What's the name of the OSX look up "Dialog / Pop-up"? - objective-c

I'm trying to find the name and the corresponding API documentation for the tooltip-like dialog that opens up when you click "Look Up..."

You're probably looking for NSPopOver.

My Arcmap 10.3 icon missing

My Arcmap 10.3 does not have an icon on my desktop - I can't find how to add a shortcut to my bar and so I have to open older MXD files to get to the program.
I have already tried finding it in the program files and there is no icon for the program anywhere.
You should be able to find ArcMap.exe in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\bin directory.
Once there, right-click and select "Send To -> Desktop (create shortcut)", "Pin to Taskbar", and/or "Pin to Start Menu".
you could use the solution of Erica or you could go on start and write arcmap and you click on it.
Please search in the search bar "ArcMap"

How to expand folder branch in Project Window Intellij IDEA?

Sometimes I close folder/package in Project Tool Window and then I should click every folder in it to open them . How to avoid this and open all folders/packages quickly?
* on numpad
Also see IDEA guide about Title bar context menu and customize project window as you need.
Navigate to any folder / package by name! Use the shortcut Shift+Ctrl+N(on Mac ⇧+⌘+N) in the pop-up window type name of folder / package, and end of name add /, for example src/. See here guide for more understanding.
Use the great feature Speed Search for quick navigation:
And also use shortcut Alt+1 to open, Shift+Esc to hide Project Tool Window.
after every press numpad * folders will be expaned more and more

Is there a search history in Intellij IDEA?

A feature that I used a lot in Eclipse is the Search History, which remembers searches you performed in the past and gives you quick access to them. I cannot seem to replicate this functionality in IntelliJ - it seems that I have to start a new search each time. Does this feature exist, or does anyone know of a plugin that provides such a feature?
I think what you're looking for is the "Open in new tab" checkbox at the bottom of the "Find in path" dialog. For me by default it was disabled. When you enable it, you will have search results open in separate tabs every time, so accessing historic searches will be much easier.
For recent "Find Usages", open the "Find" window (Cmd 3); click the settings button in the "Find" window toolbar; in the settings dialog check the checkbox "Open in new tab".
Inside 'Find' dock press Alt+Down to see 'Recent Find Usages' dropdown.
Search history intellij alt up or alt down.
For in-file search there is Recent Searches drop down if you press the down arrow key, the same is available for the Find in Path dialog.
Alt+down arrow is what you are looking for...
First press Ctrl+Shift+f and then alt+down arrow
for more info check IntelliJ website:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/searching-everywhere.html#search_all
Using Alt+down works to see previous Finds, but by default only 1 Tab is open.
Of course the setting for opening new Finds in a new Tab can be found in a slightly different place than when the first answer was posted. It can now be found by right-clicking the top bar (or the "Show options menu" gear-icon) -> View Options -> Open Results in New Tab.
Click on the magnifying icon in the find window and you will see it. It is not intutive. I'd expect it to list the previous searches when I click on the text box window.
just when you user find by path, right corner of the search you will find the "open
in find window" there you will see history as shown in the image and you can pin the search history you need . just hit the <- arrow button in the left panel of find window, you would see the history

Apple's Services Implementation Guide - Sample Code Not Working

Whenever I'm like surfing on the web and I highlight a bunch of text, I see a "New TextWrangler Document with Selection" item on the contextual menu.
How do I replicate this functionality with my app so that whenever a user selects text in any other application, he can see a "New (My App) Document with Selection" item in the contextual menu and upon clicking on it, it feeds the selected text into my app?
Update
To try to answer my own question, I followed the sample code here: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SysServices/Articles/providing.html
which implements a simple rot13 encryption service on highlighted text. but it ain't working.
Although my "Encrypt Text" appears in the system preferences menu like "New TextWrangler Document with Selection" as shown above, it doesnt actually appear in an application's services menu or right-click contextual menu when text is selected.
Can someone tell me why the sample code in apple's documentation is not working
#PeterHosey here it is, with NSRequiredContext too:
my app name is called "simpleEncrypt" and the message is exactly the same as the one copied from apple's services implementation guide.
- (void)simpleEncrypt:(NSPasteboard *)pboard
userData:(NSString *)userData error:(NSString **)error;
In the Info.plist for my Translate Text application, I'm using NSStringPboardType as the send type for each of its services.
The system-declared UTIs list says that the modern equivalent to that is public.utf8-plain-text, so try changing your service's send and return types to that.
If it works, it'd probably be a good idea to list all the plain-text variants. Those are listed there in the Uniform Type Identifiers Reference; they're the types that conform to public.plain-text.
You need to include an NSRequiredContext dictionary in your service dictionary that describes when the service is appropriate to enable. Until you do, it is disabled in all contexts by default. (I'm not sure why it still doesn't show up even after you enabled it, but this is a required first step.)

Enabling tabs in xcode? Or lessening the pain of not having them?

I am currently using xcode and I find it's lack of tabs quite disturbing.
I currently use command-shift-d to search through all the files, or ctrl-1 to open the history of files that were recently opened.
It works but I find it less effective than just tabbing through the few files i am currently working on.
Is there any way, third party or not, to enable some sort of tabbed organization?
If not, is there any other way to quickly navigate through a subset of files?
XCode 4 now supports tabs. You can enable by selecting "View / Show Tab Bar" menu.
Not really, but one alternative is View > Show Favorites Bar and drag five or six frequently-used source files into it. Not as flexible as tabs but satisfies your request for "quickly navigate through a subset of files".
The traditional way is to use the detail view. Get the files you want in the Detail view by one of these means:
Put them all in the same group, then select the group
Enter a filter expression in the Search Bubble that narrows the items shown
Define a Smartgroup that includes just the files you want
Get a list of the files as a Find in Project result, then select that item in Find Results
Then you can use the Detail View as your list of interesting files and navigate through it quickly with the up and down arrows.
First of all, you can use Textmate (which I believe has Xcode integration). Otherwise:
Window (Menu) -> Organizer (ctrl-command-o)
At the bottom of that window, if you don't have two panes, click the square to the right of the gear. Now drag code files of interest to the left, grey pane--a single click or arrow up/down will open the file in the editor pane.
If you do open a bunch of windows, as vog suggested, you'll need to command-~ through them--not alt-tab.
Cheers.
The Xcode source code editor allows you to choose the file from a list. It's two clicks instead of one (as it would be with tabbing), but it's better than nothing.
In addition, you can simply Alt-Tab through your open source code windows. This is not slower than tabbing, and has the same effect since the source code windows are usually placed exactly one in front of another.
You'll definitely want to read through this. (XCode Tips and Tricks you wish you know about two years ago - SO)
You can navigate between files using "Recent Files"
Write simple applescript:
tell application "Xcode"
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "1" using {control down} -- open "Related Files"
key code 125 -- choose "Recent Files" ("keystroke down" doesn't work)
keystroke return -- enter to "Recent Files"
key code 125 -- choose previous file
end tell
end tell
And bind it to some shortcut using for example FastScripts(free up to 10 bindings)
I have this script on "Control" + "`". (XCode 4)
Hope this will help
You may also try an Xcode plugin I've just released - it's called Code Pilot and solves a lot of issues of Xcode's navigation, making it more TextMate/Eclipse-like.
Check it out here: http://macoscope.net/en/mac/codepilot/
I hope this helps!
It is simple with XCode 7.2
GoTo View>>Show Tab Bar
This will show the tab bar.
RightClick on the New Tab and click -->"NEW TAB"
Then We can see all the files in tabs.
