I have a dual monitor and I wish I can pop out the "source pane"(where I edit my code), so that I can edit the code in one monitor and track everything else in another.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thank you very much for your help.
This feature was just added to RStudio this week. You can try it in our daily builds (0.99.636 or newer):
https://dailies.rstudio.com/
To pop out your file to a new window, either:
Drag the tab outside the RStudio window to where you want your new code window to appear, or
Click the "Show in new window" button on the editor toolbar (it's next to forward/back)
If you try it, let us know what you think on the support forum.
I'm using the latest Studio and encountered similar needs. I found that ctrl+shift+number will suit my needs most of the time since it zooms to the pane that I desire and can also back to the full four window layout.
An additional trick is customize the hotkey to alt+number [1,2,3,4,5] so the pane zooms more handy with one click by your left hand on the keyboard.
Hope it helps.

I am using WebStorm. Every time I open the search window (of WebStorm) it is closed when I switch between the window/ tabs of the computer.
How can I prevent that and keep the window open when I get back to WebStorm?
Assuming that by "search window" you mean the "Find in Path" functionality which got a new design in 2017.1...
When switching between the apps -- it's a bug in 2017.1 -- it's fixed and should be available in 2017.1.1
If the question is about "it closes when clicking outside of new search popup (e.g. in the code)" then please follow IDEA-168640 ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.
P.S. You may revert to the old style dialog if you so desire:
-Dide.find.as.popup=false in Help | Edit Custom VM Options will restore the original dialog.
clicking on the "Pin" icon in the upper right helped me.

I've seemed to minimize the Main Menu Bar (not the specific term), resting at the top, or ceiling, in the Cloud9 IDE. There's a small drop-down arrow located on the top-center and you'd think that would be indicative of bringing it back down or something, but I'm getting no functionality out of my numerous, calculated clicks.
I've tried to enlarging it no avail, refreshing the URL, copy command, etc. and to my very little knowledge, surprisingly, have had no success. I'm using ChromeOS, if to supply any more assistance. Any ideas? Thanks for reading if you got this far, I sure do appreciate it.
Click on the thin empty space right at the top of the window and the bar will re-appear.
The arrow in the top center of the screen should show the File menu again. Try opening up the IDE in an incognito window to make sure no browser extensions are interfering.
If this doesn't work, you may try appending ?reset=1 to your workspace URL. Be warned that this will reset all your workspace settings, such as themes, keybindings, etc. This should reset your workspace layout as well.
The answer above is correct. The mouse will change to a hand once you click right above the top line. Tricky one.
I am trying to add a shortcut to the exectuable in the user's start menu.
There are many answer on StackOverflow that detail how to do this.
However, the all say something along the lines of 'Right click in the right-hand pane to...'
So I understand you all have an interface that looks something like:
I don't have the panel on the extredme right - entitled 'Name' containing the Primary Output.
I have gone through every menu option I can find to enable this pane, but can't find it.
Anyone know how to show this window?
I am wondering wether or not the splitter has been dragged all of the way to the right. Try collapsing all of your side menus like the solution / property / toolbox etc.. to make sure that the File System editor is filling the entire window then look if you can see a splitter to the right. I have not found any way to delete that panel yet. You can also try right clicking on the File system Tab and tell it to float then make it go full screen to see if the splitter is visible then.
I had the same problem, tried to find another splitter but couldn't, got the 2nd detail pane by opening Visual Studio 2010 using the 'Run as administrator' command.
In Xcode 4 (4.2), is there a way to keep the Project Navigator view open and Debug Navigator view open as well. Must a user have one or the other, but not both? And the other navigators?
Apple seems to have decided that if you want to see the debug view, you don't want to see the files in your project. WTH? Am I getting this wrong? Did Apple Xcode UI guys even talk to developers before designing the UI for Xcode 4?
Sigh...
You can indeed have more navigators open at once, if you are prepared to have multiple windows open. I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but for multiple display setups it's very handy. Xcode provides "behaviors" to help automate this process if you only want certain things showing at certain times.
For example, a common pattern that developers follow is to setup a behavior for "Run starts" that opens up a new window setup for debugging. Start by creating a new tab in your main Xcode window by pressing command-T, and double-click on the tab's title to rename is "Debug", or whatever you like. Then drag that window out (or leave it as a tab if you like), and customise the view as required - for example, for a deb window you might have the Debug area showing at the bottom (or even covering the whole editor view), and remove the toolbar at the top by right clicking and selecting "Hide Toolbar".
Next, go to "Xcode > Behaviors > Edit Behaviors..." and choose "Run starts" in the left panel. Check the box for "Show tab" and enter the name of your newly created tab. You can also ask that tab to automatically show the Debug Navigator, and show the debugger with variables and/or console view. If you like, you can then choose "Run completes" and show the original "tab" (window), which I've setup to be called "Coding", and show the required navigator (in my case, Project Navigator).
On successfully running, Xcode will now open up your new window (or bring it to the front if it's already open) with all the settings you left it with. On stopping, your main editor will be brought back to the front.
There are loads of useful behaviors, so I would really recommend looking through them and taking the time to setup Xcode to suit your style as best as possible. All software dictates to the user how to go about doing things, and the developers can never please everybody when they decide to change the UI. The best anybody can hope to achieve is to customise the interface as best as they can to fit their style of working. If it's still an issue for you, you can either adapt to it, or, if possible, move to something else.
I'm not a fan of every new interface feature in Xcode, but I've "made it mine" with some customisations and I can still be very productive. That being said there are a lot of things that I do really like about it, and for that I can forgive it for some of the less friendly features - after all, you can't please every user.
Does anyone know how to prevent task panes from expanding unless you click on them? Sometimes I hover over one, and it takes a bit to load breaking my concentration.
Thanks!
EDIT: Now that I've had a few days to reflect on my question, I realize the answer is to close it. Let me provide an example. When you are in Word, and you want to look up a synonym to a word, you open the a thesaurus to find an alternate word. You press ALT+F7 and it bring it up. The thesaurus opens in a Task Pane, and when you are done, you click the X to close it. You don't unpin it and have it sit on the side and get annoyed when you hover over it and it pops into view, covering your content and getting in the way. With that being said, the same mental model applies to visual studio. Don't have windows or panes open which you don't need. Open them when you want to preform a task, "close" the task pane, don't hide it.
Cheers!
P.S. This doesn't mean I feel it isn't bad design to pop open windows when you hover over them (I'm sure someone will debate me on this). I still would like an option to choose when to open collapsed windows.
I keep it closed. I open it only when needed. I do the same for tools and servers.
Try to memorize their shortcuts, and keep'em closed.
Use the little "Pin" icon (right between the triangle and "X" icon of the pane) to fix it, then resize or close it.
