I am very new to this, and my c9 terminal seems to be frozen. The cursor is blinking, but when I try to enter text, nothing shows up. I have tried exiting my workspace and reloading and it still will not work.
Opening a new terminal tab with the View menu or pressing ALT-T is the best bet to get a working terminal back (as mentioned in the comment above)... you may also find that having selected the broken terminal though, you can't click things in your menus anymore. I've found that pressing the Preview button and then closing it, seems to get the UI to be responsive again.
Supports official response is that you should perform workspace reset using ?reset=1 after your workspace url (which doesn't last or work very well in my experience).
This can happen after pressing ctrl-s, pressing ctrl-q should restore it. See https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/12108/41174 for explanation.
I tried ALT-T and ?reset=1. Nothing helped in my case.
I managed to bring my frozen terminal back to life by closing its tab. I ignored the warning that all processes would stop. Then I clicked on the rightmost tab with a plus sign. In the menu I selected "New Terminal".
You can click at the top right where CPU usage is shown. Then click on "Restart" when the menu appears.

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 was happily printlning to the Console Output in the Assistant Editor of a Swift/Xcode 6 Playground (see this SO thread for more info), until I decided to try clicking the [X] to close the Console Output.
How do I bring the Console Output back??
This eluded me for a while, too. You want View menu -> Assistant Editor -> Show Assistant Editor.
Once you see the pane that holds the console output, if you still aren't seeing the right thing, make any change that will cause a println() to fire and the console output should appear.
Just hover your mouse pointer over the value evaluation area (pane next to your coding area) and click on the plus sign to open the output pane. If you have closed the console output in the output pane, then click anywhere in the coding area and press enter. You will get your console output back.
If the View > Assistant Editor > Show Assistant Editor does not work, simple go to the bottom of the screen and drag the little footer up, so it looks like so:
Closing the Playground and reopening did not bring the Console Output back, but quitting Xcode and reopening did. If there's an answer that doesn't require restarting Xcode I'll go for that, but for now this seems to be the answer :/
Yay for beta software!
You can bring back the console frame by following the steps below:
Open the assistant editor. In the assistant editor, find the playground timeline screen.
In the playground timeline screen, find the bottom right corner box, where it contains "- 31 +" (In my case it says the time elapsed is 31; it can differ according to your code).
Click the "+" / "-" mark in the "- 31 +" box.
There your result, console frame along with the other frames could have come there.
The keyboard shortcut is Cmd + Shift + Y
If you've opened the Assistant editor, either by using Cmd+Option+Enter, or selecting the white/plus icon on the left of a line, and then removed the "Console output" there are some alternatives which may help you in getting it back:
Make sure you don't have any errors in your playground, as they stop execution and thusly any output to the Assistant Editor
Make a change so that playground is re-executed
Force a new run of the playground using Editor > Execute Playground
Change the timer in the lower right, as this also triggers a new run of the playground
Restart Xcode as the playground is a little buggy, and you sometimes just need to restart everything... :-(
Put a /* at the top line of your code area to comment out everything. The Console Output box will reappear at the top of the right-hand panel (the Assistant editor panel).
Some errors may show in the Console box. Ignore.
Now delete the /* and the Console box will stay put.
have just started xcode (version 7.0.1) using swift but had the same problem, to show how the code will appear in console I toggled the little triangle next to the play button on the bottom left of the screen
triangle toggle button
this then open a view in which I could see the results of the code
console opend
hope this helps
There seems to be a a series of problems related to using the keyboard (only) on the mac - as opposed to resorting to the mouse. I am wondering if people have figured out workarounds for some of these issues.
Example 1: Hitting Enter does not work. Hitting tab does not work.Hitting space does not work. Only way to 'accept'/close the dialog is to mouse over and hit ok. Yuck.
Example 2: Using The Option button we can the "Do Refactor has D underlined - so clicking option-D should accept. However it does not work. Once again - only way is to click using the mouse
Example 3: In refactor dialog, one can not hit "return" or tab over or use "alt-r" to accept the Refactor. Once again - using mouse is the only way.
Example 4: In ANY open file dialog you have to type in manually the entire path. This one is confirmed bug by JetBrains, and I wonder if anyone has an idea of workaround
Click on the "option" key and the Mnemonics DO show up. I discovered this by accident.
I just got into the office, and booted up my computer to work on my current project.
I hopped into a class file, and selected (through mouse highlighting) a group of events to delete.
What happened though was it only erased one character. Wondering what happened, I clicked at the beginning of the selection and re-highlighted the text to delete it again.
So i just clicked randomly in the middle of the file, and it highlighted from the beginning of the first selection all the way to where I clicked in the middle.
I have rebooted both VS, the computer and insured that sticky keys and all other "accessibility" software was turned off.
UPDATE
When I click shift and try to manually highlight with my arrow keys, the cursor doesn't even move.
UPDATE
When I click escape from the selection it goes to the search drop down:
alt text http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9591/searchbox.png
The same thing happened to me, I held down the shift key for a few seconds then while still holding it down I clicked anywhere in the open page in Visual Studio, and voilá, my mouse click was back to normal.
I imagine I had unwittingly activated some kind of keyboard shortcut but not sure which
I had this same problem too. I believe I found the solution: check your keyboard options.
Go under tools -> options, under the Environment subtree, click 'Keyboard'. Then, you will see a dropdown with the label "Apply the following additional keyboard mapping scheme". If you select "Brief" from this, you get the keyboard behavior as described. I'm not exactly sure what "Brief" refers to, but it certainly isn't familiar to me.
Change the keyboard layout back to (default) or another one to get the behavior you expect.
Reinstalled VS and now everything is better.
