Recently switched editor and I would like to know if it is possible in Coda 2 to have indent guides like notepad++, Like this image i found: http://www.freesoftwareworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/notepad-plusplus.png
I am talking about the gray dotted vertical line when tabbing. I hope this is possible in Coda or some plugin i could install for it.
I have tried searching Google but its a hard example to search for and did not find any result.
I'm currently using Coda's 2.5b8 beta and can confirm that this feature is now a part of Coda and should be included in their next release.
In the Preferences>Editor settings, there is a checkbox labeled "Show indentation guides". This is the setting you'll want checked.
As of 03/19/2014, this is only available to those with beta access.
I too want this feature desperately and have searched high and low to find it but with no success.
I have however put in a request with them to include this in there next major release so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm trying to find a way to disable Sublime Text 3's minimap for a single syntax (Markdown) only and I'm not having much luck.
I've found a lot of references to adding "show_minimap": false, to your preferences both here and elsewhere but it doesn't seem to do anything regardless of whether I put it in Markdown.sublime-settings or Preferences.sublime-settings (I am restarting Sublime Text after changing the setting just to be safe).
The View/Hide Minimap menu item works globally but I can't set it for a specific syntax.
In most of the threads I've found I see some people saying that the setting doesn't work for them with other people saying it does but none of them seem to have an answer why and how you might fix it.
Has the syntax for that setting changed or has it simply been removed? I don't see it mentioned in the unofficial documentation.
If it does (still) exist is it something you can apply to a specific syntax or does it have to be a global setting?
Thanks!
I've tried both "hide_minimap": true and "show_minimap": false (alone and in combination) with ST2 2.0.2 and ST3 Build 3056 on XP, and nothing seems to work. I don't know the versions/platforms the answerers/commenters on your linked questions were using, but it seems that either the behavior was somehow removed recently, or it's platform-specific (maybe a little of both). I went back through the changelogs for ST2, ST3 Public Beta, and the ST3 dev builds and found a number of references to the minimap, but nothing to indicate that the functionality you're looking for had been removed intentionally.
We don't know if it makes a difference to the developer, but the community maintains an issue tracker on GitHub for things like this. Feel free to submit a new issue, with as much information as possible about what you've tried and the platform(s) and version(s) used, and we'll see where it goes.
If you're the plugin-writing type, there theoretically is a way around this, though. You could write an event listener that checks the scope of any newly-opened files, and if it matches text.html.markdown (or whichever type(s) of file for which you'd like to have the minimap hidden), it could execute the toggle_minimap command, which is what is fired when you select View -> Hide Minimap.
I'm working on that plugin, but it's not coming along very quickly. I'll report back if I can get it to work.
In OS X, Sublime text 3 try:
CMD+`
In Windows perhaps:
CTRL+`
As seen on the screenshot below, marked by red arrows:
If I use Vertical Tab Split subwindow, I lose the ability to split insert another tab and split it horizontally. Is there any addon or setting I can change to be able to put my code tabs in sort of rectangle-grid?
Just to clarify - I don't want to see the same file contents twice. I want every tab to show a different file. I can't find the reason why such an oversimplification to ide was introduced.
I know it can be solved by opening many standalone windows, but that's hardly an answer for me.
Here's the example of how it looks like in Sublime 2
As you have discovered it's not a feature of the VS shell. For reference, it wasn't possible in VS2010 either.
You can vote for this feature on the Visual Studio Developer Community site - there's a specific request for it here
Something that I have always wanted in TextMate was a different way to open files.
For instance, when I open a file in TextMate, I would love the active tab to default in position 1. Then when I open another tab, that tab should take over position 1, and the rest will shuffle down the list.
Are there any plugins for TextMate that provide this type of functionality?
I don't believe such a plugin exists.
There are two plugins providing supercharged alternatives to the project drawer:
MissingDrawer
ProjectPlus
They don't provide the feature you want but you could try to get in touch with their authors to see if they can add it or point you in the right direction.
The ProjectPlus project has been pretty much dead for years (there are unanswered pull requests from january/february 2011) but there seems to be some action on MissingDrawer.
If you know Objective C you may be able to hack something from their sources.
Whatever the outcome it may work for the "click on a file in the drawer" way of opening a file but not for other ways.
Did you look at TextMate's .plist? I've heard there are some hidden gems there.
I just upgraded to Xcode 4 (from 3.2.4) and while there are a lot of behavior/preference changes I need to get used to, I'd like to get a couple issues handled sooner rather than later.
Can I exclude the delimiters when balancing delimiters? In v3.x, you could balance delimiters and the selection would exclude the enclosing braces. Is that possible with v4?
Is there an equivalent to the advanced find/search available in v3? Used to ctrl-click on a symbol and select search in project which opened a new search window. You could also define different search sets to use when searching. I can't find any similar behavior in v4.
Finally, does anyone know if the Apple developer forums are available to users who have only registered as a developer (but not joined)?
Thanks!
Under the Help menu in Xcode 4 there is an option for Xcode User Guide which covers what you can do with Xcode 4. I have been through it and it seems pretty light so far so it may not have what you need, but it is a good place to start.
I also did a search in Help and quickly found that you can change this setting with a checkbox in Preferences under Text Editing. I've included a screenshot with the option highlighted below.
Xcode 3.2 has implemented cursor-level history for the "Go Forward", "Go Backward" commands. Previously these worked at the file level, so you could navigate back and forth through recent files you've been editing. Now they navigate at a more fine-grained level, through the places within files where you have been editing.
The downside to this is if you navigate backwards through the files and make a minor edit, all of your forward history is wiped out, whereas in the past it used to be easy to return to the file you were working on. It also means issuing a lot more commands if you just want to move through files, since you have to skip through all the edit points within each file.
I can't find anything in the release notes or documentation about this new behavior, so does anyone know if it's possible to get the old 'go back/forward by file' commands in 3.2? If not, does anyone have any tips on other ways of easily navigating recent files in Xcode?
Hold down the option key while you click the forward/backward arrows at the top of the code view, this will use the Xcode 3.0 behavior and go back a file at a time.
I had the same question as well and and Rob's answer on holding Option while clicking the forward/backward arrows works well.
I needed a keyboard shortcut though and I've found that Shift-Option-Cmd-left/right works.
From the comments on this blog entry:
Hold down the Option key to get the old file-based Go Forward/Go Back behavior. We rarely change established behavior like this when adding new options, but in this case, the majority of users considered file-level navigation Broken and location-based navigation Correct, based on their experience in browsers and other IDEs. We chose to give what more people considered the “obvious” behavior the pride of place on the keyboard shortcut, but the old way is still there.
-- Chris Espinosa
But like you guys have said, after every keyboard edit, the forward file history is lost. This is incredibly frustrating to me, as this is a feature I have heavily relied on for years, which is now broken. Is there still no fix?
There are Next File and Previous File commands, however their history is also wiped out after an edit. That seems like a bug to me.
This is plain stupid! What's the reason for suddenly change this ? Shift-Option-Cmd-left/right... great, more stupid shortcuts from Apple. I guess I soon have to use Shift-Option-Cmd-Left-Alt-Enter-N for something I use all the time. Can't they just implement a recent file list on ctrl-tab or something, like the Cmd-tab and the app switcher. Why would I want to grab for the mouse when I'm coding ? Still I have to use it lots in Xcode.
Sorry for my rant :)
