RStudio opens plot in extra window instead of plot pane - rstudio

My RStudio opens plots in extra windows instead of the plot pane. How do I get RStudio to plot in the plot pane again? Restarting did not help. https://stackoverflow.com/a/37264114/4533188 did not help either. My RStudio-Version is 1.0.136.

I am a system administrator who just dealt with this same annoying problem on several workstations. This is actually a bug with RStudio that can be fixed by insuring that you are using the latest version of both R and Rstudio, and then additionally checking that RStudio is actually using the latest version of R.
My solution was to completely uninstall both R and RStudio, then reinstall both.

Anaconda Spyder doesn't show the program window on windows 10--tried c:\spyder reset

Windows 10, Python 3.5, have been using spyder for a while.
Now spyder starts, window shows in the task bar, but not on the screen.
Recently changed my background window. Changed back, but doesn't help.
No problem with other applications.
I closed spyder and restarted with C:\spyder reset.
Problem still here.
I had the same problem but I managed to solve it by executing this command in Anaconda Prompt.
So, you need to run Anaconda Prompt (instead of Command Prompt) and execute this command:
spyder --reset
It worked for me and I hope it will work for you as well.
I got the same problem. And solved it with the recomendations of this link -> https://www.njevity.com/2014/02/18/a-window-is-not-visible-how-to-move-off-screen-windows-back-into-view/
Basically:
select the icon in your taskbar/ alt + tab to select
hit Alt+Space+M
your mouse icon turns into a cross with arrows
use the direction keys to move the screen around, with this you get the spyder window back in place
I experienced a similar issue, where spyder shows up in the taskbar but doesnt appear on the main screen. I encountered this after connecting to an external monitor. Solved this using (Windows): Win-key + Z -> Chose the two-column template, and spyder appears in the second column once you choose from it.
I experienced this too. I would run Anaconda, launch Spyder, and on my Windows 10 HP laptop, the Spyder icon would appear at the bottom, but I would not see any Spyder window. The launch progress bar would show, and the window with the Spyder logo version 4 would temporarily show up during the launch sequence, but that was the end of it. No Spyder window.
It turns out that because I had been using a second monitor earlier, the Spyder IDE window was launching into this second monitor, even though it was no longer attached. If you were using a second monitor and now do not see Spyder showing up, reconnect the second monitor and see if it is there then. I hope that this helps. I have sent this in as a bug to Spyder and they will contact me about it.
In my case, I didn't want to reset Spyder because it would waste time redoing all my preferences (if resetting does indeed reset those preferences, I couldn't confirm that).
I closed and restarted Spyder via the (in my case) miniforge prompt, but it didn't fix the problem; that is, Spyder opened, but was still only visible if set to fullscreen.
Going to the File item in the menubar and clicking Restart (Alt+Shift+R) restored Spyder to a usable condition.
However, it actually crashed Python completely and maybe Spyder unusable. So then I closed Spyder and closed my console, then reopened the console and started Spyder again, and then everything worked normally.

RStudio after crash cannot get help/env/plots window to show

After R-Studio crashed I lost the rightmost window and can only see the code and runtime windows when I re-open the project.
Is there a setting that I can change in R-Studio that allows the help, environment, plots windows ect. to show to the right of the code & runtime windows again? I've tried view menu Show History/Show Plots/Show Environment/Move focus to help but haven't gotten the window back.
I'm using Windows 10 operating system.
Goto Tools -> Global Options -> Pane Layout and choose the layout of the panes that you want.
This seems to be a rights issue. I get all of my windows back if I run R-Studio in administrator mode.

How to make iTerm2 appear on the current screen?

Under Preferences -> 'Keys' It is possible to tick Show/hide iTerm2 with a system-wide hotkey.
However iTerm always appears on the main display (monitor) instead of where the cursor currently resides.
e.g. if I have three monitors, and am working on the third screen, the hotkey makes iTerm appear on first monitor, instead of where I am currently working.
Any advice how to solve this please?
UPDATE:
The bug strikes back again in v.3.1.6. If any workarounds are known, please share.
I'm on Sierra using iTerm 3.1 and I have the option under window to put the screen where the cursor is (bottom right drop down options). I'm using it with a hotkey.
The answer by Grant works.
The only thing you need to do is to install the beta version since there was a bug in the stable version.
This bug was fixed in 3.1.beta.1 https://iterm2.com/downloads.html
Here's the link to the latest beta version https://iterm2.com/downloads/beta/iTerm2-3_1_beta_4.zip
This may be a couple more keystrokes than you were hoping for, but if you install window management software like Size Up, you can get this working with just a few keystrokes.
Maintain your ⌥Space hotkey preference on Iterm2. Go to Size Up -> Preferences and change 'Send Window Prev Monitor' to an easy keystroke. I used ⌥1.
Now, you can do ⌥Space to get the terminal open and ⌥1 one or two times to get it to your monitor of choice. It takes a couple of key combos, but not too many!
I had this problem with macos monterey and iterm 3.4.15. I'm using the hotkey to show the terminal with slide-out window. After some search on the internet I found that disabling the option on system preferences to reopen closed documents solved the issue and the hotkey is now opening terminal on the screen with cursor as it should.
mac -> System preferences -> General -> (deselect this) Close windows when quitting an app
Neither of the above worked for me, but this helped, even though the question was quite different in that thread.

Inkscape export window not displaying??

I am trying to export a png with transparent background to use as a favicon. However when I am in Inkscape and use the "save as" option the background is not transparent. After looking around, people said I needed to export instead to get the transparent background.
The problem comes when I go into Inkscape and go to File>Export and then no window shows up. When I go to the launch view (view on mac where you can see all your open windows in one view) I can clearly see there IS an export window but it will not show up on my normal screen no matter what. It seems like it is showing up way to the left of my normal Inkscape window in the preview as well.
I am using a MacBook Air OS X 10.9.5 with Inkscape and XQuartz. I've had problems with installing XQuartz before and wonder if it's something I did wrong when installing? I am also using an attached external monitor to my MacBook Air but when I unplugged and only used my MacBook Air I still had the same problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the export window to show so I can export my files? Thanks for your help.
When I upgraded from 0.49 to the current 0.91 I have had the exact same problem. But just right now I realized that the "Export PNG Image" is a dock now, not a free window.
Seems to be a problem with my external monitor set up. Rebooted and tried again without the monitor plugged in and the main Inkscape window (with the graphics in it) showed up way to the right side (I could only see the very left edge of the window). This was enough to click on File>Export and it finally showed the Export window in the middle of my screen. Not sure what to do about a permanent fix though or why it's doing this.

How to change the icon in the title bar in R?

I just installed R 2.11.0-x64 onto my Windows 7 Professional machine.
With my previous installations of R (2.10.1 32 bit was the most recent) the little icon that appeared in the title bar and in the taskbar at the bottom of windows was the R "R." Now however, the icon almost looks like a small windows Task Manager.
I know this isn't a code issue, but it affects me as I flip between windows.
Is there a way to put the "R" icon back in there? Would it be an R setting or a Windows setting?
It is a bug that was fixed yesterday. As per this Daily R Devel News entry post:
2.11.0 patched NEW FEATURES (Windows)
* The Rgui console, pagers and editor on the 64-bit build now have a
title bar icon.
So upgrading to the '2.11.0 patched' build may help.
