I prefer to have multiple rows of tabs in my IDEs and to show pinned tabs above all other tabs, ideally. The IntelliJ Platform supports this already:
PhpStorm
In Android Studio this option is missing in the preferences:
Android Studio
I think Android Studio is not using the latest IntelliJ Platform. Is there any way to circumvent this limitation?
Now you can enable this feature by unchecking the option Show pinned tabs in a separate row in Editor Tabs to display tabs in multiple lines on Android Studio Chipmunk 2021.2.1 Patch 1.
There's a difference with the old setting, the pinned tabs will be mixed with the pinned tabs, but the position of pinned ones still be in front of unpinned ones.
After unchecking it, the tabs will be displayed like this:
The pinned tabs can be displayed in multiple rows, but the unpinned tabs will follow the pinned ones instead of in a separate line.

I'm told that Alt+Left/Right should navigate between the open tabs in Android Studio, but for some reason I get this kind of behavior when I do multiple tab movements:
After the 3rd/4th (not sure) use of the shortcut the focus goes away from the editor window to the tool window on the left and then the shortcut seems to switch between tabs in there.
I'm using Android Studio 3.4.2, Win 10.
Why is this happening and how can I avoid it?
When designing layouts in the Designer of Android Studio 3.4 I am missing the "tools" feature.
In older versions, there was a small button that allowed to set a properts in the tools mode (only visible in designer) instead of setting it for the android name space.
So in the XML it would be written
tools:background="#aaa"
instead of
android:background="#aaa"
However, with the new version, this is gone. It only seems to show the wrench symbol when I set this manually in the XML. But the button for adding a tools-property directly seems gone.
Any idea where the button went to?
Check under declared attributes
Press the + sign on the right and you can see a new row has been added below where you can search tools: {see the image below}
Or still, you can use the old school way like the above pic.
There used to be this helpful bar at the top of my Android Studio Editor, below the file tabs, which showed which method the cursor was in. I'm finding that I'm desperately missing it since upgrading to Android Studio 3.1.0 from Android Studio 3.0.1. I couldn't figure out what it was called.
It isn't a navigation bar, because that shows only the file path.
After reloading the old version of Android Studio, I discovered that this bar is called Breadcrumbs.
The new version changes its appearance slightly and adds new options for whether to place it at the top or bottom of the editor window. It seems to default to being placed at the bottom of the editor window.
To quickly set Breadcrumbs options ctrl+shift+a (or macintosh equivalent) to bring up Find Action and search for breadcrumbs
Hit enter on the non-options result and select top or whatever you want
Enjoy having your breadcrumbs back on top.
I noticed that in the list of supported features for VsVim tab group movement was listed.
I've been trying to use CTRL-W CTRL-K and CTRL-W CTRL-L, but I haven't been able to get them to move between tabs. I was wondering if I needed to do anything in the settings to get this to work properly.
I'm currently using the VsVim on Visual Studio 2013.
For a long time, CTRL-l and CTRL-h were not implemented. I have implemented them and they should be available as of the next release of VsVim. They do work across tab groups. In the meantime, if you are anxious to have them, you could grab an AppVeyor build.
Also CTRL-j and CTRL-k are available already. However, they don't move between tab groups; they move between actual Visual Studio horizontal window splits. It is tough to map Vim buffers/windows/tabs onto Visual Studio tabs/tab groups/splits/documents...
Back when I had ReSharper 5 my files would have all kinds of syntax highlighting and a bar next to the scrollbar to the right. It was wonderful because it would highlight redundant imports and possible code smells, as well mark things in the bar next to the scroll bar.
With ReSharper 6 I don't have any of that. I have to actually have cursor on what I want to change and wait for the pencil or light bulb to show up. Is this how ReSharper 6 is by default or do I have to reinstall it?
First make sure ReSharper is acutally activated. If it is, there should be a ReSharper top level menu entry in Visual Studio at the top.
If it is, make sure "Enable Code Analysis" is turned on in the ReSharper settings.
If it is not, enable ReSharper in the Visual Studio settings (Tools->Options). There should be an extra entry "ReSharper" in the list on the left side. Click the "Resume" button.
If you don't have such an entry in your Visual Studio settings, ReSharper is either not or not correctly installed.
Maybe the settings were not taken from the version 5 folder to the version 6 one. Try the following:
Make sure you close Visual Studio.
Go to:
Note: this folder is from a Windows 7 machine, since you didn't provide information on which version of visual studio you are using I'm putting 'x'
"c:\Users*your user*\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\ReSharper\v5.x\vsxx.x"
In there you'll find a UserSettings.xml file open it for edit.
Look for the "SeverityTable" node. Select it and copy it.
Paste it on the same file that you'll find on the "c:\Users*your user*\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\Resharper\v6.0\vsxx.x" folder. I recommend making a backup of the file before doing that.
Reopen visual studio. Resharper should be indicating all the recommendations and smells as it did before you updated it.
Hope this helps.
