If I use Alt+Drag to make a rectangular selection in PhpStorm, the program moves focus to the menu bar (like when you press just Alt in Windows apps). I then need to do click Esc to restore focus, thus making the short-cut rather pointless.
I've tried checking the Disable mnemonics in menu option at File → Settings → IDE Settings → Window Options but it only hides the underline character in menu items.
Is there a decent way to make rectangular selections with the mouse?
Known issue, please see IDEA-87408

In previous versions of VSCode there was an arrow icon at the top of the panel that could be used to maximize the panel, for instance the terminal. I do not know exactly in which version but that button is now gone and I'm unable to find an equivalent.
My question is: how can I maximize the terminal so it takes the whole VSCode window? Is there any way to get the button back?
Which version of VSCode are you using, and in which OS?
On Mac, and with 1.65.2 (the most recent update by now), I have it in the right corner, near the X button:
Shortcuts
Now talking about shortcuts to make your life easier, there are 2 you should be aware of.
PS: Remember that to change any shortcuts, just go over VSCode Command Palette and type Keyboard Shortcuts to change them.
Maximise panel size
There are no default shortcuts for those, in both Windows and Mac.
If you want to set any, the name of the shortcut is View: Toggle Maximized Panel:
Increasing / decreasing terminal size
Now talking shortcuts, if you want to resize your terminal window, in Mac there's a native shortcut that allows to increase / decrease terminal size with Cmd + Ctrl + Arrow Up / Arrow Down.
There's no default for Windows.
If you want to set / change those shortcuts, they are called Terminal: Resize Terminal Down and Terminal: Resize Terminal Up:
Terminal panel on the side
If you added your panel to either left or right, then the mark to make it fullscreen changes.
After clicking on the arrow below, it'll hide all your files and make the terminal to run in the whole screen for VSCode:
I also got the arrow disappeared, but i manage to bring it back by with command:workbench.action.alignPanelCenter
But i don't know i un align it in the first place
So maybe it will work with you
To get the maximize arrow on the left panel...
Left-click the bottom panel, then choose Move Panel Left
To get the maximize arrow on the bottom panel...
First, press the Customize Layout button
And select Center Panel Alignment
Then move the panel back to the bottom.
Panel can be maximized when centered.
Example: If panel is not centered and the Maximize button is missing you also cannot use the command by hitting
Shift-Ctrl-P View: Toggle Maximize Panel
Fix: run these commands (press Shift-Ctrl-P then begin typing)
First command will enable the maximize button
View: Set Panel alignment to Center
Second command will now work to Maximize (or just press the button that shows up now)
View: Toggle Maximize Panel
Blue and skube have the right answer to the original question. I cannot comment so summarize an answer using commands that can be pasted to verify.
I am unable to perform multi-file text search and replace (in Visual Studio).
In the past, when I opened the "Replace in Files" dialog, there were 4 buttons in the lower right. One of the bottom two buttons allowed me to "Replace All".
The two lower buttons (including "Replace All") are no longer present.
I believe this occurred after I changed some Windows settings so that I could use menus without the Magnifier.
It is not just a matter of the buttons being off-screen because the window is too large (although it is too large - they would be off-screen, if they were present).
I can drag the window and see the bottom, even though the top is then off-screen (I use AltWindowDrag, allowing me to hold the ALT key, and drag by any part of the window, not just the title bar).
The two lower buttons are not present. I'm unable to resize the window - when I try, nothing happens, or the window repositions so that I can see the title bar, but can no longer see the bottom.
The two buttons that are still present (Find Next and Replace) don't have keyboard shortcuts, so I presume that Replace All doesn't either. Nor can I select either of those two buttons using Tab, so probably can't select an "invisible" "Replace All" button that way.
Any help appreciated.
You can use Find and Replace by pressing Ctrl+H and to Replace All just use Alt+A.
I am try to use Owner-Draw menu. The only problem I can not solve is that I don't know how to implement (or enable?) the Menu Accelerator Keys (underline). I am using Win32, and what I am concerning is the main menu, not the submenu. How can I implement or enable underlines when I use Owner-Draw menu?
p.s. The Menu Accelerator Keys is a letter with a underline, which is used when users press Alt to access menu items. It is created by & character such as Save &As.
Use DrawTextEx() to draw the text, it takes care of it automatically. Use the DT_HIDEPREFIX option if you need to hide the underline, DT_NOPREFIX if you need to display the & for some reason.
The & before a char to underline it works also for DrawText(); the DT_HIDEPREFIX works as well. At least this works fine for an owner-draw button control.
I wonder what is the keyboard shortcut for these two combo boxs and specially the right part which list all the members of current class and is very handy for navigating a large class.
I tried to figure it out myself but I do not know the exact names to search for it.
That whole thing is called "Navigation bar" (Window.MovetoNavigationBar) and can be activated by default by pressing Ctrl + F2. There doesn't seem to be a shortcut for the right side of the navigation bar, so pressing the short cut key always takes you to the combo box on the left side. You can use Tab to jump between the combo boxes.
The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + F2 which takes you to the left-hand combo. If you hover over each one in turn (at least in VS2k8) it shows you a tooltip which identifies the two combos as "Types" and "Members", respectively.
Pressing Tab will take you to the right-hand combo and Ctrl + ↓ will expand the combo for you.
Alternative Resharper approach #1
"Go to file member" which is "Alt+\" .
go to link for advanced features
Alternative Resharper approach #2
"Go to Next/Previous Member" with Alt+Down or Alt+Up
this one is very handy and my favorite :
Is there any way to hack visual studio so that it displays the line numbers in smaller font size like the way Notepad++ does? I'm using Consolas at size 12 and the line numbers just look so ugly.
Thanks.
Tools > Options... > Environment Fonts and Colors > Display Items > Line Numbers
You should be able to mess with fonts and sizes there.
EDIT for the people whose hands need to be held:
Follow this click path after you open Visual Studio 2008 (most likely by double-clicking on its icon):
Tools > Options... > Environment Fonts and Colors
"Tools" is in the menu bar at the top of the screen, and is most likely the fourth option from the right. Once you click on "Tools" a menu should come down, and you should click the "Options..." option, which is the very very last one. A new window will pop up with some junk on the right and some more things to click on on the left. Those things on the left determine what options you'll be setting on the right. Click the "Environment Fonts and Colors" option, which should be the second option.
Then, make sure "Show Settings For:" is set to "Text Editor". Click on "Line Numbers" in the listbox that says "Display Items". It is located underneath the "Font (bold type indicates fixed-width fonts):" dropdown box (that textbox with the arrow on the right side that when you click it, a whole bunch of options show up). It should be the 5th option in the "Display Items" box. After you do this, you can adjust your font, font size, color, whatever your little heart desires.
Once you're done, make sure to hit the "OK" button in the lower right corner of the window where you just made all your adjustments. Your new settings should be reflected!
:\
Even though Jason is correct in his directions, he even answered your question in a round about way.
all text editor font is the same
when you have changed one of the font properties.
So in short. No you can not adjust individual fonts for items in the actual text editor, though you can adjust almost everything else through the Option dialog.
Hope this helps.
