Does anyone know how to let the autofill thing come out whenever I want?
It is really frustrating that I have to retype my code so that the autofill thing will automatically come out, currently that is my way of doing it
I found it by myself. It is control + space and the Basic code completion will come out.
Also can use Control+Shift+Space and Smart code completion (filters the list of methods and variables by expected type) will come out
Check out other shortcut here!
This is kind of silly, but the answer is eluding me and the issue is driving me a bit bonkers. Every now and then Excel decides to not let me use ' and " properly, forcing me to press another key before it appears. The thing is, the only solution I can ever find to this problem is changing the keyboard layout. For this very reason, I only have US English as a keyboard option and yet Excel still pulls this prank on me. It's also only Excel doing it, I can type totally normally in web browsers as well as Word.
Is it possible I accidentally hit some setting or something? Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Eventually it just sort of goes away, but it might be days before that happens, so I'm thinking there must be a button I'm bumping on accident that is toggling this setting.
To prepare an exam, I have to learn coding using google docs rather than using an IDE. It may seem idiot or impratical but the teacher really insists on that. It seems that is the same thing as Google interviews for example...
So far, I really got used with using two spaces indentation (I hate using tab indendation). And I want to learn how can I do that quickly in Google docs. Is there a shortcut or a "tips" (add-on?) for that?
For example, if you have an "if-condition" starting at the position number 4 and you want to move to the following line, it can be really convenient to have the cursor position at 4. Then, you'll add two spaces to start your block at position number 6. (ALL the if block will have at least position 6). But in Docs, when you move to the following line, the cursor always start at the beginning of the line except if you use the tab indentation. And it's really shitting if you want to indent your code properly...
Do you have a solution for that please ?
I was facing the same problem.
To write Python code in google docs, my solution is:
Switch off auto-capitalization, auto-correction and smart quotes. And other auto-substitutions so that you may write code without docs like formatting.
To do this: Tools> Preferences and uncheck the above items. Screen shots attached below.
Set tab to two spaces.
Right-click on ruler on top of page. Add left-tab stop, an arrow will appear, move this tab stop to 2 spaces from left of ruler. Try adding tab in the current line and if the tab size is OK, save this formatting.
To save:
Format > Paragraph Styles > Normal Text > Update 'Normal Text' to match.
Last, to add color(synatx highlight), you may use 'code blocks extension'.
Click install.
Now, write code in docs, select the code in google doc, click on:
Add-ons > Code Block. A pop up opens up.
Choose language : 'python' for me.
Choose theme: 'atom-one-dark'
click Format.
The code looks much like IDE, and writing more code is easier too.
While I understand that sometimes a point can be made by making students do things in a way that might not seem logical, this one doesn't make any sense to me.
Students don't learn anything useful by pressing space twice instead of letting an editor or IDE do it for them.
I wonder, is it because he/she wants it delivered in Google Docs or because they want you coding that way? If it's the latter, you won't have to hide your workaround.
I can only suggest using a good text editor, I always use the excellent and free Notepad++, and copy and paste it to and from Google Docs. Your instructor will never know. In fact, I'd be hunting around to see of there was a way to access your code files directly in Google Docs from Notepad++, or to auto-sync a folder with Google docs.
Notepad++ has syntax colouring - which will save your life - and can be set to indent with tabs or spaces to whatever indent width you specify. If not using an IDE, I only use Notepad++.
Your instructor sounds like some I had, people who cross a line from being quirky but with a point to make to just being a dick. There is absolutely no point in telling a student to code only in Google docs. Google docs is a great thing, I love it, but it is by no stretch of the imagination a coding tool.
(I see that this is an aged thread, but I'll respond in case someone else with a similar issue - like this year's class for that course - comes looking for an answer.)
You could try (ab)using bulleted lists:
Insert a bulleted list
Right click on the bullet, select "More bullets..."
In the "Symbol" selection list, choose "Format & whitespace" and select one of the whitespace options as bullet char
Repeat for as many levels (of bullet sub-lists) as you think you may need in your program
Fix indentation to match whatever feels best for you
Every time you need to write a nested block, you will have to press "tab" only once, then bullet list level is kept and the indentation with it. To go back to the outer block, just press shift-tab.
However, IMHO it doesn't worth the trouble. Generally, interview question solutions are not that large and hitting spacebar a couple of times is not much of an overhead.
It's somewhat cumbersome but you can set as many tab stops as you want, and docs will move nested tabs to the next tab stop as well. For example:
You can add tab stops by right clicking on that tab bar where you want the tab stop to be and clicking Add left tab stop. You'll want to have all text in the document selected if you want the tab stop to apply everywhere.
I do'nt know if this is possible or if its called tags
im using dreamweaver cs4, in source mode view it displays line numbers to the left, I wish I could add some kind of "tag" to a certain line, and then have some sort of menu where it scrolls me to the tag.
Does this makes any sense?
It's because I have a huge source file that I need to navigate a lot in different places while coding and this "feature" would make my life a LOT easier.
Any help is appreciated.
Best Regards
It sounds like you're looking is what I've heard called a number of times "bookmarking". Unfortunately, Dreamweaver does not have this functionality built in. Not quite the same thing, but if you remember the line number you can jump to the line using a keyboard shortcut: CTRL+G on Windows, I think Cmd+, on Mac this pop up a little dialog you can enter the line number and hit enter to jump to that line.
I am using MonoTouch.Dialog's OwnerDrawnElement, but it doesn't seem to allow the user to 'highlight' the cell when touching the screen. I've looked at the sample, but it doesn't show the highlighting. Any suggestions?
I noticed that TweetStation doesn't seem to user OwnerDrawnElement. Should I take another approach? I need to create a custom display cell much like TweetStation.
The OwnerDrawnElement was a contribution from the community, and it is not as sophisticated as it should be. I would not depend on it for anything beyond the trivially basic.
I strongly recommend that you create your own Element, if you want to reuse some of the code for OwnerDrawElement, you could copy and paste that.
