I find the suggestions useful, but good-lord I can't see what I'm doing. I can't find a setting to move the suggestions out of the way.
Unfortunately, users cannot currently change the position of the Intellisense info popup. There is an open issue for this but it hasn't received attention in a while.

Using Intellij Ultimate v 2017.1.1 on OSX Sierra, when I do a search in file, using CMD+f, I get an unusable full screen search dialog. Has anyone seen this ? Images attached.
Before clicking CMD+f (all is well)
I try to search for something:
Any help appreciated. The Internets has so far yielded no help.
This issue is already fixed, please see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-170295 for details.
It was caused by the Swing MigLayout misbehavior when system DPI was extremely high.
This can happen if you accidentally paste a huge block of code into the finder, try CMD+f and then CMD+a and finally delete.
I really like how IntelliJ displays the information of the type of parameters that you are required to fill in as you are writing the code. The problem is that this info sometimes disappears if u click somewhere to check something etc. I never quite know how to get it to display that information again in same fashion. So I always spend some time to fiddle around until it displays that info again in the same fashion. I know you can hold down on ctrl and hover over the method name to bring up parameters information but its not quite the same and it then does not highlight on what parameter you are currently on. IntelliJ also brings up required parameters type of information when you are starting to go wrong. It brings up this big separate box and you can get very clear view of what needs to be done. I've taken a screenshot of the type of information that I'm on about. Both of them are on the same pic.
Please check it out.
My question: is there a way to bring this information up via keystrokes or mouse input at will? I've tried to google for an answer but I haven't had any joy. Please advise as I'm sure someone else might like this information too.
Thank you.
PS. I know that a good code does not usually have that many parameters but in my case there is not much that can be done.
Default shortcut for that is CTRL-P when cursor is inside the brackets.
I've taken a look at the Apple docs for creating help files that use the built-in help menu at the Apple doc site. I think I have a pretty good grasp on the concepts, as long in the tooth as they may be. I searched a bit further on the web for a shorter tutorial-ish way to do something, in my opinion, rather simple. I found a bunch and most describe a process found here.
However, for the life of me I can't get it working on 10.9 using Xcode 5.0.2. I have created the help files, added the Apple hooks in the header of the html file, run the Help Indexer, added the files to Xcode, and added both CFBundleHelpBookFolder and CFBundleHelpBookName to my Info.plist. The help menu item opens Help, however it does not open my help file. I get a page that says "The selected topic is currently unavailable."
Does anyone out there have a better tutorial to create a very simple help book and get it working?
I understand your confusion. When I first tried to add a Help Book to my application, it never seemed to work, but eventually using the Apple Help Programming Guide it got there. I found I had to actually install the app into /Applications before the system would find it. (I am not sure if this is strictly necessary).
NOTE I am not sure the link you listed is correct. The Apple Help Programming Guide states:-
Select the help bundle in the Add Files dialog and click Add.
Select the “Create Folder References for any added folders” radio button and click Add
PS I suggest you examine the Package Contents of your app, and check that it actually does contain the Help Book.
I totally dig the new code lens stuff in VS2013 but I feel it is to intrusive and would like to be able to toggle it on and off with my keyboard. I was wondering if anyone knows of a shortcut or an extension that will allow me to toggle it on and off? I have searched google and some forums but I am unable to find anything. I am assuming this does not exist yet since I have 0 results but I figured I would ask.
There's no shortcut for it at this stage, and you can't assign one in the VS keyboard options. I suggest people vote for this feature on the Visual Studio User Voice site.
I have written a program and have used it (in debug mode) multiple times to test it out sometimes adding code and/or changing it. After a while any code I wrote or new buttons or features I added to the form would not appear while debugging. I don't know what circumstances led to this.
The only solution I found was to rewrite my code from scratch, however, the problem came back after a while. I don't know what is going on and I can't move on without starting all over again.
Thanks for all the help.
try rebuilding your entire solution, I believe to do this you must right-click on the project and there should be a menu option that says "rebuild solution". Try that.
