Can't find Edit of Terminal on Ubuntu - terminal

I just found that I can't find the Edit option of gnome-terminal when I launch it on my Ubuntu(unity) OS, and I had got access to the Edit on the top bar to change the fonts of terminal, but now when I move cursor to the top bar, there is nothing except a "Terminal" title.
What should I do to edit my terminal preferences?
I am sorry that I am not so familiar with Ubuntu so that I don't know what more information should I provide, if it's necessary, please notify me.

If you hover over any section of the terminal and right click then a list of options will appear. One of these options is profiles, hover over this and click preferences to bring up a number of options that you can configure to your liking.

Select the target application does not appear in vscode

I use vscode a lot to write scripts for Adobe applications, and in recent days when I opened vscode, the button with the yellow inscription "Select the target application" that appears in the status bar at the bottom of the vscode window suddenly disappeared, and in its place another button appeared with the inscription "Eval in Adobe".
I tried to Google it, I tried to check in the plugin settings if there is a setting that causes this, and also I tried to install previous versions of the plugin, but to no avail.
Please enlighten my eyes and explain to me how to get it back.
I'm not sure if there is a way to get it back, but it should give you the same functionality as before.
The new 'Eval in Adobe' button, after clicking, should give a dropdown of all possible Adobe Apps that you can run your program in.
Alternatively you can go into the Debug panel and click 'Run and Debug'. Then select 'Extendscript' then 'Attach'. At that point it will give you the same Adobe App selection choice.
The button will change to orange and say 'Eval in Adobe (Program Name Here)'. You can then use it to immediately enter debug without having to reselect your target application.

How can I use iterm as default terminal on macOS?

I want to make iTerm2 as my default terminal on macOS,
I open iTerm2 and hit to make iTerm default Term
But it's not working!
And I go to default terminal preferences
But after open it I see this
(Open iTerm Build version 3.3.7)
Menu: iTerm2 > Make iTerm2 Default Term
It sounds like you need to rebuild your macOS' LaunchServices.
To do this, download OnyX and choose the version based on your current macOS version.
The option that you need is in the red box, and I'd suggest that you UNCHECK anything that you don't need or don't know; otherwise, you might end up with deleting data that you might need:
After that, you can try again with the built-in Make iTerm2 Default Term option in iTerm2 (if this option is greyed out for you, click option + the iTerm menu button to re-enable it again).
There are ways to do this through the command line without downloading third-party apps, but I trust OnyX enough to hand it the job.
However, if you decide to do it from the command line, make sure you type the command that corresponds to your current macOS version. More on that here.
Hope this helps :)
Use this location instead:
/Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm2
but note that it will not solve your issue completely. Termianal will start anyway, but this time, it will run iTerm2 - as you instructed it to do.
One thing you can do is find the file that opens a terminal (in my case it was metro opening in a React Native app). Find the file in your finder, right click on it, choose get info, then expand the Open With tab. There you should find a dropdown menu on what to open those kind of files with. The default is terminal, but choose iTerm2 and click on change all.
For example, in my situation I had to find launchPackager.command file under node_modules/react-native/scripts/. Do the above with that file and it will make iTerm your default terminal after clicking change all.
From where do you want to open the terminal? I was facing the same problem as you when I wanted to open the external terminal from Visual Studio Code.
I solved it by going to Code > Preferences > Settings. Look for terminal in the search bar and setting /Applications/iTerm.app in Terminal > External for your operating system.

How do I copy/paste in Anaconda prompt?

I work on Windows 7. Have the following problem. Want to copy a text from Anaconda prompt to a website.
I marked a given line in Ancaconda prompt, I click 'mark' in the menu, mark the text - but when I click right the marking vanishes. I also tried Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V but it doesn't work either. What is my mistake?
Step 1: Right click on the title bar of the Anaconda Prompt.
Step 2: Select Properties.
Step 3: Under Options section, select all the check boxes of Edit Options and Text Selection, then click OK
Hope this helps.
Ctrl+C to copy anything from anywhere, as usualRIGHT CLIC inside Anaconda Prompt window to paste
Right click on the title bar of the Anaconda Prompt.
Select Default Value instead of Properties.
Check last term of Edit Options.
Restart the Prompt.
It's simple.
USE:
Copy: Enter
Paste: Ctrl +V
I found how to do this.
You select the text you want, then *don't * do Ctrl-c or any other combination. Instead right click the title bar and check in the menu that appears a "Copy" option. (I think it is inside another menu).
Once you do this, the text is copied in the correct way and you can just Ctrl-V in your own application, editor , etc

Windows Shell Desktop Preview

I've installed Rainmeter with Honeycomb and want only a simple Icon, which will act like the Windows "Show Desktop" Button in the right corner.
Well so far so good, I've got it working, that when I click on the Icon my Desktop will show up and the rest will be minimized:
...
LeftMouseUpAction=["shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}"]
...
Well now I want that when I hover over it, the preview will be shown:
MouseOverAction=[" Insert Magic --> Here <-- "]
Well this is my Problem, if anybody knows which Shell Command this is, or how it could be achieved, pls share your ideas with me.
It might not be a good way, but you can do this:
Open up the folder where the ini file of the skin is.
Right click anywhere on the blank portion of the window and select New>Shortcut.
A dialog box will appear, asking you to locate the file the shortcut should point to.
Inside the text box, paste this:
C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}
Click next. The dialog box will ask you to put a name for the shortcut. Put any name you like and press Finish to create the shortcut.
Replace the LeftMouseUpAction line with this:
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#CURRENTPATH#"name of your shortcut".lnk"]
For example, if your shortcut's name is launch, then the line should be
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#CURRENTPATH#launch.lnk"]
You're good to go!

Mac: Terminal wont let me write/edit a file

I am trying to follow a tutorial on how to create an APP with Ruby on Rails but I am not able to edit a file from terminal!
When I am navigating on a file on terminal the cursor does not even blink. Like if I was on view only mode.
Can anyone help please! Thanks!
The cursor in Apple's Terminal.app does not blink by default. This can be configured in the preferences (under the "Text" tab of a profile, near the bottom of the window), and is a purely cosmetic setting. It has no effect whatsoever on whether a file being displayed is editable.
