RStudio splitting console and source panes - rstudio

A couple days ago my RStudio began to maximize/minimize the source and console windows with no option to change the length or split them so that you can see both. I'm not sure what I did and I can't find an option to correct this.

Figured it out, panes can only be adjusted at the bottom right hand corner.

VSCode: Preview file in tab/panel

When previewing a file by clicking on it once in VSCode, is it possible to preview other files in the explorer by using the arrow keys, similar to Visual Studio? When I do it, it just selects the file, but doesn't preview it (unless I use my mouse). I'd provide a picture, but the upload isn't working right now, sadly. :(
I feel like that used to be a thing and I broke it at some point, but I could also just imagine it due to VS.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/66237216/12903844 has exactly what I was looking for!
Short summary: Up/Down + Space will enable you to preview a file, but you can also use 'multi-command' to macro it to just Up/Down (without having to press Space when selecting files this way).
Credit goes to Mark for answering it in the comments, just adding it here so the solution is marked. <3

Using highlighting and middle click for copy/paste in RStudio

In linux I frequently highlight text with the mouse to copy, and middle click somewhere else to paste. In RStudio, this does not work, forcing the use of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V or right-click menus. I often want to quickly copy segments of text between the console, editor, and browsers. Is there a way to get highlight+middleclick working?
This problem has been noted by the RStudio developers and added to their list. Unfortunately, that was five years ago, so don't hold your breath...
There are a lot of alternatives to RStudio. I haven't tried them all but RKward supports middle clicks.

Reset perspective in R Studio?

I'm pretty new to R programming. I'm using R studio, and all of a sudden it's no longer showing the workspace, it's only showing the console.
This is what it is supposed to look like
And this is what mine looks like now.
In Eclipse, whenever the workspace gets out of wack, I can just reset the perspective and everything it back to normal. I can't figure out how to do that in R Studio.
The default layout seemed to disappear after I restarted my computer.
Go to View > Panes > Show all panes
Opening a script file should split the windows horizontaly. If that doesn't work, click on the icon on the top-right corner of the RStudio window showing to windows:
This should at least show the console and file panels.
To restore the side panels, move your cursor to the extreme right of the window, until the cross arrows cursor appears (), and drag it to the middle of the screen.
For all panes to be shown, go to View-> Panes and tick show all panes.
Otherwise, ctrl+Shift+Alt+0 also worked for me.
Thank you.
Can you try saving an image of your workspace? Below are a couple of links that might help.
Workspace link 1
Workspace link 2
My computer is set up already in such a way that it automatically loads up the previous workspace I decided to save. A more qualified person would be able to tell you how and why it retrieves the previous saved image instead of a blank one like yours.
I also just got stuck for some time with the vertical split of the panes malfunctioning. I was always stuck with just 2 out of 4 panes.
I'm a pretty confident RStudio user and I tried many things like 'show all panes', moving panes around, clicking the 'hide-window', 'enlarge-window' and 'double-window' icons.
In the end I realised that the panes that were minimized didn't actually have the bar with the title. Instead these we only lines of 1 pixel height.
The solution for me was to expand the bottom panes and then hover near the 1 pixel height line at the top. This changed the cursor into the hand-cursor, which allowed me to drag the top window down, and back into view with the other pane.

Remove strange blue box in visual studio

This blue rectangle is fixed on the screen. Sometimes growing, shrinking and changing place.
tried the answer to this question:
In the Visual Studio SQL editor, how do I get rid of the boxes?
as I thought it might be related but didn't help.
How to get rid of it?
The box is drawn by Windows' Narrator feature for people with low vision. I recently accidentally toggled this myself by hitting winkey+enter. Hitting it again and moving the mouse cursor seems to toggle it back off again as well.
As mentioned below, depending on the narrator shortcuts configured on your system one of the following may work:
winkey+enter.
caps lock+esc
Full overview of narrator hot keys can be found here.
For some reason Winkey + Enter didn't work for me. However I found Caps Lock + Esc did the trick. See Narrator Shortcuts for more info
It looks like you have an extension installed which is adding that box. Try disabling extensions until you find the one that is causing this
Tools -> Options -> Extension Manager

Why would Xcode stop drawing tabs when indent level is greater than three?

For some reason Xcode 4.5 and 4.4.1 have both stopped displaying indented text at the proper level if there are more than three Tab characters of leading whitespace on the lines.
Easier to show than describe:
There are five leading tabs on the line the arrow is pointing to, but Xcode is drawing it as if there were only three. Using the left and right arrow keys confirms the Tabs are there.
I have deleted the derived data associated with my projects, deleted the project.xcworkspace file and xcuserdata directories within the project package, mucked around with various combinations of Indentation settings in Xcode's Preferences, all to no avail.
Newly created projects exhibit the same behavior. Changing the Source Editor font preferences have no effect either. This is in OS X 10.8.1.
Help -- my brain can't understand the code when it doesn't "look right"! What else can I try?
So, I filed a Radar, then heard back from a friend of mine who was having the same problem. Are you using the new SourceCode Pro font from Adobe? Your screenshot makes it look like you might be. Try switching back to a different theme and restarting Xcode? That's what I did, and it seems to be fine.
Eventually I removed (after quitting Xcode) the entire UserData folder in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode and that seems to have fixed the problem.
Hopefully it won't take more than another half hour to restore all the key equivalents and syntax coloring that I am accustomed to.
Leaving the question 'alive' in case it happens to someone else.
