I am missing some of (perhaps all) system tasks that used to be available in context menus of the previous Windows versions. Please see the attached image for details.
Is there a way to make, say, "Move" easily available (so that I can, e.g., move a window from invisible part of display within a remote session)? How?
Use shift + right click (eightforums.com)

I’m not sure what are these called:
I mean the Show code with my wire stats, Show Memory indicator, etc..
Basically, I’m mostly interested so this autocomplete menu would only show files, or at the very least would prioritise files. How can this be achieved?
I’m in version 2022.2.1.
That popup is called Search Everywhere and you are on an "All" tab that includes combined results from Classes, Files, Symbols, Actions etc.
Either manually switch to the desired tab (using a mouse or by hitting Tab needed number of times) or invoke this popup for the desired search from the start. For that just use the shortcut for Navigate | File... (Ctrl + Shift + N here on Windows keymap).

Found the solution.
These things are called Actions, and the can be disabled in menu that appears after clicking the small funnel icon in the top right:
I tested, these changes seem to 'survive' a restart.
Yes, at the moment it is remembered only during the session.

(P.S. The same happens with Find in Files popup (IDEA-143972) and a few others similar popups as well)
I'm trying to write a small utility that attaches itself to the current main/key window. I've managed to make sure that the window cannot become key or main window, but it still shows up in the list of active applications when I use ⌘+tab.
The application should still be in the dock (so you can quit it and do other interactions), but I would rather that it didn't show up in the application list when pressing ⌘+tab.
I thought I had the answer when I discovered NSApplicationPresentationDisableProcessSwitching, but alas, that's system wide(!) which is certainly is not what I want.
Add "Application is an agent (UIElement)" to the Info.plist (raw key: NSUIElement) to remove yourself from the dock. Then create a status bar item (NSStatusItem) to hold your menu.
I am creating calculator VBO in blueprism object studio.
In application modeller I gave calc.exe path and able to launch calculator, but I am not getting identify option to spy on any element..
In Element, After clicking Launch buttion, identify is appearing for a split of sec and Launch button is coming back instead of Identify
PS- As mentioned in videos and links, I have launched calc via application modeller not directly via windows..
I am using windows 10, BluePrism V.5.0.11.0 versionenter image description here
Windows 10 calculator is complicated case, please consider using different application in your training. For example paint is much simpler to get started.
If you really need to get that going, then you may need to launch application first, using one object, and afterwards use second object to attach and interact with it.
can be two reasons
1. Either your application is not launched properly.
2. Sometimes we face problems with some versions of applications.
The best way to fix your problem is
Edit your settings remove the application path from the navigate stage.
Launch the application separately
Open Navigate stage > Action > Attach
Provide the window title within quotes (example: "Calculator")
Click OK then run the object
Now if you go to application modeller
You will be able to see the identify button under the element.
Hope this will help you.
I resolved this by unchecking "Disable invasive techniques (hooking)".
The Windows 10 calculator runs with process name win32calc which is also located under c:\windows\system32.
So when you launch the application please make you identify the applications process name and its location
I resolved this by circumventing to windows 7 calculator instead of a windows 10 calculator on windows 10.
Link to download win 7 calculator for win 10-
https://winaero.com/download.php?view.1795
This will be installed in the same place as your default calculator.
Inside-
C:\Windows\System32
The name of the app in my case was "calc1.exe" to avoid collisions with the default calculator.
I used this as my base reference app for spying and it worked.
Also note, the hover to highlight button seems to be a bit buggy, try a bit hit and trail to get you required button to be highlighted and mark using "Ctrl+LeftClick"
For example Version Control tool window. I never use it. I use version control support, but not this tool window itself. How can I remove it from tool window bar?
I've found a plugin to hide certain tool windows
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/?id=1489
If you don't need to actually hide the button, but just don't want it in the way while looking for the buttons you do use regularly, you can always drag it to some side of the screen that you don't often use. (I rarely use the bottom-right, so I could move some things there.) That way, you don't see them when picking a tab, but you can still get to it if you need to. (And every once in a while, I suspect you may really want to look at that Version Control view.)
I'm a frontend developer and I have a multi-monitor setup. I have HTML code on one monitor and CSS code on another monitor.
To achieve that, I drag a tab out of IntelliJ IDEA window, so that the tab opens in a separate window.
My problem is that the secondary window lacks a menu:
Menu access hot keys (e.g. Alt+V) won't work. I can't make use of the main window's menu either because when I click it, the focus switches to the active tab of the main window.
How do I access the menu when I'm working in IDEA's secondary window?
This feature is currently not available in IntelliJ IDEA.
The alternatives I could think of to do what you want:
Consider raising a feature request on http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/
Do you think it's possible that you might not miss the menu on the detached tab if instead of accessing functionality through the menu, you did the same through keyboard shortcuts?
Personally, being a keyboard junkie, I have not felt the lack of a menu on the detached tab.
Even though Eclipse allows you to create a new window for the same workspace, I had some issues with it ( for eg: if you set a breakpoint in a file in Window 1, and started a debug session from Window 2, then the file would be re-opened in Window 2 when the breakpoint is hit) and feel that the Intellij IDEA implementation works better.
(Warning! The most Hacky suggestion) Assuming you are using Windows, there are a number of ways in which you could extend the single IntelliJ window across the two monitors and then instead of detaching a tab, you could do a 'Split Vertically' in that single window. With the slider between the tabs positioned just right, it will seem you have two windows opened with each of them having a menu.
To extend a window across two monitors see : How can you maximize a window on to dual monitors in Windows 7 or use one of the multi-monitor tools listed here or here ( I vaguely recall that it was the latter 'zbar' that I used to extend a window during my eclipse days).
Believe it or not, I have done this with Eclipse when I was sick of guessing where the file-with-the-breakpoint would open up :)
