Vim in Windows using cmder line highlighting on scroll - windows

UPDATE 16-02-29:
I managed to fix this error by trying to build from the sources hosted on github. Building this way worked but I suspect the fix had something to do with either me downloading powershell 4.0 or Microsoft Build Tools 2015, because I was prompted to update after starting cmder and the bug was still gone even after update. The fix might have also been from editing the init.bat file to point to my manual install of the latest conemu before building. I'm not sure.
ORIGINAL POST:
I'm following a tutorial to setup vim on my Windows machine. I have a weird bug though where when I scroll down on a file in Vim, every other line gets highlighting and will go away if I move the cursor up to those lines.
Like this:
This seems like a screen refresh issue of some kind. There's a similar problem, not sure if related, where sometimes when I got back to cmder after quitting vim the prompt will be placed in the middle of the previous outputs and will start to overwrite these previous lines as commands are executed. This is fixed either by a cls or restarting cmder.

Markdown File Not Working in Jupyter Notebook

Simply trying to open a README.md file from GitHub in Jupyter Notebook. Greeted with the raw text, no options, and no preview every time. I also note the loss of any of the 'standard' toolbar options at the top (such as kernel).
Screenshot of current situation
Tried just about everything the internet could think of (including a reinstall, or at least what I think to be a reinstall, of notebook), and still no luck. I also have noticed that the executed preview does not work in VSCode on my current machine, or laptop. No idea what is wrong, but clearly, I am the common factor haha. Thanks in advance for any input.

Visual Code Integrated Terminal messed up

I clicked something which I have absolutely no clue of and now every-time I click on 'New Terminal', I am being presented with an external PowerShell window rather than the integrated terminal. Any clue how to set it correctly (or should I say more aesthetically)?
Current Situation:
Expected:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, no change.
The issue is resolved by unchecking Use Legacy console in PowerShell
Current State:

Windows Octave fails to paste text from clipboard?

I am just install Octave 4.2.0 in Windows 10 and try to do some Machine Learning exercises. I notice that I can't paste the normal clipboard content to the Octave.
Does anyone else have this issue? If so, any work around? Or is it just bug in the program?
Although your description doesn't indicate the exact place you're trying to paste contents into, there were a couple bugs around the time of Octave 4.2 specifically related to this problem. See:
bug #51095: editor doesnt allow paste of exisiting clipboard data
and
bug #52361: Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V only works reliably if executed as very first action
both bugs have since been patched and closed (around version 4.4), and reports seem to indicate that the problem has not resurfaced in later versions. Anyone experiencing similar issues in a recent version of Octave (v5.2.1 as of today) should either comment on one of those closed bug reports or create a new one at https://bugs.octave.org
Run >> preferences, and in the Shortcuts tab, untick the option at the top "Disable global shortcuts when Command Window has focus". (I don't know since what version it is there.)
If you disable global shortcuts, Ctrl-V (for paste) is disabled because it is a Windows thing.
If you do not disable them, Ctrl-V will work. So will Ctrl-C to copy text, but it will also still work to abort an execution.
If you click on the icon in the title bar on the top left corner of the
window, you'll get an edit option, and you can choose to mark (choose
the text to copy), copy, and paste from there.

get to bottom of page in Chrome with Keyboard-shortcut

I used to get to the bottom of a webpage by pressing CMD+Keydown. Did they remove this shortcut or is it just me?
I know this used to work not too long ago and it's not working since one of the newer versions... (currently Version 31.0.1650.57)
CMD+Keyup still works just fine.
So I finally got around the problem:
An extension I was using got some automatic update, in this it used CMD+Keydown as a shortcut for the extension, which overwrote the default behavior.
The problem hereby was, that the programmer was not done, so he "seized" the shortcut, but was not using it for anything.
Now after more than 2 months, after an other automatic update, the shortcut triggered something in this extension, so I could find out what was causing the shortcut not to work.
Then I just disabled that shortcut for said extension. All working now :D

Sublime Text 2 file associations on Windows Vista

I want .js, .css, .html, etc. files to be associated with Sublime Text 2. I tried to associate the file type with the Sublime Text program, but the Open With dialog wont let me select sublime_text.exe. When I browse to the sublime_text.exe and click Open, (under Program Files, not Program Files x86; I have ST 64bit version installed) nothing happens; the browse window closes and I'm back to the stupid Open With dialog, but sublime_text.exe isn't selected and within the list available programs, and the OK button is disabled because I have nothing selected.
I'm sure there's someone out there that's more familiar with how Windows works internally and would be able to shed some light on what could be going wrong.
This all started when I installed Sublime Text 2 official release. At the time, I had Sublime Text 2 32bit beta installed, when I installed the official release, I decided to go with 64bit. After I installed the new version, I had two versions on my computer, a 32bit version and 64bit version. All my file associations were using the 32bit version, so after I uninstalled the old 32bit version (using Revo Uninstaller), all my file associations broke, and I haven't been able to fix this sense then.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

In case the link will die, here is content
This actually isn't a problem with Sublime text, it's a generic quirk
introduced in Vista and left lingering in W7. I actually recently made
a blog post about this very issue, you can find it at
http://anders.tonfeldt.se/?p=775 but I'll detail it here since it's
generally considered bad form to drop an url and leave.
Open regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\sublime_text.exe\shell\open\command
Verify that the path is accurate, correct it if it is not. Exit regedit.
Open task manager via ctrl+alt+del, kill explorer.exe, go to run and type explorer.exe (or skip this step and simply reboot).
Now attempt the same thing, right click a text file, open with, navigate to sublime, and it should now appear in the list of available
applications.
Disclaimer; My post above uses another application as an example and
it's not guaranteed to fix your problem, but it's likely to be the
same as I've encountered it countless times when installing /
uninstalling / reinstalling an application, or just updating one, in
Win7/Vista.
