Is there a way to hide/toggle the view bar (different than sidebar, shown below) in VS Code? Or at least, is there a plan to add a hide feature to this panel?
I could not find an option for this anywhere.
View -> Hide Activity Bar
Menu entry was changed at some point
View -> Appearance -> Hide Activity Bar
It's also possible to hide it from the context menu.
Command: workbench.action.toggleActivityBarVisibility
From Command Palette: Toggle Activity Bar Visibility
This is currently not possible, but the option has several open feature requests against it on github.

I recently updated to Xcode 11 and some of its user interface changed. in older version of Xcode there was options of accessing files in assistant editor using automatic or manual. but in this version of Xcode I can't see any manual option in assistant editor. so I am not able to add IBOutlet and IBAction methods to particular storyboard.
so can anyone tell me how to add these actions and outlets, that would be great help. thanks
By pressing the above button, Xcode will split the view and allow you to select a custom file using the file tree at the top.
You are correct.
The Manual option is no longer visible. You can still achieve the same result by doing a quick open using Cmd+Shift+O then type the name of any file you want to open. Press the Alt key and the file will open in the Assistant Editor Window.
As others have noted the new add editor button allows you to add new editors and open files into them. You could file a bug report but you may want to consider that you're likely to get a "works as designed" type of reply.
You can always change or add new keyboard shortcuts to get the behavior you want by viewing the preferences key bindings area and search for the command you want to shortcut.
Note
You can still ctrl+drag from storyboard to the class by the Adjust
Editor button in the upper right of the storyboard. Then just select
Assistant Editor on the list. After which you can make IBOutlets/IBActions.
open your storyboard, hold option key and select the file you want
In the documentation outline of storyboard, try to choose the "correct" item, which you want to set up outlet connections. Say you want to set up an outlet connection for cell of table/collection view.
View Controller > Collection View > Cell > Content View > Image View.
Try to select Cell, "Content View" or "Image View", then check the jump bar of assistant editor, you're probably able to switch to the .swift file you want.
Reference
In Xcode 10, the toolbar had an inter-locking ring icon which showed the assistant editor, it's missing in Xcode 11.

The interface has changed a little, but the functionality is still there. The top right corner of the editor pane has two buttons:
Clicking the left button, which looks like lines of text, displays the popup menu, where you can choose various editor configuration options. Clicking the right button just narrows the existing editor and adds another one next to it.
Some of the same options are also available in the Editor menu in the main menu bar.
Update: This is from the Xcode 11 beta release notes, and perhaps more fully explains why the UI was changed:
Editors can be added to any window without needing the Assistant Editor. Editors are added using the “Add Editor” button in the jump bar or the File > New > Editor command. Each editor can now be in one of three modes: “Editor Only”, “Editor and Assistant” or “Editor and Canvas”. The latter two modes automatically show relevant content when available. When using multiple editors, the View > Editor > Focus command can be used to temporarily expand the active editor to fill the entire window, hiding other editors. For source control support, the Code Review button in the Toolbar replaces the Comparison Editor. The “Show Authors” command is now available from the Source Editor’s Editor menu. The SCM Log is now in the Inspector Area. (43806898)
With multiple editors possible in a window, you need editor-specific controls for showing the ancillary views like the assistant editor, author view, etc.
From SMGreenfield's comment:
Sometimes I want to look at a different part of the same darn document. There has always been a way to do this, but it involved jumping through hoops.
Just add another editor: click the Add Editor button in the upper right corner of the editor, or choose File > New > Editor. The new editor will default to showing the same file you were working on in the existing editor.
If new editors show up on the right of the existing editor and you'd prefer them to stack vertically, you can choose View > Change Editor Orientation. If you want them to stack horizontally most of the time (the default) but just want one to show up below, choose File > New > Editor Below.
Shortcuts :
control + option + command + return : Show Assistant Editor
command + return : Show Editor only (hide Assistant Editor)
Using Editor on the Toolbar
It has moved, to show it click on icon with horizontal lines and select Assistant.
In Xcode 11 we now have multiple editor panes. You can summon a second pane, a third pane, as many as you like.
When you have a second pane, it does not have to be an automatic assistant. In other words, the editor pane itself either is an assistant or it is not. So if it is not, it is manual. And if it is, it is automatic.
To toggle between being an assistant and being an ordinary pane, choose Assistant from the Editor menu:
If Assistant is checked, this is an assistant and is automatic. What it displays depends automatically on some other pane.
If Assistant is unchecked, this is an ordinary editor pane and is manual. You can display anything you like in this editor.
In case you can't use Add Editor button just use shortcut:
Cmd + Ctrl + Shift + Enter
Turn Assistant on by navigating to the following in Xcode 11:-
Xcode > Editor > Assistant
For Xcode 11.2.1
command + option + return
or
Main Menu -> Editor -> Line View
it is worth noting, that you can also open the assistant editor by alt-clicking the file
I am looking at this, but the documentation says that it will create a Customize Toolbar... menu.
What I am looking for is a way to have NSToolbar respond to the right click and display context menu where one of the item is "Customize...".
Will this functionality be turned on or I will have to do something extra? If I do, then what?
TIA!
If allowsUserCustomization is YES, the toolbar provides a context menu with a “Customize Toolbar…” item. You don't have to do anything else to make this menu work.
In Xcode's macOS application template, the View menu of the menu bar contains a “Customize Toolbar…” menu item which is enabled or disabled automatically based on the setting of allowsUserCustomization of the front window's toolbar. You don't have to do anything to make this work either.
If your app's main menu doesn't have the “Customize Toolbar…” menu item under any submenu, you can add one yourself by dragging a menu item out of the Objects Library. Connect the menu item's action to First Responder's runToolbarCustomizationPalette:.
I have no idea what this feature is called, but in sublime text, you can see a small picture of your code at the side of the screen
Does Visual studio have a similar feature? If so, how do you enable it?
Yes, it is called "map mode" scroll bar. Simply type the word in the quick navigator. Ctrl-Q
It is called map mode you can change it in the scroll bar options to show annotations scroll bar, it is very useful for checking for errors in code.
I have a Tab Bar Controller in a storyboard and I want to rearrange the items but I can't see any of the items. When I run it they display without a problem but they aren't visible in the storyboard. I am using XCode 6.1.1. Has anyone run into this?
Figured it out. I was using "Custom" tab bar items. The image for my custom tab bar item was defined only for one tab. And in this case tab bar items were not shown in the main tab bar controller. After adding some temporary images to every tab bar item I'm able to see them correctly in the main tab bar controller.
Definitely an Xcode bug.
I too ran into this problem for a moment and was able to overcome it by:
1) check any of the tab bar emblems (the destination emblems)
2) if there is a selected image, remove it
3) reload xcode
I don't know why this worked or why it was a problem in the first place, but I hope this helps.
