I'm looking for the option 'Reuse current document window, if saved' as described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4z4b7zzx.aspx
My options menu shows every option featured on the msdn page except that one.
I'm using a german version of Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 with update 4. I tried using different development settings but it still doesn't show up.
Looks like this feature was removed in VS 2012 and not supported in VS 2013 as well. Probably due to the Preview tab introduced in VS 2012+.

I am working on a asp.net MVC project in Visual Studio 2019.
I am watching a tutorial and the tutor uses Visual Studio 2015. His editor shows parameter name beside parameter, like this:
While my editor doesn't:
Does any one know what setting, feature or extension is that?
It's called "inline parameter name hint". Not sure how VS 2015 can have it since even Resharper only introduce it on 2018 (maybe CodeRush or another extension?), but if you're using the latest VS, it's available under the Editor Help group from Tools-Options-Text Editor-C#-Advanced. This feature is turned on by default in all IDEA-based IDE (Rider, Android Studio, PhpStorm, etc) so expect more people to be used by it.
Visual Studio Code has a nice feature that allows automatic expansion of currently selected tab group (called editors) once you select a document.
How this feature works can be seen in these release notes of VS Code.
Is there an extension to obtain the same effect in Visual Studio 2017 or 2019? I've asked something similar a while ago but never managed to develop the plugin.
You can look for all visual studio extensions on visual studio market place.

I search there for an extension like you described but didn't found. So until today your answer is no.
There used to be an option in Visual Studio 2017 and prior to turn off "Always show solution." This setting is missing in Visual Studio 2019 and appears to have been removed.
Unfortunately this causes trouble when using the 'Open Web Site' feature as I often do, because 'Save All' prompts to create a .sln file which I do not want.
Visual Studio 2019:
Visual Studio 2017:
Has this option been removed completely or just relocated and the name changed?
Searching for 'Always show solution' in the Visual Studio 2019 options window returns no results.
Unfortunate but yes, this is true as mentioned in the Release notes for VS 2019:
The solution options Show advanced build configurations, Always show solution, and Save new projects when created have been removed due to low usage. These values have been set to their default value of True.

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 with Web Essentials 2015 on it, and I used to get a preview pane any time I highlighted a SVG in the solution explorer. For whatever reasons for the past week it doesn't seem to do that anymore.
I've already gone into Tools > Options > Web Essentials > General and set Show preview pane to true. I also uninstalled and reinstalled Web Essentials, but still no dice.
Any idea how to get the SVG preview pane back? Or is this somehow tied to the typescript preview pane being removed thanks to the most recent Visual Studio update?
According to an issue on github this is fixed in the latest build.
Download and install the latest build from here.
After much searching, it would appear this is no longer available. I have not found a worthwhile replacement, either.
I miss the feature that would show you the results of your TypeScript compile in a separate panel. I haven't found a way to turn that back on in Visual Studio 2015 with TypeScript 1.5 beta.
I have WebEssentials for 2015 installed as well as ReSharper 9.1.
Anyone have any luck with this?
This has been removed from Web Essentials 2015 in VS 2015RC.

The TS preview pane has been removed from Web Essentials 2015 due to continuously running into conflicts with the TS compiler when new versions come out. The TS team are aware of it and I hope they will add the feature into the TS tooling in the future. It is possible that this feature will be included in the brand new Web Compiler extensions (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/3b329021-cd7a-4a01-86fc-714c2d05bb6c) when preview panes have been implemented.
Alternatively, you can hit the "Show All Files" Button in the Solution Explorer to find your .js file and then hit Alt+W, V to get a vertical split window and open the .js file right next to your .ts file.
This issue still exists as of 2015-07-30 using the officially released version of Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition plus Web Essentials 2015 version 0.5.1.
None of the previous suggestions work.
Mads needs to fix this and release a new version.
P.S. This issue does not happen with VS 2013 Update 4 and the latest Web Essentials 2013.
