This seems like a petty question, but this situation is starting to get annoying:
When I'm working in VS 2008 and I want to get context-sensitive help, I highlight the term/keyword/window that I want help on, and I push F1. It brings up the MSDN help window, but it always gives me a "Page not Found"/broken link on the start, and I have to go to the search page and search on the term that I'm looking for, which is annoying for starters, and sometimes the term is ambiguous and I have to go hunting through tens of different options before I get the right help page.
Anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Have you tried messing with your environment-help-online options? You may want to try: "try online first, then local" or "try local only, not online". I don't have this problem, so I can't verify this as a solution, but it's something you may want to try.
Solution (sort of...)
I switched to using the "Integrated Help Viewer" instead of the "External Help Viewer", and now it works. I still don't know why the external viewer doesn't work, and I'll give answer credit to whoever can help me set up the external viewer properly...

Sorry I really don't know how to describe my question.I'm new to study Gin:
When I run "go build xxxx" in Goland, like:
the console shows some unusual words:
I think the cause is that:Gin wants to show us some colorful words but the console couldn't parse them well so it show us the origin code of those color text.
How to make sure the console gives the parsed words?

when inserting image your markup help suggests using CTRL+G.
Nothing happens with CTRL+g but if I use CTRL+G (caps) then Microsoft edge starts talking to me, reading from the top of you web page down. I went to Microsoft's community forum and and was told basically that is how CTRL+G works but was unable get an answer on how to turn that off or to rename the key to something else. I don't like edge but I do use it when I need active-x for forums as I keep chrome locked down tight. Is there a way to stop this? I usually get good answers a Microsoft but "that is how it works" was not expected.
My system is printing symbols like (♠ ◘ ☻) these when i try to move cursor using alt key, which is causing problems while programming. Please help.

I couldn't figure out a way to fix this with just windows, but I found that you can get around this with Autohotkey.

I know that sound like a stupid question, and we can find many answer on google.
However, i've been trying for one hour and it still not working.
The question is prety simple, i'm coding on visual studio code on Mac OS.
And i want to instert tab when i press tab, and not 4 spaces.
It it supposes to be very simple :
Go on "code"->"preferences"->"users stting"
And add :
// Insert spaces when pressing Tab.
"editor.insertSpaces": false
Into : settings.json
However i have no clue why, but this is not working.
(I've save it, close visual, reboot mac, still not working)
Does anyone has any clues to help me?
Thanks a lot.

--> One thing is missing - did you try it with a completely new file? ;)
I just tried it, had the same issue and almost thought it is a bug, but it seems to be expected behavior as there is another setting editor.detectIndentation which is true by default.
If the indentation is detected then the detected value takes precedence over your defined setting. At first this seemed odd as others also reported in a GitHub issue. But the analogy with CR/CRLF in this issue makes sense.
So as a quick fix you could set editor.detectIndentation to false or convert your existing indentation to tabs so that the next time you open the file the proper detection is done.
Hy everybody,
I'm wondering if it's possible to add a new button via C++ or C# to windows 7 explorer "context strip"(don't know if this is correct name) - like on picture below.
My reason for this is because a lot of times I'm switching on&off "Show hidden files, folders and drives" functionality under Tools->Folder option->View. Therefore i want to simplify this process with a click of a button.
I was looking into ShellExecteEx function, but I am not sure I can do that. Can Anybody direct me in right direction?
thanks,
regards
I highly recommend using AutoIt for this task. Second URL comes complete with examples of how to insert buttons in various programs - however, be sure to read complete topic for misc. updates to the provided code.
See:
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9517
Btw: I misread topic to begin with; gui 'context' related material in Windows is often taken to deal with right-click menus
Edit: limit on urls for new users on Stack Overflow mean I had to cut out some of less essential links - google away.
To answer part of the question, I think it is possible as for quite some time we've seen small programs to add a "New Folder" button to the explorer. I think those still works with Win 7.
Look at http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/StExBar for example
[Edit] Forgot to clarify that Source Code for StExBar is on Google Code
