Adobe Photoshop (2020) - Is there any chance to programmatically change position of "Options/Control Bar" OR edit a "Custom Workspace"? - photoshop

So…
My (very) old 16:10 (1920 x 1200px) monitor died a couple of days ago and I had to replace it in a hurry with a 16:9 one (1920 x 1080px).
As I already suspected those missing 120px have caused some troubles in most of my "custom workspaces", as I usually prefer having "options/control bars" at the bottom of the screen.
I managed to easily solve the issue in Illustrator, but not in Photoshop.
So, I've tried to edit my Custom Workspace in TextMate, but there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the corresponding ID for the "options/control bar".
Since I saved ALL tools behaviors, shortcuts and other stuff within my Custom Workspace, it doesn't seem an option to rebuild one from scratch (unless I'm not sure there are no other solution, obviously).
I've also tried to dig for an Applescript (I'm on MacOsX 10.13.6) to «tell System Events to tell Photoshop to tell option/control bar»… "Hey! Move yourself UP by 120px!".
But, still, I have NO idea how to identify "options/control bar" in a programmatic way.
Wrapping it all up…
"I need to move up the Options/control bar, but I can't see it!"
And that's it… Hints?!
TIA! :)

Ok, guys.
Solved in the less "programmatically" way I can think of.
I just sent the workspace file (".pwd") to a friend who has a 16:10 monitor, asking her to load it in PS, choose it as a workspace, put the "Option/Control Bar" at the top and save it all.
Then I loaded it back to my PS and… done!
Thanks anyway ;)

Where are the project settings for Codenameone in IntelliJ IDEA

I am new to codenameone and I am thinking about moving a large project from our current environment to it. So, I wanted to run a few tests but I already failed by setting up a project, since I do not find the place where to set it up :)
So I used Google and found a Video "HOW DO I - CREATE A BASIC HELLO WORLD APPLICATION & SEND IT TO MY DEVICE USING INTELLIJ/IDEA" and thought "Yeah, exactly what I need!". But when you start the video, one of the first sentences is "We are going to use Eclipse....", so I guess someone has published the wrong video.
Nevertheless, can someone tell me, where I can make the proper project settings (like in the mentioned video on 07:50) in IDEA ?
Type CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + S to open the Project Settings dialog box.
You can read more about it here.
I guess your answer fits for Windows Systems.
Nevertheless, on OSX you have to go to the preferences and there to "Other Settings" and there you can do all adjustments.
Personally, I hoped that they included the possibility to create multiple apps from one project (like e.g. Adobe AIR) :(

In Intellij IDEA how do I reload file content's from disk?

In vim I can type :e and reload a file's contents from disk overwriting any changes I've made. It's a nice way to reset in case I've gotten lost or just want to undo all my changes. This obviously doesn't take into account any kind of refactoring, I just want to nuke all changes to buffer. Not even closing and reopening a tab will work.
How do I do this with Intellij IDEA? I'm using Intellij IDEA Ultimate 13 and I've disabled any kind of auto save.
File > Synchronize (Ctrl+Alt+Y)
It will load the file from the file system. If you have unsaved changes, it will ask if you want to discard them.
⌥⌘Y - Synchronize for Mac users
What I do in a similar situation:
Simple - Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+Z many times to quickly navigate the editing history
VCS rollback - either for the whole file or for the area being edited (by clicking green areas on the left)
Local History. Well, yes, for you case it's granularity is not sufficient, so first might be an option
There is also an option to put a label into Local History if you need to rollback to a specific point in time.
For those who use autosave - it is being triggered when code editor loses focus. So doing Alt-Tab during long editing without compiling or running the code makes sense.
Open the file in another editor, make an insignificant change and save it. PHPStorm will ask you what to do because the file system and in memory copies of the file have diverged. Click "Load File System Changes".
Note, I was unable to use my undo history as it had become corrupt.
Since what I want isn't really possible I wrote an extension to do it for me:
https://github.com/btipling/DiskRead/
I'll add it to the Jetbrains plugin repository, it's called "DiskRead".
I wrote a blog post about how I created this if anyone is curious.

Aptana - remove side by side editor windows/tabs

Recently I was using Aptana to view multiple files side by side. The unfortunate thing is that now I can not remove the editor (side by side) windows that are marked by red arrows. Also, you can obviously see that I have been trying to drag them away which is making the problem worse. I have tried to Google around but have found no solution. I can uninstall and reinstall Aptana, but if there is a fix I would rather know it and not have to go through a reinstallation process each time an issue like this arises.
Also I would like to add that I may be having trouble Googling the solution since I am not 100% sure on the name of the "editor tabs". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My reputation is too low so here is a image link of my issue:

The answer is extremely simple. If you ever run into the issue as shown in the picture above, simply open new files and drag them into the empty spaces that the extra "editor windows" are located. From there just close (x) out the window and it will remove the extra windows.

How to "Turn On" Version Editor in Xcode 4?

How to do so?
What URL is the documentation of version editor?
If I click version editor toolbutton I just see an empty screen to the right
The quasi-answer (workaround) to your question (I think) is that.. there IS NO such thing as a "turn on" for this feature. If it isn't showing up right - which I've seen many times - means Xcode is having a debatably-temporary mental lapse. Chances are - it (Xcode) is about to crash… but if you just want to be done with it / seal the deal / put the horse out of it's misery, etc..
quit Xcode.
reopen Xcode.
and you should be able to browse your versions, á la Time Machine, as usual.
EDIT Ripley's believe it or not ® I think I'm wrong!
More likely is that your git "arrangement" has become "f-ed up", somehow-or-other.
For me no amount of committing in the GitHub client for Mac would remedy the situation (for some files)… However, thanks to this hint, i guess forcing Xcode to "take a good, long look at itself in the mirror" via the "actual" Xcode File -> Source control => commit command does seem to bring back the version-editing functionality of problematic source files.

How to use multiple tabs when tagging to a function in Vim

I use ctags with my Vim and I rely heavily on C-] and C-T to tag back and froth between various functions in my project.
But if the function is in a different file, I'd like Vim to automatically open it in a new tab instead of the current tab. If I pop my tag stack using the C-T, I'd like it go back to the original tab where I pressed by C-] instead of changing the file in the current tab. I don't like to have the same file opened in multiple tabs in Vim. This is the normal behavior for most IDEs and I am wondering if there is a way to do this in Vim?
nmap <C-Enter> <C-w><C-]><C-w>T
Does this help ? You could probably figure out something similar for the way back.
Well, we need to decide what would be the wanted behaviour. We can go back to the original tab (not sure how, still investigating) but then the above given mapping is gonna open a new tab next time. So you'll end up with a lot of tabs after a while.
Or we can do <C-w>C, which will close the opened tab and take us back to the original one. I, personally, prefer this way of working (that way I don't lose my position in the file)
I go to the function I want, make my corrections there then return to the original file from which I started.
Let me know, what would you like (this didn't fit in comments so I put the answer here).
This might point you in the right direction:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Open_every_buffer_in_its_own_tabpage
So, this is a feature I would like to see as well.
I'm not sure if it's possible.
What I usually do is
:tabnew
:tag somepartsoffunction*
and press tab to use globbing to easily find tag.
Sure, it's not an ideal solution, but it works most of the time.
Unfortunately, with VIM tabbing isn't totally integrated since it's a new feature since 7.0. Most people I know that use VIM weren't even aware of tabs until I told them, so with that, I have a feeling there is no way to do it right now.
(I would love to be proven wrong)
