I am stepping through some code in VS2010. I noticed this icon in the side bar:
And since the apprearance of that icon, I am unable to use F10 to loop though code.
I tried changing many settings but nothing helps. I changed project properties, reset VS to default, but to no avail.
Im sure is a simple answer, but I am just not able to figure it.
UPDATE: Only happens if loop contains TRACE macro
If you want to remove bookmarks, Check in tools for "Clear Bookmarks" or here is the shortcut to remove all bookmarks "ctrl+k then ctrl+l"

while having used Java and PHP most of the time in my programming "carreer", I am now trying to learn C++ more in-depth. For that, I am using CLion as my IDE - mostly because I am very familiar with phpStorm and IntelliJ IDEA and I don't want to "learn" a new IDE in addition to learning a new language.
Now, I have hit the problem, that CLion does not take my current Clipboard content when pressing Ctrl + V. The snippet was copied from the Browser (Firefox 41.0.1) and it neither works with code copied by Ctrl + C nor with code copied by rightclicking and then selecting Copy.
It seems like the IDE has problems with getting the Clipboard content from the outside, because when copying and pasting inside the IDE, it works perfectly fine. Only when trying to paste something from another program, it ignores it and pastes something that I copied inside the IDE before.
Do you have any clues on how to fix that? Is it a bug or did I mess up something in my settings or somewhere else?
Clearing "Paste from History" (Ctrl + Shift + V) worked for me.
Same issue with Chrome version 47.0.2526.106.
It seems like that the problem happens when more then one Clion project window is open. After resetting the clion clipboard the problem will not occur during the session again. But after starting a new Clion session the bug is back in place.
Added on 27th december: It also happens when you are only working with one window and stored 5 values in the clion clipboard.
For me works only using middle mouse button for paste.
There sometimes is a notification when you try to use several shortcuts that this is already taken by some VIM Commands and if you want to disable this. Selecting yes didn't change a thing for me.
But using that hint, going to File>Settings>Plugins, disabling IdeaVIM and than restarting did the job.
Fabrizios answered on the duplicate item something, that was partly helpful for me: Ctrl+Shift+V brings up the clipboard history)
This still left me with the actual problem (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and more not working).
When I want to close or open a function in xcode I always accidentally add a breakpoint, that is very annoying so I wonder if there is a way to remove/disable it. I have searched for a solution but they are just people asking how to remove a breakpoint. I have checked through all the settings but not found anything. Or maybe there is an option to change how to add breakpoints like double click to add as in eclipse?
Here is an image of what Im talking about:
I don't see any thing in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode.plist to help. But there are always the keyboard shortcuts for Fold and Unfold
When I Ctrl+Shift+F in VS2010, it puts whatever is near my cursor in the "Find what:" box - this is very irritating and never what I want.
Is there any way to make it default instead to the last thing I searched for?
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Find and Replace -> Automatically populate Find What with text from the editor
If you uncheck this option it will default to the last thing you searched for.
an nice. Glad i found this...
two work arounds i figured out... if you do want to search in selected text only sometimes but not all the time...
Mouse: Click back on the page and ctrl+A (its faster than having to grab the mouse and clicking the tiny drop down.)
Keyboard only: Well you cant technically do this, with any one command from http://visualstudioshortcuts.com/14/ but you can do this.
while find is active, hit
alt+F6
to get out of find and then hit
esc
to activate the document then
ctrl+A
to search the whole document
I am glad to find how to turn this off, but i am used to this keyboard commands now. So maybe i will leave it on.
if you don't learn to use the escape key in VS, especially for intellisense you are going to seriously drive yourself crazy.
On Eclipse, whenever I double click a tab, it fills the workspace (by hiding all other views like project tree, console, etc).
Is there any way to do this on Visual Studio?
Note: i'm not looking for full screen, just want a way to declutter the workspace but still have access to menus.
Are you after this?
Set shortcuts for the Window.AutoHideAll function and for the Window.ResetWindowLayout function. In order for the ResetWindowLayout to work, you have to export your settings (make sure you select "All Settings") with all windows expanded and then import them again.
ResetWindowLayout will restore all windows to the way they were the last time you imported your settings.
Not with double click on tab, but you can do the same with Shift+Alt+Enter key combination.
This keyboard shorcut was changed to F11 from 1.9.1 vscode version.

