Docstrings in google colab - google-colaboratory

What can be the reason behind the absence of Docstrings while writing any function in google colaboratory.
We all know how useful Docstring is while coding and this is the reason I need it many times a day
I tried using the following things:
shift-tab
keeping mouse within parenthesis
using space and then backspace within the parenthesis.
4.ctrl-shift-space
[This is a sample just to show that the mouse is in between parenthesis and there is no Docstring. I have tried for many more functions]
also viewed (Quick Docstrings in Colaboratory),
but none of the methods mentioned worked in my case. Is there any other possibilities or change in some setting required?

Hit tab after opening a bracket
List.apppend(
Then hit a tab
or
you can type List.append?
Even try ctrl + space( I personally used it)

Avoid printing character vbFormFeed as up arrow

I have a program in visual basic that prints some large reports, sometimes with hundreds of pages. There is a lot of encapsulation here, but it boils down to us using the PrintDocument.Print() command to print the document. When it prints, it prints the form feed characters as up arrows (in windows 10). Is there anyway to get these to print as blanks, and just have them start a new page?
Let me know if you need anymore details. This is my first Visual Basic experience and I'm not sure what info would be useful.
Okay, I don't know if anyone else will encounter this, but I fixed it, so maybe my method will help you. There is a PrintPage event handler that fires off when you are printing, and basically it's just a matter of reading a string up to the form feed character, substringing that off to another string and then printing that other string, then culling it from the original string. Making sure you remove the vbFormFeed character from each page.

ways around broken `TextInput` component in react-native

As far as I can tell by default the react native text input component has some inconsistencies on iOS from the normal text input when using it in a controlled way. The examples I've found so far:
the "period shortcut" (pressing two spaces to get a period in text) does not work.
typing a special character and then space does not switch the keyboard back to its normal mode
spelling errors do not have a red underline
often text replacement shortcuts don't work
I'm trying to get around this in the short term and so far the only thing I've found that works is using a multiline input. At this point I'm trying to "hack" the multiline input to work like a singleline, but figured it was also worth reaching out to see if anyone else has a better solution.

How can I read errors and warnings in IntelliJ with a screen reader?

I am using IntelliJ Idea for developing scala and Java programs. I am also a screen reader user.
One of the most useful features that IDEs provide is code linting and displaying error and warnings in your code, along with descriptions. I understand if you are a sighted user, you can just hover your mouse over an erroneous line of code and you get a tooltip with the description.
I haven't been able to figure out how to access this description as a screen reader users. So far, to review errors/warnings I would just build the program and look at the command line output, however this is pretty inefficient compared to just hovering over line of code.
Could someone share a better way of reviewing errors/warnings in IntelliJ using a screen reader? Ideally how to access the error tooltip, or how to access a better UI for reviewing them instead of looking at raw command line output.
I'm not sure about warnings however errors can be accessed in two ways:
Firstly when the caret is moved into a line with error the error text is written into the status bar - the problem with this approach is that for JAB applications screen readers are generally unable to find it, so in case of NVDA object navigation has to be used.
The second way requires your caret to be exactly at the point with error - generally it would be set in the proper place if you've navigated to the line with F2. After that you need to press CTRL+f1 - focus moves to the unnamed pane and the error text is its first descendant so once again you need to employ object navigation. I haven't found any reasonable way to access error texts with JAWS sadly.
Importantly, make sure to turn on screen reader support:
settings (ctrl + alt + S) > appearance and behaviour > Appearance > Support screen readers (requires restart)
Then when your caret is on an error/warning, you can press ctrl + F1 and a dialogue will pop up with the description. Press escape to close it.
If you want to make sure the caret is on an error/warning, use F2 to jump to next error/warning.
As noted by lukaszgo1 in his answer, the description is also printed to status bar, but NVDA cant find it using its normal command, because JAB GUI applications are lacklustre in their implementation of accessibility, however if you want to access the status bar of IntelliJ to read the description you can use an NVDA addon which I developed, that adds a command for reading IntelliJ status bar and fixes list items not being labelled properly.
I actually forgot I asked this until I got an answer recently.
Thanks to lukaszgo1 for his answer.

How to wrap text in quick documentation in IntelliJ?

After Ctrl+Q (Quick documentation) I could not see all text. I have to scroll horizontally to see all content. I could not make the editor to fit the window.
UPDATE:
The problem is only symbol definition, ie. the first line. The description (block text) is wrapped correctly. Actually, I don't want to resize this window as I prefer to keep it as I write in the same position for quick reference. I have to add that my monitor is quite small (15-inch) which is probably causing the problem.
Indeed method signature in the popup is not wrapped. There is a request you can vote for: IDEA-169414.
UPDATE: The documentation popup is reworked in 2018.1 and it should be fixed.
I'm not aware of a way to configure IntelliJ to wrap text in these windows.
I think the quickest way to see the full line in the quick documentation window is to press Ctrl+Q again to make it a little bigger (and center it) or maximize it with Ctrl+Shift+"
Keep in mind that the smallest version (the one that appears after the first Ctrl+Q) can be resized by hovering the mouse cursor over its edge and dragging it. It's going to retain the same size the next time you open it.

Cut and paste out of/ into text fields in a separate window doesn't work

I have a Macintosh Mozilla plugin which puts up a separate window for login information.
It seems to work fine, it gets keyboard events like typing and hitting
return to hit the default button. HOWEVER, it doesn't seem to get cut
and paste events. When I hit Cmd-v, the edit menu flashes, but nothing
happnes.
Is this a problem with my responder chain? Do I have to specially tell
Mozilla that I want these events? or am I likely to have some other
problem that I haven't even thought of?
It turns out the problem is that I'm using cocoa windows inside Mozilla, which isn't Cocoa... fail.
