On Sublime Text you can visualize a tab (as a line), and space (as a dot) - as per this StackOverflow forum.
Please is there something similar for the Cloud9 IDE?
e.g.
Many thanks!
In order to view invisible characters within the Cloud9 Editor, please visit the preferences panel (Cloud9 > Preferences), then click on User Settings, and then Code Editor (Ace) within Editors. Enable 'Show Invisible Characters' and you should be all set.

I downloaded an install Sublime editor. I want to color the text when writing in specific programming languages, so that I can copy/Paste to Word. I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Gv77BkTlE but nothing worked on me. Does anyone know how do I enable text coloring on Sublime? Otherwise is there any other editor that I can use in order to get colored text so that I can Copy/Paste it to Word?
Pasting from VSCode to word keeps the formatting and colors for me. You do have to make sure you paste with source formatting.
I just found out that there is an option at the bottom right of the Sublime Text to select the programming language. The menu to select other languages opens up when you click on it (C++ on the screenshot). This is on version 4143
I'm using VS Community 7.4.3. Lots of answers to this question seem only to deal with full regular Visual Studio, and tell you to go to the Tools -> Options -> Text Editor. But there is no "options" menu under my Tools dropdown in VS Community. I have a menu for Text Editor in Preferences. And an option called "Backspace removes indentation." But I select and unselect this--no matter what, when I press Tab, it creates 4 individual spaces.
Help please!
Figured it out.
"Preferences" -> "Source Code" -> "Code Formatting"
Select code type you want to change formatting for,
Under "Text Style" tab, unclick "Use default settings from 'text file'",
And unclick "Convert tabs to spaces".
I guess there is a text file somewhere where the default settings are stored. I think I saw answers for editing that but not including where to find it. This works for me.
I would like to see all files or documents I've opened in Visual Studio. I do not want them to be auto hidden or hidden on overflow.
How can I achieve it?
One of the built-in option to do so: use pinned tabs.

If you don't want to read a external page just for setting:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row
It's not completely what you want, but it's free and may be useful.
Maybe it's not exactly what you search, but here is a way to at least get a second row for pinned tabs.
Effectively get you more space for opened files:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row
Visual Studio has this extension taken from msdn.microsoft.com tested and worked
Simple installation: download, doubleclick to install, restart VS IDE. Then open all the tabs you want they all will be displayed and No hidden.

It's worth noting that starting in VS 2019 v16.4, you can now have "vertical tabs" which will list all open tabs vertically, making it easy to see all open files.

In Visual Studio 2022, this issue now has a native solution. Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show tabs in multiple rows. Excess tabs will be shown on additional rows. There doesn't seem to be a limit on how many rows this can use.
Another relevant option that some may find useful; you can choose "Show invisible tabs in italic in tab dropdown menu". The dropdown button is only visible when you hover your mouse near the end of the row of tabs. Showing invisible windows in italics makes it easier to identify windows that are only visible in the overflow menu.
For those using Visual Studio 2022, check the "Show tabs in multiple rows" setting in Tools > Options > Environment > Tabs and Windows section.
For Visual Studio Code
If you want to see all the opened tabs,
you can simply on wrap tabs option in the VS Code settings
settings > User > Workbench > Editor > Wrap Tabs
By default Aptana Studio 3 rearranges your open editor tabs (open files) by last activity, once too many are open and the available space is used up. I find this behavior totally unintuitive. Is there any way to change that?
I already tried changing presentation, theme and traditional style tabs options. None of them seem to affect the tab sorting. All I want is to keep the tabs in the order I opened them.
There is an Eclipse plugin which works in Aptana and disables tab sorting among other options.

This is a simple issue, and I hope someone can help
For reasons I don't think I need to explain, my XAML thinks it has some errors in it in the Visual Studio code editor (which shows as wavy blue underlines across most of my XAML).
Does anyone know how to turn this underlining off in Visual Studio 2012 ?
It's incredibly annoying, and makes my XAML hard to read
Thanks
I would suggest setting the editor for .xaml-files manually.
Go into
Tools->Options->Text Editor->File Extension
Write xaml in the Extension field and choose XML (Text) Editor from the Editor drop down and then click Add.
Your XAML files should now open as ordinary XML files, without error underlining.
You will probably loose a lot of the nice to have features of the XAML editor, but as far as I know (I've struggled a bit with this myself) it is the only way.
Found this on MSDN. There is a specific setting to disable this.
Open the Options dialog by selecting Tools > Options, and then select
Text Editor > XAML > Miscellaneous.
Uncheck the Show errors detected
by the XAML designer check box.

It is possible to hide the SquiggleShape by making the surrounding adornment layer hidden or collapsed using the Snoop tool.
To achieve this, the Snoop crosshair tool has to be dragged on the editor window with shift and ctrl keys pressed (keep them pressed a while when releasing mouse button). You should end on some Canvas (with the editor window highlighted), and below there is some ViewStack. Inside, there are some AdornmentLayer, one of which contains multiple SquiggleShape. In the properties section on the right side of the Snoop window, scroll to the Visibility row and select the value Hidden or Collapsed. Now, the squiggle lines are not visible any more.
This involves some manual work, but as long as the file stays open, the squiggle lines are hidden. In principle, it should be possible to write an extension which hides the lines automatically. However, at the moment I don't find the time to do this...
The only decent fix for this silly bug that I can find is right click on the xaml and click open with. Select source code editor (without with encoding). Not a great fix when you consider it gets rid of important errors. But it should help you read it better for the most part.
Another Option for this is to change the color of the line under: Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors. Change it to the same as the background.
It will turn it off in all other editors also though.
