Remmina sessions on different screens - rdp

Can Remmina run concurrent sessions (to separate remote hosts) on different monitors?
eg:
Session 1 (connected to a Windows box) on my left monitor
Session 2 (connected to a Linux box) on my right monitor?

There's an answer in the Remmina GitLab issues
Preferences -> Appearance -> Tab interface -> None
There are other options for grouping, but "None" will use no tabs at all and everything will be a new window. You'll probably also want to untick "Always show tabs" as well.

Switch between windows of the same pane in IntelliJ

I'm trying to find a keyboard shortcut to switch between the parts of a splitted pane, e.g. in the Debug pane between the Frames list and the variables list (in the default layout), or in docker view between the containers list and the window with logs, properties, variables, ports etc. for that container as in the screenshot below.
I know I can switch between the tabs of a tabbed window (between Logs, Properties, Environmental Variables etc. in the screenshot below) using ctrl+Page Up\Down but I can't find a way to switch focus to that window if I'm currently "in" the container list.
There is an open request to support it for the debugger:
IDEA-167805 Keyboard navigation in debug tool window
Related requests for Docker:
IDEA-155350 Docker. Container tabs. Switching tabs doesn't work via context menu and doesn't work for two tabs via keyboard
IDEA-155835 Docker. Provide possibility for deleting images/containers using keyboard.
Feel free to submit your request in YouTrack so that it's implemented in one of the future updates.

How to quickly change from one monitor to a next one in Gnome3.16

I use Gnome 3.16 under archlinux and would like to know if there is a quick way to change the integrated monitor with an external one via HDMI. This is the way I have to go (in pictures):
First, you have to open the monitor menu (here in spanish).
Second, you need to open the submenu (where you can choose out of four options: Make this monitor the primary, secondary, show the same content, or turn it off) of your external monitor and choose the option to show the same content in both monitors.
Third, you need to open the submenu of your integrated monitor and turn it off.
Does someone know an easier and faster way to do it, i.e., that as soon as you plug in the HDMI cable it automatically switches to the external monitor while turning off the integrated monitor and vice versa?
This is scriptable with xrandr. You can use the friendlier arandr to generate scripts that call xrandr. Run arandr twice, once for each config you wish to keep. Do a “Save As” to save the two xrandr scripts. Then you simply call the appropriate script whenever you want to switch monitors/configs. I name my scripts like xr1 and xr2 and have a hot-key menu (as part of window manager) to quickly invoke them (or any other script).

SSMS SQL SERVER Management Studio 2012 startup freeze

I have a strange situation. IT installed SSMS on my laptop and it runs well the first time, connected to my SQL servers remotely etc. But then it's frozen. I forced quit and then started SSMS again. Now it's totally frozen, no popup window at all to enter the server-connection text string. Then I did a force quit and got a pop up window (see it here ).
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio has detected that an operation is blocking user input. This can be caused by an active modal dialog or a task that needs to block user interaction. Would you like to shut down anyway?
Has anyone seen this before? My IT department has no clue.
Often this is due to the new connection dialog being off screen (usually due to changing monitor setup e.g. 1 to 2 monitors or resolution change etc).
If so the really easy fix (if your connection dialog just needed approval without changing fields) is :
Focus on SSMS and Hit Enter/Return
..or the easy fix (if above does not work - as your last connection is not ready to go) is:
Alt Tab to SSMS
Alt + Space - context menu
M - select Move (in offscreen context menu)
Arrow Key(s) - to move it back onto screen
As per answers here from #Eirik Toft and here from #Lee Chetwynd
Fixed an issue which presented the same on my machine today by renaming a entry in my registry:
After some digging there seems to be multiple issues that can produce the same error (Application, settings, registry). This blog entry covers it pretty well:
http://www.armedia.com/blog/2012/08/sql-server-management-studio-freeze/
In my case deleteing the SQL server management studio folder under AppData ( c:\users\%userName%Appdata\raoming\microsoft\ ) didn't work.
However I was successfully after deleting / renaming the regisitry entry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server]
(update)
Worked out the underlying issue on my laptop - was using additional 2 screens with much higher resolutions which caused windows / SSMS to open up the connect to new data source dialog off all of them. If your using multiple screens try returning to just use the native laptop screen to see if you can find the dialog that SSMS is waiting on your input for.
I just had this same situation, with two additional screens connected to my laptop. SQL Server Management Studio was opened on the third screen, with the modal dialog nowhere to be seen.
Two options:
Press tab three times and enter. This cancels the dialog. Now you can move the window to another screen.
Set Windows to only use one or two screens. SSMS opens on the first and should still open there when you move back to using three screens.
When SSMS is on your primary or secondary screen, the modal dialog opens on the first and should be usable.
It was because multi screen display. Turning off multiscreen to single one resolved it. Reenabled multi screen display after ssms started working
In my case, "Run as Administrator" option worked like charm. I was accessing my server screen with the windows RDP. And when I open SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studio 2010 user hangs at the moment and wont operate unless sign off r disconnected by administrator.
But when I set compatibility mode of both the application to the "run as Administrator", it starts working fine.
the problem also occurs if you have a touch screen. I fixed this by disabling the local thouch screen when I switch to RDP.

IntelliJ IDEA secondary windows lack a menu. How can i enable it?

I'm a frontend developer and I have a multi-monitor setup. I have HTML code on one monitor and CSS code on another monitor.
To achieve that, I drag a tab out of IntelliJ IDEA window, so that the tab opens in a separate window.
My problem is that the secondary window lacks a menu:
Menu access hot keys (e.g. Alt+V) won't work. I can't make use of the main window's menu either because when I click it, the focus switches to the active tab of the main window.
How do I access the menu when I'm working in IDEA's secondary window?
This feature is currently not available in IntelliJ IDEA.
The alternatives I could think of to do what you want:
Consider raising a feature request on http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/
Do you think it's possible that you might not miss the menu on the detached tab if instead of accessing functionality through the menu, you did the same through keyboard shortcuts?
Personally, being a keyboard junkie, I have not felt the lack of a menu on the detached tab.
Even though Eclipse allows you to create a new window for the same workspace, I had some issues with it ( for eg: if you set a breakpoint in a file in Window 1, and started a debug session from Window 2, then the file would be re-opened in Window 2 when the breakpoint is hit) and feel that the Intellij IDEA implementation works better.
(Warning! The most Hacky suggestion) Assuming you are using Windows, there are a number of ways in which you could extend the single IntelliJ window across the two monitors and then instead of detaching a tab, you could do a 'Split Vertically' in that single window. With the slider between the tabs positioned just right, it will seem you have two windows opened with each of them having a menu.
To extend a window across two monitors see : How can you maximize a window on to dual monitors in Windows 7 or use one of the multi-monitor tools listed here or here ( I vaguely recall that it was the latter 'zbar' that I used to extend a window during my eclipse days).
Believe it or not, I have done this with Eclipse when I was sick of guessing where the file-with-the-breakpoint would open up :)

Detect Settings Charm is Opened or Not in Windows Store Apps?

I just want to know is that Any other way to get the Settings Charm is active or not.
Because, In my app, the Settings of an app is in the settings charm(If user presses Settings btn in App will leads to open Settings Charm)
In my case, Instead of using the settings btn. user may use short cut (WIN + C) (or) Moving the Mouse to the Right corner of the Screen. to enter into the settings pane means how could i know that?
Is that any way to find that????
Tap in to CommandsRequested on the SettingsPane
Occurs when the user opens the settings pane. Listening for this event lets the app
initialize the setting commands and pause its UI until the user closes the pane.
Now detecting that it's closed again would amount to checking that your window is again activated - see this thread.
