and select "iTerm". Works for me!
BetterTouchTool screenshot
EDIT:
You can even add Hotkey Window hotkey before "Open Active/Selected Folder With Specific App" to open the terminal in the hotkey window (as a tab). Really neat.
In hotkey window
I've been using cdto forever before accidentally stumbling on to the accepted answer. Will definitely try out the accepted answer, but leaving a link to cdto here if someone finds in useful

Ie, specify [ctrl][alt]+v or something...and that would instance vim inside that text editor window... because that would be really cool.
And/Or: is there a way to do it yourself, if you wanted to? Ie, can you attach custom functions to the keyboard keys and whatnot? I noticed that a lot of the Add-Ins seem to be able to kindof accomplish that level of customizability...
There are a few projects that incorporate vim keybindings directly into the Visual Studio editor.
Here's one: VsVim
I'm using VsVim
You download the plugin from the link above, double click on it and it will be installed in all VisualStudios you have installed in your computer.
About toggling VIM in VisualStudio:
I don't think you can enable/disable it per tab or file openned: either is enabled or disabled in all files.
What you could do is this: add a new shortcut to enable or disable it when you need it.
Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> Keyboard
On the "Show commands containing" input type "VsVim.ToggleEnabled". For me this command wasn't bind it with anything. I added the shortcut
Ctrl Q, Ctrl V
I've configured MacVim to be my default editor in Xcode. I can invoke it from Xcode by double clicking the file in the project view. Is there any keyboard shortcut I can configure or invoke to open the file being viewed in the Xcode editor in my default configured editor?
I am using Xcode 4.3. You can assign a shortcut to open the file in an external editor using the menu item File/Open with External Editor. To assign the shortcut you will need to go to System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts, choose Applications Shortcuts, click on the plus button, choose Xcode from the drop down menu, write 'Open with External Editor' in the Menu Title field and choose your shortcut.
Try Option-Command-O - if that doesn't work then you may need to go to Key Bindings in Preferences and set it up (I use the BBEdit Compatible key bindings which include this shortcut as standard).
I made a little write up here fwiw:
https://tmsh.github.io/visual-guide-opening-files-externally-xcode/
Is there anyway to format the code in Xcode like you can do in Eclipse or Netbenas. I have not found any option in menu, is there any hot key for this or its simply not in Xcode?
In Xcode 4, it's been moved to Editor > Structure > Re-Indent command (and has a default shortcut of CTRL+I ).
Select some text and then: Edit->Format->Re-Indent
You can bind this to a hotkey in the preferences.
Well, first of all welcome to 2021. I know it's a very old question but still people like me visit this and for those people, I'm putting out multiple available solutions in one answer that worked for me after 2 hours of research and testing.
Re-Indent
As everyone else is suggesting, it's one of the default solution if you just want to re-indent the lines of code:
Goto: Editor -> Structure -> Re-Indent or use shortcut control + I
Using Xcode Extensions
There are 2 extensions I found and used which works charmingly for me.
1) SwiftFormat: mentioning the steps to install the xcode extension here from the readme.
Like the command-line tool, you can install the SwiftFormat for Xcode
extension application via Homebrew. Assuming you already have Homebrew
installed, type:
$ brew install --cask swiftformat-for-xcode
open the SwiftFormat for Xcode.app that you just installed. there you can change the rules of formatting.
After that, open the system preference -> extensions -> xcode source editor and mark the checkbox for SwiftFormat.
Restart the Xcode
Voila! You're good to go. you can use three options. format selected code, format entire file OR just lint file.
2) Swimat: (it is already mentioned in one of the answer here by #Guy Daher) steps to install from readme
Install via homebrew-cask
Homebrew latest version
brew install --cask swimat
Similar to above extension installation, open the Swimat.app if it does not open then try to sove it from system preferences -> security & privacy -> open swimat app
after opening, click on install in ./bin folder to make it work globally (not sure about this step but I just did it)
Restart Xcode
now you can goto editor -> swimat -> format
Bingo! You're good to go.
Additional uninvited help
You can simply set the keybinding to use any of this command. i.e. I've set the android studio default command to reformat the code as option + command + L
ps If anyone else found a better extension, please let me know in comment, I'll add it to the list.
Other than re-indentation (Edit > Format > Re-Indent), not really. However, Xcode does have support for scripts (the menu to the right of the Window menu), so you could conceivably write a script that formats your code how you like it.
Edit: here are some links that touch on this subject:
http://hackertoys.com/2008/09/18/adding-a-code-beautifier-script-to-xcode (dead link)
http://8020world.com/jcmendez/2006/11/geeky-stuff/software/adding-a-script-menu-to-xcode-to-reformat-code-using-astyle (dead link)
Here are the shortcuts, to format the code in Xcode
1.Format entire code (entire class/controller)
select the entire code and press ⌘+| on mac to format your code.
2.Format particular block of code
select the code and press
⌘+] for right move and ⌘+[ for left move
Note : as per #JavierGiovannini sugesstion you can do using Editor Menu option
3.Select code --> Go to Editor --> Structure --> Re-Indent
My personal favorite code formatter is Uncrustify.
It has many, many options, so I also suggest you download UniversalIndentGUI, a GUI to help set Uncrustify's behavior to your liking.
XCode 8 Extensions
Another option is to use an extension like Swimat. Does the job for me. However, the caveat is that it does not format on save due to the restrictive Xcode Extension APIs, but they're trying to find a workaround.
Not saying this is best approach, but for completeness, if you cut and then paste the code back in, Xcode will automatically format it for you.
In v.4 you can make some adjustments through xCode preferences...
Fix code indentation in Xcode
^-I (control - capital i)
: format the current line
⌘-A + ^-I
: format the whole code file
