The top of the form container is "up" under the toolbar. I can't find out how to get it down so that I can move the form to different areas on the screen. Using VB6.
Just remove -or rename- the (.vbw) file, that would reset window size & location.. Good luck :)
Edit:
You can also open the file with any text editor and change the form container position (in case you want to maintain the other settings
Click the form then Alt+- (hyphen) to open the MDI child forms default menu, hit M for the Move item and you can use the arrow keys (or mouse iirc) to move it around.

I am unable to perform multi-file text search and replace (in Visual Studio).
In the past, when I opened the "Replace in Files" dialog, there were 4 buttons in the lower right. One of the bottom two buttons allowed me to "Replace All".
The two lower buttons (including "Replace All") are no longer present.
I believe this occurred after I changed some Windows settings so that I could use menus without the Magnifier.
It is not just a matter of the buttons being off-screen because the window is too large (although it is too large - they would be off-screen, if they were present).
I can drag the window and see the bottom, even though the top is then off-screen (I use AltWindowDrag, allowing me to hold the ALT key, and drag by any part of the window, not just the title bar).
The two lower buttons are not present. I'm unable to resize the window - when I try, nothing happens, or the window repositions so that I can see the title bar, but can no longer see the bottom.
The two buttons that are still present (Find Next and Replace) don't have keyboard shortcuts, so I presume that Replace All doesn't either. Nor can I select either of those two buttons using Tab, so probably can't select an "invisible" "Replace All" button that way.
Any help appreciated.
You can use Find and Replace by pressing Ctrl+H and to Replace All just use Alt+A.
when selecting large swaths of text from webpage I have to keep left mouse button pressed while searching for the selection's end. It would be nice if the browser would "remember" selection's start point and let me search for the ending point, e.g. by dragging the scrollbar downwards, without pressing the mouse button.
Does a plugin or other implementation of this sort already exist?
The answer to this is OS/Windowing system specific. In most/all systems there is a normal way to have the system perform what you are desiring. An add-on for Firefox is not required.
Windows:
If you click (button down and up, not button down and hold) at the start, or the end of the selection you desire then move the mouse to the other end of the desired selection (scrolling the page as needed to get the the other end) you can then hold the shift key down and click again. This will select the entire region from the first point you clicked to the second point you clicked while holding the shift key. You can adjust the selection by continuing to hold the shift key while doing any of: clicking on a different location, performing a click-drag movement, or using the keyboard cursor keys. This adjustment does not change the point at which you first clicked, just the second, end point.
It is also possible to use the control key to select individual items. This is possible in combination with clicks, double-clicks, and triple-clicks. An example would be to move your mouse around in this paragraph holding the ctrl key down while double-clicking on various words. Your selection will include just the words on which you double-clicked. In some instances, when using only a single ctrl-click to select from a discrete list (e.g. a Windows Explorer folder display), a second ctrl-click on the same item will de-select it. You can also combine the use of ctrl-click and shift-click to create more complex selections with the beginning of the shift-click selection starting at the most recent ctrl-click location.
The Mouse and Pointers page in the Windows Dev Center provides some fairly technical descriptions as guidelines for Windows developers.
Linux (using GNOME):
The interactions are similar to What was described for Windows, but a bit different. Section 10.1.2. Selecting Objects of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines 2.2.3 provides a good description.
Apple/OSX:
The Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines describes how selections can be made on Apple machines.
In VS2013 I want to view the same cshtml file in 2 windows side by side (i.e. vertical split). I know how to do a horizontal split but that's not what I'm after here.
The usual approach is to duplicate the tab (WINDOW, New Window) for the file and then create a new vertical tab group.
However, I cannot find a way to duplicate a cshtml tab, since the New Window menu item is disabled for that file type.
It works fine for .cs and even .js files.
I tried to assign a key combo for Window.NewWindow, but it still won't work for cshtml files.
Any suggestions?
To enable "New Window" for cshtml you can change "Single Code Window Only" from 1 to 0 in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\Languages\Language Services\HTMLX.
It was probably disabled for a reason and changing 12.0_Config is prone to overwrites on next VS update, but you can try how it works.
After interacting with the Project Navigator, or Search Navigator (The "folder" and "magnifying glass" tabs in the vertical pane on the left), is there a way to send keyboard focus to the code window-pane without clicking in the pane? Clicking has the side-effect of de-selecting selected text and moving the cursor position which in some cases is undesirable. The usual tab-stop mechanism doesn't seem to include the code pane in Xcode.
This is most frustrating when clicking project-wide search-results (which opens the file and selects the matching text for you, but doesn't put keyboard focus there) or clicking on files to temporarily look at a different file. In the latter case I may wish to preserve my cursor position and any already selected text in each file.
As you know you can split an Editor window in two parts. So I can edit one part of a file and look at another of same file at same time. That is a great feature.
How can I move one part to another monitor?
Or is it possible to open the same file twice?
Under the menu item Window, select "New Window". Make sure the tab you want duplicated is selected.
The new window can be dragged on to the other monitor.
