Can someone tell me what this is? Also, how did I get it there? Thanks!
The first is a "find" indicator. (I don't know the actual technical term.) When you do a "quick find " or "search" your code for a particular term this indicator shows up on the line where the term was found.
As far as the second one I believe indicates a change in the code. When you make a change to the line it will turn a different color, then when you save the file it will turn green. Again I am not sure of the technical term.
The green line indicates a change that you have made since you last opened the file that has been saved already. It's yellow before saving. I don't know about the other one.
The green/yellow part shows a map of your source file. The green part changes to yellow when you've made changes to those lines.
(edit) I don't know about the other one, but it looks like it could be the next step in execution?

Very frequently, I will be looking for a specific section of code where something happens, and will reach there by starting at a function at a high level of abstraction and go lower by successively opening the code of called methods. Eventually I will find what I'm looking for, and I would like to save the path that I took to get there - which is pretty much what the call stack would be if I had put a breakpoint in that code and stopped here at runtime, except that I'm just inspecting the code.
I'm aware the little arrow next to the "Back" arrow lets me somewhat get that in the UI and I can then take a screenshot of what I'm shown, but that's not a fantastic solution. The names of the functions are trimmed (leading to cases where it could match several functions), the line number is seldom shown (only if there was no code at that line), and I would much rather have the text format to begin with so I can copy the function names into a search tool rather than type them from the screenshot later.
So I was wondering: is there a way to dump the navigation history in Visual Studio ?
Where I could for ex. ask for the last 50 cursor positions, and get the file, file path, line number & possibly the code at that line in text format or some more intelligent thing, should the IDE support that.
Thanks.
PS: I found this very similar question Is there extension for viewing navigation history in Visual studio? that's >5 years old and didn't have a satisfying answer, so I'm trying my luck again, hoping things have changed since if there was no solution back then.
I seem to be unable to turn off box/column select. In other words, if I try to select across multiple lines, I only get a box select, as opposed to the usual behavior where entire lines are selected as I add lines.
I am using version 1.48.2 on a mac.
I must have pressed option+shift or some other such code inadvertently and now I can only select boxes. I have looked at my keyboard shortcuts but I don't know what to look for...
Unfortunately searching for solutions via google or SE only produces results for how to turn it on, not off! I don't know what the opposite mode is. "line select" seems to be just to select the current line, not for entire lines across multiline selections.
example of current behavior. I want the entire line "spaceship..." to be selected.
Just found the answer myself looking for something else. There is a "Text Editor" setting called "Editor: Column Selection" that controls this. The default is off, but I must have turned it on somehow without realizing it. Thanks to anyone who may have taken time to read this....
Cmd+8 is the shortcut to toggle the setting
I installed DataGrip and spent a couple hours getting rid of bells and whistles that distract me from editing sql, like the lightbulb. I'm down to this one that for my life I can't figure, so when I move around with the caret, the editor comes up with what it thinks is the current statement and draws a thin border around it, say if it's a line ending in a semicolon, it will border just that line, but if I have several statements each not ending in semicolon, it will think they all make up a single one and draw the rectangle around the whole thing. This in itself is distracting, plus if I hit Enter within the border, it will indent differently according to what it thinks the whole thing is. I just want Enter to go to a new line at the 0, leftmost position.
Is there any way to turn the whole feature off completely?
Apart from that, does anyone know if it's possible to get DataGrip to display the number of rows affected after an INSERT or UPDATE, like most other tools do?
I'm using it with Postgresql. Thank you in advance!
cpp_developer! (By the way, what do you think about CLion? :)
There are several questions in one, let's get answers one by one.
Lightbulb: there is no UI for getting rid of it, but there is the way. It is described in this ticket: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-94381
TLDR:
Following line should be added to the
$IDE_CONFIG_HOME/options/editor.xml then:
<option name="SHOW_INTENTION_BULB" value="false" />
Line showing the current statement.
It can be removed, like any other color/font thing: A small helpful action. For now it is only present in the Find Action menu (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+A), but as usual, you can assign any shortcut to it.
This action will navigate you to the settings which are relevant to the context under the caret. If there are several of them, just choose one. In your case "Statement to execute". Then remove it or make white.
Smart indenting. Just turn this off:
Number of INSERTed and UPDATEd rows can be found in Output tab. But please, run them in batch mode -> context menu "Run %your_console%.sql"
I would like to show a vertical line, next to the linenumbers, in my visual studio 2010 between parentheses when my courser is between those 2 parantheses.
I alread had that option enabled, but somehow its gone.
edit: is nobody using that feature? one of the very nice things when you are debugging
Is no one using that feature??
Edit: so last push!! there must be a way to see where the space between parentheses starts and ends.
edit: here is an image
EDIT: I still haven't found what i'm looking for. VS is so powerful there must somewhere an option or a plugin. It is really useful when you can see where your { begins and ends }.
Anyone a clue?
I haven't seen the horizontal line feature since 2008. I hated it so I haven't been looking for it either.
You should however be able to see the braces being highlighted when your cursor is on them. If not, perhaps you've changed your theme or possibly some colors in your Options menu.
Here's what you should try:
Tools ->
Options(down at the bottom of the drop-down) ->
Environment ->
Fonts and Colors
Make sure the Show settings for: selector is showing Text Editor.
The one(s) you're looking for are Brace Matching (Highlight/Rectangle).
Attempt to change it to your choosing and see if the changes take place. If not, reset to the defaults and re-check it's enabled.

Another suggestion that can be handy to get a temporary look at the extents of the body you can hover your mouse just along the margin it will highlight the most nested body. You may have to do some tweaking of your colors to make it vibrant. I use a darker color and have my code block highlighting white. I know it's not what you're looking for but it might be somewhat of a band aid.
I recently started using Xcode for developing. It's pretty neat. By accident I happened to see one of its features. The feature only highlights the block of code I am currently working on. Other codes are covered with light grey. I do not know how to get that effect again. Can anybody help? Thanks!
You probably hovered your mouse over the line number bar like this:
You may be referring to the "focus ribbon" on the left side between the code and line numbers.
Refer to: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/Xcode4UserGuide/Editing/Editing.html
(Figure 3-10)
This is called Code Folding Focus.
If you want to turn it ON or OFF as you please, do as follows in Xcode/Preferences:
Then, assign the key of your fits.
