In previous versions of Xcode, the workspace configuration buttons hide or show the optional navigator, debug, and utilities areas as shown in the Apple Docs here. They are missing in Xcode 12. Does anyone know if there is a way to make them reappear. I know that there are keyboard shortcuts for this functionality, but I have really grown accustomed to using the buttons.
All of these options are still available on xCode 12.
Workspace configuration buttons are moved to their respective sides.
Top right, top left and bottom debug area (If not visible then show from Menu bar > View > Show Toolbar & Menu bar > View > Debug Area > Show Debug Area)
The optional navigation and Editor configuration buttons are also there
How to turn of following menu (at left bottom corner)? I am on MAC and using "hot corners" so this menu jumps every time i go for my left bottom "hot corner" Mac option and kills my ux.
Currently, the only way is hiding the whole status bar.

The vertical validation/marker bar on the right side of the Android Studio editor contains breakpoint, error, and TODO markers. Unfortunately, the breakpoint and error markers are the same color and wastes time sifting out the errors from the breakpoints. I would like the breakpoint markers to be a different color or hidden altogether. Any help would be appreciated.
You can change the marker colors in Settings | Editor | Colors & Fonts | General, by changing the color selected in the "Error stripe mark" field.
By mistake I removed the toolbar in Android Studio IDE. How can I get it back.
Note: I am not talking about toolbar in android app
If your Main Menu toolbar is hidden you can get it back by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N (or double tap Shift on Android Studio 4.x) and search for the View | Appearance: Main Menu Action. Toggle to ON to enable the menu again:
Select View->
Click on Toolbars
The simple way:
If you have accidentally hidden your Main menubar:
Double tap on Shift on your keyboard.
On the popped up window click on Actions and type mainmenu.
A toggle button labelled " view appearence : Main Menu - OFF" will appear.
Click on toogle OFF to make it ON.
Now, the Main Menu is shown. very simple!
For the version of 3.6.1,
It is actually in View > Appearance > Tool Window Bars.
Make sure it is ticked.
It is frustrating when you accidentally hide toolbars & even when the main menubar is also hidden, it is difficult to get back because the View tab is also hidden after the main menubar.
So what to do?
Press Alt+CTRL+S - this will open all settings.
In settings, that go to keymaps.
Find Main Menu-> View-> Toggle the main menu.
Select it and assign any shortcut you like after clicking the little pencil icon on top.
Close settings and press your shortcuts, - main menu opens.
You can similarity assign to Main Menu-> View-> Toolbar and show toolbar again on Android studio IDE. Alternatively, after the main menu opened, click VIEW-> Toolbar tab.
This's the way easy and simple:
Click on Search Everywhere icon.
Type "Main Menu" (or anything you want to find: status bar, navigation bar, tool bar ...).
Click on Status Button to enable ON mode for it.
Done!!!

If you hide your Main menubar accidentally, follow these steps to show

Step 3: Now press the shortcut key (In my case its M) and you will see a popup Main menu
Step 4: Click on View -> Appearance -> Main menu
Finally, you will see your Main menu again :)
Step 5:

To remove the Shortcut Key, press (Ctrl + Alt + S) key -> Keymap -> Main menu
Right-click on the Main menu, Select Remove -> Hit Apply, then OK button
If you're on Linux and the Main menu disappeared after updating AS, and you can't find it in the View | Appearance as suggested in the other answers, then it's probably because of an experimental Linux native menu flag got enabled.
Double tap Shift (or do Ctrl + Shift + A), to get the window to type in what action are you looking for, and type Experimental features. Then find linux.native.menu and uncheck it. Then restart AS.

Depending on your version of Android Studio, the option was moved:
Older versions:
View > Toolbars
Newer versions:
View > Appearence > Toolbars
I have the version 3.6.1 and for me it is in the second case now.
It is actually in View > Appearance > Tool Window Bars.
Make sure it is ticked.
If you have hidden your Main menu bar:
Follow the below steps:
Click on Main Menu -> View
on View -> Click on Tool Windows
In Tool Windows select the project or if you required any other menu you can add
Now, the Main Menu is shown. very simple!
You can similarity assign to Main Menu-> View-> Toolbar and show toolbar again on Android studio IDE. Alternatively, after the main menu opened, click VIEW-> Toolbar tab. Save this answer.
I'd like to work in a minimalist manner. So I am trying to remove some of the top level menus that I do not use.
I don't see anything obvious in the Customize window. Am I missing something simple?
You're very close. Go back to Customize (right-click in the menu or toolbar areas), then choose the "Commands" tab instead of the default "Toolbars".
With the "Menu Bar" option selected, you can delete, move, or create high-level menu items, or dive into each menu and customize items. If you make a mistake, click Reset All.
For minimalist coding, I'm also a fan of Full Screen mode (VIEW -> Full Screen or Shift+Alt+Enter).
