If I use the Azure Data Studio than I can move the horizontal bar with the Shift + Mouse Wheel.
Why this is not possible on SSMS? Is it possible to activate it?
On my mouse I am able to push the wheel to the left or right to scroll. Give that a shot :)
It is a standard Dell mouse.
Visual-Studio is displaying enlarged character so that it is impossible to use it. How to zoom down the application so that it displays all commands in the window in a readable and usable manner?
Bottom left of each editor is a zoom control:
Clicking on that will allow typing in a new percentage, so selection from the drop down.
How can I reverse the zooming of the storyboard when I press option + mouse wheel?
I know how to change it on my laptop in settings but I don't see an option for Xcode.
Thank you
For zooming you can set double touch mouse in:
Click the Apple icon in left corner of your screen
Go to System Preferences>Mouse> set your zooming in More gestures tab
Is there any way to drag the canvas in interface builder, like the hand tool in Adobe Reader?
There is no hand tool like in Adobe Reader. You can use two-finger scrolling if you have a trackpad. You can use your mouse wheel to scroll vertically if you have a mouse wheel. Otherwise, you just have to use the scroll bars.
I think two-finger scrolling on a trackpad is the best of the suggestions here. If you're not using a trackpad, 'Zoom to Fit' may work for you. In addition to zooming, it also centres the storyboard in the window, which, nine times out of ten, is what I really want to do when I'm wishing I had a hand tool.
There's no default shortcut for it, so short of defining your own, just right- or control-click on the canvas and select 'Zoom to Fit' from the contextual menu. Alternatively, click a scene or view in the document outline to centre on that view. If the view can't fit within the visible workspace, it will automatically be scaled down to fit.
You can scroll using keyboard:
⌘ → Scroll right
⌘ ← Scroll left
⌘ ↓ Scroll down
⌘ ↑ Scroll up
it is very painful, but what can I say, Nice Job Apple! :(
I use keyboard shortcuts to zoom the canvas to 50% or 25% first, then use the cmd-arrow keys. That way, every arrow key has a larger effect.
Zooming to 25% makes the canvas items really small, so you can cover a lot of ground with a few cmd-arrow keystrokes.
Not the same as the hand tool - and certainly not as easy as using a Magic Trackpad - but you can scroll horizontally by holding down the shift key when you use the mouse wheel.
Mousewheel: ↑ ↓
Shift+Mousewheel: ← →
Expression Blend 4 is changing the HorizontalAlignment and or VerticalAlignment when moving TextBlock objects with the keyboard or mouse. How can this be blocked?
I don't think it can be done. Its a visual editor, it will generate code depending on how the view looks after you're performed changes. It will create the best code that will match the layout you created based on what it understands.
It's a pain when it does that..
Go into the XAML view, and modify it by hand after you're happy everything is the right place and is the correct size, by just changing the Alignments and margins.
If you click the object, you will notice guide bars traveling vertically and horizontally from the object. At the end of these you will see little "chain link" icons. You can click these on and off at either end to toggle the alignment.
