I've installed Aptana Sstudio 3. A fewhours later I uninstalled it. Ever since, I have a context menu in FireFox that points to Aptana Studio. How do I remove that context menu?
Thanks.
PS: This is really irritating. I expected a program to remove all traces of itself when uninstalled and not leave all sorts of residual junk in the system.
Right click in FF. Go to configure editors and delete Aptana from the list.

My bookmark window looks like this:
Yesterday though suddenly and out of nowhere there were one check box at the left of each bookmark. Until then I didn't know (or didn't care) that you can enable and disable bookmarks in Visual Studio (2012).
Today the checkboxes are gone. :-( I can still enable and disable them via the menu option Edit -> Bookmarks -> Enable Bookmark. I could assign this function to a shortcut key combo, I guess.
But how can I get the check boxes back?
Update: The same applies to VS2013.
Update: ... and to VS2015.
Update: Also to VS2017.
From my point of view this is a VS-Bug.
My CheckBoxes are also "away" or better seems to be away. When you click the position where the CheckBox actually is it still works.
Means: When I click left to the bookmark "flag" (where check box normally is) the bookmarks still can be enable/disabled.
This has been fixed in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
BTW: This is the original thread in connect.microsoft:
Bookmark Window: Checkbox for enabling/disabling bookmarks is invisible
In my VS2008, suddenly, I can use just letters, no enter, space, delete, backspace, or any other keys.
Any advice how to fix this?
Keyboard is working perfectly in other applications.
Thanks.
I was having this problem several times a day. Make sure the Language setting is set to "Same as Microsoft Windows" under Tools -> Options -> Environment.
ReSharper Options - Environment - General - Clear Caches solved problem.
Close the document that you are working on and reopen it. It works for me when my keyboard seems to be not functioning and i can't type into the current form.
For me the only thing that worked is this solution in this link => https://superuser.com/a/1626086/1055404
Just go to tools -> options -> Environment -> Keyboard and click on reset button on the top right corner
Try to remember line number (better ;) ), close the file you want to modify, then re open it.
It happening sometimes to me and that "hack" works perfectly.
It is realy strange behaviour, in my case even the restart of windows was not helpful. the trick was for me to open the project using "File" menu in VS and then open the .csproj not
.sln file.
Disabling Productivity Power Tools and restarting the IDE worked for me.
Should not that it was very shortly after installing Resharper that the problem occurred, having never experienced it before.
It happens to me when I'm close to run out of RAM. Closing processes (not VS) makes keyboard usable again.
I work under a Virtual Machine, On my case I had to close and open the VS again.
Have you been comparing changes before a push/commit? Check if you have any modal windows open. Had the same problem and when I tried to close VS17, it warned me, that I had a modal window that prevented some user inputs. I pressed "ok" to the window, restarted VS and I could again do inputs. I had the exact same error as you - could insert letters, but couldnt fx delete, "end", "home" etc.
I had the same issue with Visual Studio 2017. I was not able to remove code after typing. I just close the Visual Studio and run as administrator. Its working fine for me.
Set another keyword mapping scheme in the
Tools - Options - Environment - Keyboard
Look at your keyboard shortcuts and make sure there isn't anything set to any of the keys you're trying to use. This happened with me when I installed an extension and messed with some keyboard shortcuts and inadvertently set settings sync to 'c' no matter where it was input.
Close vertical or horizontal group.
The "Navigate To" function (CTRL + comma) does not work on my solution. It gets stuck on "Found 0 matching results" while the little progress bar stays there but is empty.
I searched for some kind of IntelliSense cache file next to the .sln, but all I found was a .suo file which I deleted but it did not help.
Why is it not working?
I had the same problem. I went to Tools > Options... > Environment > Keyboard and clicked Reset. Yes, it will reset any customizations you had, but I figured that was the problem for me (I had an add-in take over Ctrl-, and even when I disabled the add-in it wasn't working). Resetting the keyboard shortcut customizations did the trick.