I was looking for that, as well, and I now just got used to using full screen (Shift+Alt+Enter), which hides a little too much, which you seem to think, as well, but does in fact still show the menus.
Looks like drby got it on this one. Just FYI. I pinged the VS team to ask about this and here is the response:
"There is no way to reverse the command automatically. For it to work as a toggle we would need to save which toolwindows were auto hidden and which ones were not when the command was run, which we don’t do (it would cause lots of interesting persistence questions, across profiles and VS sessions)."
The idea of a "Unhide All" command is what I suggested. So if you hide all then you can unhide all as well. There might be some windows you don't want to unhide but the 1 or 2 extra windows is better than not having an unhide IMHO.
I still have to use the VB6 IDE.
Unfortunately every time I start the IDE one of the buttons of the toolbar disappears. Almost always it's the Run button which goes first. Sometimes also items from the menu bar or the context menus are missing.
I have to reset the toolbars almost every time I start the IDE (Which is quite often during a typical work day). Recently I bought an IDE plugin which modifies the menu bar and requires a restart after every reset of the menu bar. (Otherwise it would crash)
I could live with just the resetting, but the restart is really annoying.
Is there something I can do?
To solve this problem:
Unload all add-ins.
Right-click on a toolbar and select the Customize... menu.
For each toolbar click the Reset... button (6 times in total).
Reload the add-ins.
For me action 3 was enough.
cf. MZTools faq (thanks to Andrea Bonafini), but these steps are originally from MSDN
It sounds like you recently bought a bad add-in. Can you get your money back? Every time I've had problems with disappearing controls in the IDE it has been due to a bad add-in. You can find out which one it is by disabling them, one by one, each time using the IDE for a while, then re-enable it and disable the next one, until the problem stops.
I still use one problematic add-in. It exhibits behavior similar to yours in that it makes the run button disappear. I avoid the problem by only loading the add-in when I need it, use it (it formats code), then I immediately unload it. If you don't use the functionality of the add-in that often, this could be an acceptable workaround.
Yea, i have this same problem with one of the add-in. But if you reset it. Shut the IDE down and open it back up again without doing anything, the IDE shouuld be able to retain the previous clean setup.
It's just guest, but:
Each graphical element on IDE (like button) is kind of resource (i.e. GDI handle).
Maybe your VB app doesn't manage these resources good enough and after sometime VB IDE cannot redraw elements like buttons (run is used often).
Also, maybe some IDE add-in is in conflict with some other add-in/application and breaks something -- I have this problem with Clip-X and MZ-Tools.
I had a similar problem when I was setting up the IDE to use for the first time, though it may not be helpful if you've been using the same IDE for a while. When I first started using the IDE, I would modify the toolbars and then close the IDE. When prompted if I wanted to save the open file I always said No, since the file was just a dummy file I was using to open the IDE with. Turns out the IDE was saving the toolbar preferences with that file, so they never got saved.
Try opening a file, customizing the UI, saving the file, then closing without modifying the code. This was the solution for me.
I've tracked down the problem and as suggested it was an add-in.
The problem went away as soon as I disabled the Visual Basic 6 Resource Editor.
How to restore your VB6 IDE without reinstalling:
Run Regedit
Find the entry for Visual Basic 6.0
Export your settings in case things
go wrong
Delete the 'UI' setting
Run VB and you will have your popup
menus back
The 'Find' button disappeared from my VB6 toolbar forcing me to select the Edit menu to use Find. I had two add-ins enabled: vbCodePrint and ResourceEditor; so I did away with both of them, turned VB6 off and back on, then put both add-ins back in and my button returned.
If you're still using the VB6 IDE, and I do amongst others, then this problem is not likely to have gone away. I use VB6 in Windows 10, and the problem is still there. But it doesn't affect me anymore.
I have had this problem a few years into using VB5 and VB6. Today, if I start VB6 directly, it may work fine the first time, but buttons will go missing the second time -- ALWAYS.
My solution, which I developed from day one:
Do whatever needs to be done to restore all your buttons. Save the Visual Basic 6.0 registry settings to a file, as suggested previously, and only keep the UI entry. Sometimes, you have to exit VB6 for it to post changes to the registry. So if this doesn't work the first time, try exiting before saving the settings.
I use my own program to launch VB6, which automatically copies my VB6 registry backup back into the registry -- by calling "RegEdit.exe /S D:\VB\IDE_Fix.reg" -- before I launch the IDE . This works every single time, and requires no action on my part.
If you read this, that means you are a programmer. You can make this work by yourself.

Reinstall,clean registry and update with SPacks etc....
