I am a huge fan of JetBrains Rider it is really adaptable to the tastes of most devs. I could not find settings to remove an annoyance from a specific navigation function.
Navigating on the tree view of the git changes opens up a new tab to show the selected file differences, this can also be triggered via shortcuts. It is really annoying to have to close it every time I tab out and back into Rider.
The file differences are also displayed besides the git navigation tree, so displaying a new tab just gets in the way.
Is there a configuration to disable the automatic display of this diff on a new tab?
Following this blog post from JetBrains I did what they commended here:
After opening a project, press shift shift (Search Everywhere) and
search for “Registry”. Next, start typing any of the following three
switches to enable or disable things:
show.diff.preview.as.editor.tab – toggles the in-editor diff preview
I then disabled the show.diff.preview.as.editor.tab setting.
The diff tab no longer appeared
For newer versions, the setting is now show.diff.preview.as.editor.tab.with.single.click
It's actually quite easy to do that via the commit settings menu in 2022.2. Just click on the cog wheel and deselect "Show Diff Preview on Single Click".

I have installed gvim in windows 7. When I right click on a file, I get list of editor to be opened with. I see a icon for notepad++, 7zip and beyond compare, but not for vim. it is tough to search "Edit with Vim" in the big list. Is it possible to add icon to "Edit with Vim". I tried setting ICON in registry to gvim.exe path, but that didn't work
I am currently having a crack at coding this up "for real" (but no success yet).
In the meantime, here's what I did on my machine as a sort of workaround:
Create a new text file and call it (for example) vim.reg
and paste this into the file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Vim]
"Icon"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Vim\\vim74\\gvim.exe\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Vim\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Vim\\vim74\\gvim.exe\" \"%1\""
and then right-click on the file and select Merge.
Or just manually add those keys directly in RegEdit if you're comfortable with that.
You may need to restart Explorer.exe (eg. log out and back in) for it to take effect.
This will add a new "Edit with vim" entry, with the icon, to the context menu for every filetype.
If you want it only for text files, for example, then change the two occurrences of "*" in the file to "txtfile".
The other vim context menu entries (eg. open with existing vim session) will not be affected - they will still not have icons.
UPDATE:
From the bug report that Christian mentioned, it looks like someone else has now implemented this, in version 7.4.724.
Vim.org reports that the currently release is 7.4.729, so it should include that.
The only trouble is that the Windows binaries available for download from the site are from 2013.
But vim.org also suggests a way to get the latest version, precompiled for Windows:
For the latest version with all patches included see Cream below.
These versions are unofficial, but the download number is high and
complaints are few.
And
For an unofficial version that does include all the latest patches and
optionally a bit more: Cream.
The "one-click installer" mentioned includes the Cream changes.
For the "real Vim" use the "without Cream" version listed further down.
As far as I know, this is not possible yet. There is a whishlist bug that requests this feature, but no one has contributed code yet.
I'm using VS2012 with TFS2010 (which may or may not matter).
I cannot seem to get any of the keyboard commands that should work with the Pending Changes window to, y'know, work.
I've tried the steps listed here, and I've tried binding keys to ever "CompareWith" commands listed in the keyboard dialog. The only ones that actually seem to do anything are the File.* commands, but those operate on the open file, and not the Pending Changes window.
I've seen that commands like Alt-I (check-in) work, but they don't appear in the Keyboard settings.
Does the new window in VS2012 have its own set of keyboard settings that are set somewhere else? I'm trying to get to the point of have an keyboard-only workflow for Comparing, the Excluding or Undoing.
Update:
This is really strange. I can actually see the shortcut keys in the right-click dialog, but pressing them does nothing. I then tried changing it to a chord, and I get the error message: "The key combination (Ctrl+Shift+Q, Ctrl+Shift+Q) is bound to command (Tfs.ContextPendingChangesPageExcludeChanges) which is not currently available"
Update 2: I found this blog post, which has some more shortcuts listed, but not that actually do operations on the individual files. For quick reference, here's his list:
Shortcut Team Explorer Page
Ctrl+' Search
Ctrl+0,H Home
Ctrl+0,P Pending Changes
Ctrl+0,M My Work
Ctrl+0,W Work Items
Ctrl+0,B Build
Ctrl+0,R Reports
Ctrl+0,D Documents
Ctrl+0,S Settings
Ctrl+0,A Web Access – team home page
F5 Refresh
Ctrl+Up Move focus to the previous visible section header
Ctrl+Down Move focus to the next visible section header
Alt+Left Navigate backward
Alt+Right Navigate forward
Alt+Home Focus the navigation control
Alt+0 Focus the page top level content
Alt+[1-9] Focus the visible section [1-9] level content
Alt+Up Focus the previous visible section content
Alt+Down Focus the next visible section content
There is a bug with key bindings in some Team Explorer pages in VS 2012 RTM. This has been fixed for the next VS 2012 update.

Is there a redmine plugin that allows quick navigation between projects?
Feature it might have may be showing a pop up dialog that allows you to see all your projects at a glance and jump to them, or the time that gives a filtered list as you type the name?
How about the built-in project drop-down list?
Here's how I use it with FireFox (windows) - no mouse needed:
shift + alt + f : puts the focus in the search box
tab : moves focues to the project drop-down
... start typing the name of your project (usually the first 2-3 letters are enough)
tab or enter to go to the project
Last time I checked, there was no accesskey defined for the project drop-down, hence using the one for the search box.
Kind of a newbie question.
Sometimes I use the project-wide search feature, and my search results appear listed in the window below, along with the related hierarchy placement.
Let's say I double click a file. It opens. Fine.
However, if I double-click again on another file in the search results window, it will replace the file I just opened. It's impossible for me to open multiple search results, short of manually opening them from the project view.
It wasn't always this way - it worked when I first installed the program, but something changed about three days in and I can't do it anymore.
Thanks!
Go to Preferences > General > Search and uncheck Reuse editors to show matches.
How can I get tabs in gVim to work like they do in most good IDEs? I say gVim specifically because that is the version of Vim that I use but I am open to alternatives.
I want the following things for my tabs:
Ctrl+Tab goes to the MRU (most recently used) tab.
Holding down Ctrl and then pressing Tab multiple times continues to change to the next most recently used tab every time you press Tab.
When ctags are built and working and you press Ctrl+], if this takes you to a different file it should open that file in a new tab or if a tab with that file is already open it should switch to that one.
Easy tab reordering with the mouse just by dragging them around.
I am posting all these as a single question because I am hoping there is a good single solution that will do all or most of these things instead of having to hack each customization in individually. I would think this would be the preferred behavior by most of us.
Vim has no built in MRU. There is at least one plugin for that, though, but I've never used it.
The tabs in Vim are not the same as the tabs in your IDE, they are more like perspectives. The equivalent of your IDE's tabs in Vim are buffers and "(split)windows". There are a number of ways to work with buffers including some native ones and a number of third party plugins. Some of these plugins have MRU-like features.
The Vim wiki has a bunch of pages about tabs.
