Spell checking not working in Aptana - spell-checking

I have enabled spell checking, but neither HunSpell nor the default spelling engine don't seem to be doing any work - I have some intentionally misspelled words in my document, but no reaction on the part of Aptana.
According to General/Editors/Annotions settings Aptana should use a red squiggly line - it doesn't.
I've looked at General/Editors/Text Editors/Spelling options - Hunspell has been provided with the path to the dictionary files.
Nothing worth mentioning in Aptana Studio/Spelling options.
Have I missed something?

disable automatic font ligatures

There’s a Qt5 application that I use to render text on screen and to PDF.
I’ve been having trouble with newer fonts automatically creating ligatures from e.g. ff (which is plain wrong, ① because U+FB00 ff exists for this purpose, and ② because this will also wrongly convert e.g. compound-word boundaries). I get this is the new fancy thing to do, but I would like to disable it, either by setting an environment variable, a fontconfig fonts.conf(5) setting or similar, or by patching the application. (Modifying the font is no option for most due to licencing issues.)
I cannot find any documentation for this, though. Other people are writing text editors and have similar problems due to the rise of “coding ligatures” in fonts, but so far nobody has provided a workable solution to disable them.

How to activate color-coding and intellisense in new PyCharm project?

I created a new project in PyCharm, however, color coding is not carrying over. Intellisense seems to not work either.
I have already tried switching themes and messing with the source directory, but nothing changes.
Example
I would expect the above screenshot to be color coded based on the theme I am using, darcula in this case. Also, boto3 is not installed, so I would expect an error outside of a typo.
Solution was main.py was seen as a text file even though *.py is seens as python. Weird, don't know how that happened, but I went to File -> Settings -> Editor -> File Types, deleted that association and it worked.

Can I make IntelliJ IDEAs auto indent ignore previous lines?

Auto-indenting in IntelliJ IDEA seems to automatically takes lines previous to the selection in to consideration. This means that if the indentation is incorrect in the part of the file you're working on (e.g., 3 or 5 spaces where there should be 4, or even worse, a mix of tabs and spaces) it's annoyingly difficult to add correctly indented code.
Both new lines I'm adding and lines I use auto-indent on because I've changed them anyway get messed up like this. Since the file I'm working on is being worked on by someone else as well on another branch, I really don't want to modify over a third of the file just to indent everything correctly, but I would still like the lines that I'm actually modifying/adding to be correct - I don't see any reason to perpetuate the error when it's not necessary.
Currently the best mechanism for fixing it I've found is to manually do the spaces on a line and go from there, but it's really quite annoying, especially since I can't use the tab key or IntelliJ will immediately move to the incorrect indentation. It's barely better than copy/pasting the text to Sublime Text, fix the indentation there and paste it back without formatting.
My apologies if this has already been asked, I've tried to search for it, but it's very hard to search for this as there's so many auto-indent questions.
IntelliJ IDEA recently added a feature (in v14 or 1v4.1 if I recall) where it will detect indentation that is different from your settings. It will honor those indentations (in order to keep the file consistent). Usually as soon as you start editing the file, you get a banner, although that can be turned off. The banner looks like this:
This allows you to modify this setting on a per file basis, or turn it off completely (i.e. the "Show Settings" option).
I suspect this feature is what is causing you the issue. I am not sure how it handles a case where a file has mixed indentation (e.g. most of the file is 4, but some sections are 3 or 5 spaces). You can try turning this feature off in Settings > Editor > Code Style > "Detect and use existing file indents for editing"

TeXnicCenter - spelling not working correctly

I have installed 2.02 Stable 64 bit version of TeXnicCenter and have following problem with spelling check. In one of my existing LaTeX document the grammar of the text in English is checked correctly and all typos are being underlined. In this file German language is not being recognise although I change setting for the language in the options for spelling. However, in other of my existing LaTex document the spelling tool is not recognising English text but it recognises text in German.
Here some hint: It could be that the other LaTex file has been created within German Windows environment. Now I have the Win 7 environment in English. Is it possible that it is connected with the text formatting? Is it possible to change it? Or is there a different cause?
Some other hint: When I generate a new LaTex file the spelling works fine for both English and German. So it is just the problem with the existing document.
Good hint from your side towards text encoding Phil. Solution is a bit different though. Apparently TexnicCenter is saving .tex files with ANSI encoding as default. As soon as .tex files are saved with UTF-8 encoding, spelling check works fine. There are not options to be set in the program. One has to go through Files->Save As and set the encoding while saving.
I know this is an old topic but here is what solved my issue: manually change the project language. Go to project > properties and then change the language there.

How to Pretty print VBA code?

How do you copy VBA code into a Word document and retain the VBA editor color scheme?
You can use Notepad++ to accomplish this in three ways. Just so you know, Notepad++ is a more advanced version of Notepad, which supports syntax highlighting of different code files "out of the box" - Visual Basic included!
Download & install it, fire it up, and load up your VBA code. You should automatically see it beautifully coloured (if not, because the file extension is something other than .vb, go to Language -> VB or Language -> V -> VB).
If you need to change any of the colours, you can easily do so - just go to Settings -> Styler Configurator. From that menu, you can change the various highlighting and font options, to suit your needs - although the default usually suffices for most.
Then, go to Plugins -> NppExport. From there, you have three options you can consider:
Directly print from Notepad++
Copy all formats to clipboard
Export to RTF
Export to HTML
The first is self explanatory. The second one - "Copy all formats to clipboard" - will copy the entire file with the highlighted syntax to the clipboard. Once you click it, then open Microsoft Word or your other favourite document editor, and just hit paste! You should see the beautifully syntax-highlighted code. If something goes wrong, then you can try one of the other options (export to RTF/HTML), although I've never had a problem with the clipboard method.
There are two programs on cnet downloads, which are free to try. In case you did not try them, here are the links:
VB-VBA Code Formatter & Printer 2.2
VBAcodePrint 6.13.110
Smart Indenter could be what you're looking for? You'd load the result into Notepad++, set language to VB and save as .rtf/.doc (or print to file, can't remember off the top of my head).
For a more modern approach, Sublime Text users can install ExportHTML from Package Control. This has the added benefit of being able to include the line numbers, and changing the code coloration.
HTML files can be opened directly within Word.
Highlight supports a wide range of Operating Systems and 150+ languages including Visual Basic, although I'm not sure about VBA.
I would recommend this one: planetB
It works well with Internet Explorer (didn't work wit Firefox for me, not sure abt Chrome).
Plus it's online, so no need to install anything (the case of Company/University PC's)

The following works with Visual Studio Code:
Start VS Code.
New file.
Copy & Paste the VBA code into the VS Code window.
In the lower right-hand corner, click on "Plain Text" and select "Visual Basic" instead. Note that the code is now syntax-highlighted.
Copy & Paste the formatted code into Word.