The command is not "Navigate-To" but actually Edit-GotoAll and it has the keyboard shortcuts of Ctrl-T and the more known one of Ctrl-, (comma).
Reference Default keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio
💡 Solution 💡
Here are the steps to resolve
Verify it is working by trying the opposite keyboard shortcut. If both shortcuts do not work type in "Edit Goto All" in the command search/execute box of Visual Studio.
Does the command work? If it does not work then do a reset via Visual Studio Options:
Then verify or add the keyboard command to the command in the mapping after the reset.
Type in "Edit.Goto" in the Window commands containing
Then selected Edit.Goto.All:
If you do not see the mapping (#3)
Add the keystroke in the box where bubble 4 is above and click Assign.
Set OK as shown on bubble step 5.
This is for Chinese user only. This is because of the Sogou Pinyin (搜狗输入法）occupy this shortcut system wide. And it won't release if you just uninstall it.
Go to here to disable it: Language->Advanced settings->Change language bar hot keys
Uninstall it is not working, you need disable that setting then uninstall it.
The Navigate To Feature does not use an on disk cache so that shouldn't be the issue.
The only thing I can think of that would cause this behavior is a bad Visual Studio install. I hate making this suggestion but have you tried repairing the install?
Tools > Options... > Environment > Keyboard and clicked Reset.That will work.If you installed the latest version/framework or re-sharper of visual studio then it may happens...
I just got the same problem and solve it by following the instruction I found here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/2bbab30e-3188-406b-b492-eabf8c2fbc0b/
For Chinese users, if you are using Sogou Pinyin, you can turn off Ctrl + Comma thru this.
Use spyxx_amd64.exe in this answer should work for most cases. https://stackoverflow.com/a/43645062/1179950
However, this didn't work for me... For my case, which is caused by language keyboard hotkey setting in Windows. By Sougou Pinyin though I have uninstalled it..
You can unset this in Control Panal (Windows 10):
Region&Language -> Advanced keyboard settings -> Language bar options ->Advanced Key settings panel
Unset all hotkeys you wont use!
For traditional Chinese users, you muse use the old version of new Cangjie.
Ctrl+Comma
I've looked everywhere on how to turn off the Tag Navigator at the bottom of my Visual Studio 2008 and can't any info!
Since installing ReSharper a group of us have come across a bug where it will reset your mouse cursor to 0,0 when you rollover a tag in the Tag Navigator and since I can't find any info on that bug I just want the Navigator to go away, but can't seem to even turn THAT off...
Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction!
This isn't so much an answer but a warning of a false answer. I have this exact same problem and I was sent this link. After trying it out Visual Studio crashed and after it had recovered the tag bar was still there.
Registry hack to "remove" the design/split/source bar
This should help to eliminate the mouse cursor reset issue in the Tag Navigator:
Open regedit and find the following key:
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\HTML Editor
Modify the following entry:
ShowTagToolbar = -1
Then restart Visual Studio.
I was messing around with my toolbars and menus in Visual Studio 08. I noticed that they were behaving strangely. When I closed the "Customize" dialog, my 'Tools' and 'Help' menu were gone (perhaps more, I can't remember what else was there). I don't want to reset everything, as I have been curtailing the VS environment to my exact liking for over a year now, and I have never saved those settings. I have lots of custom commands quirk fixes all around. I don't relish starting over. I guess the lesson is that I should be saving my settings regularly.
Does anyone know how to get the menus back? I didn't even know it was possible to remove the actual menus (not toolbar items)!
Thanks,
Ryan
You could try exporting settings from a clean install, find the section with the menus and only import those? I believe the settings file is registered to visual studio so double clicking it should start the import process.
Not to mention, this would become good practice for exporting and backing up your own settings...
Try to right click on a toolbar click on Customize. Then you can select Menu Bar and click on reset. Not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try.
You can reopen the toolbar by going to "Window > Reset window layout".
I've only tested it with VS 2019.
BUT, IDK if that's what you're asking about...
