I have installed Aptana studio for Eclipse.
Now, once I open any file and type a button - horizontal bar shows in and then disappears. Fast typing results in the annoying flickering which makes impossible to work with Aptana.
Is it possible to solve this somehow or make horizontal scrollbar always stay visible (like for example in Android Development Kit)?
Only way I have seen to remove this is removing word wrap at
Preferences -> Aptana Studio -> Editors
You have to restart aptana in order to implement the word wrap.
It's one of the maaaaaaany bugs that the new version has.

is it possible to scroll down in Visual Studio 2022 just as if I was using scroll wheel? Say for example using some shortcut. I want to keep the cursor at the same line I am at, but move the code a little higher on the screen, without getting my hands off keyboard.
As was mentioned in the comments, the default keybinding for this are Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down. Keyboard shortcuts can also be reconfigured in the Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard settings.
The commands to configure are Edit.ScrollLineUp and Edit.ScrollLineDown. There are several other scroll related commands, but I'm not sure what all of them do (they may not be applicable in the text editor).
Whenever I use the navigation pop-up (ie, the "Go To File" modal) in IntelliJ IDEA, there's a horizontal scrollbar that shows up sometimes, which hides the last result, or hides the only result:
Is there any way to hide this scrollbar? In a practical sense, I can of course tell that it's probably found the correct file, and worst case I just go to the wrong file. Just a minor annoyance, really.
Note: I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.2 under Ubuntu 14.04, using the Unity windows manager. This doesn't happen in the OSX version.
enable soft wrap in
Editor -> General
reopen IJ
Is there a way to make intellij a bit snappier and not animate the tool windows?
It's incredibly slow as it is, and not very useful.
Disable the Appearance & Behavior > Appearance > Animate Windows option in the settings (in IntelliJ IDEA 14). You can also find this option by searching for "animate" in the search box of the settings.
I have just installed IntelliJ 9.0.2 on a machine running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04.
How do I get another window to put on my second screen?
I would like to have both an editor and some tool windows on both screens.
All 'windows' inside of IntelliJ other than the code editor tabs have a "Float" option which pops open an independent window which you can drag to anywhere on your screen. This will allow you to manage your IDEA windows however you like.
IntelliJ also allow you to open multiple projects at once. When opening a project with one already opened, you are prompted as to wether you would like it in your current window or a "New Instance". If you choose new instance, it will open up a completely new IntelliJ with the other project in it. This will work for you if you have many projects you work on at once.
IntelliJ 14 and onwards you can select the settings cog and tick floating mode to detach menus, or drag editor tabs off the main window to detach them
If you're running on OSX you'll need to make sure it's not treating the screens as separate spaces, otherwise they'll snap back onto the same window as the main editor when switching between windows.
To do this untick Displays have separate Spaces in the Mission Control System Preferences.
IntelliJ 10 will have draggable & dockable editor tabs. A very nice feature. It's already present in the early access versions.
Whilst fiddling recently with Ulysses 2.0 - "The definitive creative writing package", I was struck by how effective the fullscreen/console mode was at focusing my mind on actually getting words on the page.
Are there any code editors that include a similar function? Or even a hack that allows code highlighting in Ulysees?
Preferably, for me, OSX, but feel free to list alternatives for others.
Any console based editor (vim, emacs, nano, ...) can be used in full screen mode, as long as the terminal in which it is run supports it. And I'd wager that most or all do. Usually this functionality is bound to F11 or Alt+Enter.
MacVim has a fullscreen mode: :set fullscreen, :help fullscreen, and ⇧⌘F.
Visual Studio has a fullscreen mode via pressing Shift+Alt+Enter.
Notepad++ has fullscreen mode by pressing F11 (or f12 i can't decide).
I use Think from Freeverse. It's a free utility that highlights your current app and simply darkens everything else, enabling you to focus on your document.
You can use it with your favorite editor. If you use Eclipse, you can double click the editor tab to maximize it, collapsing all other views. You can also customize the colors (if you prefer white text on dark background). It's not quite the same, but not bad.
This is going to end up a long list!
I use Textpad as my text editor when not using Visual Studio - http://www.textpad.com - and it has a fullscreen mode.
