How to fix a broken Sublime 3 word wrap function? - sublimetext3

I was trying to work on my css and html in two columns but the word wrap function is not working. I have tried making sure word wrap is checked under View. Didn't work.
I went to preferences/settings to override it and make it work. See the picture below. On the right column is the settings and at the bottom you can see where I made word wrap always turn on. Then I made it always set a 100 characters.
On the left is my index.html with a ruler at 100 characters and obviously it didn't work. And, yes, I have closed it and restarted it. Any solutions besides uninstalling and reinstalling? Thank you.

How to correct Sublime Text 4 opening any file half-line scrolled

My Sublime Text 4 is opening files with their top lines going scrolled beyond the tab bar and half shown (attaching the screenshot). You'll see that the top line of the css file (which is html element) is half scrolled. This is happening to all the files regardless of their type.
I tried setting caret_extra_top and caret_extra_bottom to zero but didn't help. Also set line_padding_top and line_padding_bottom to zero but this too didn't help.
Can you please help in solving this for me? Just in case, I'm using Menlo at 10 size as the font in sublime.
I solved it myself, finally. Answering it here for anyone who stumbles upon this in future after being creative with his/her IDE like myself. Lol
I had used a python script which collapses/folds content of the file by given level upon opening the file. It was this functionality which was causing this behaviour. No matter the levels to fold the content, it is scrolling the first line by half. Just disabling/ removing that

How to expand an UltiSnips snippet using <c-y> in the YouCompleteMe pop-up menu?

This problem really hit a nerve with me. I have both YouCompleteMe and UltiSnips installed on my vim 8.0 editor. It seems that both of these plugins use the tab key for doing the auto-completion and that has created an incompatibility that has been also addressed by this question. My question is more specific, though. When I write a piece of code like <html, there is a pop-up menu that shows me all related snippets for that code.
I use the tab key to navigate through that menu but when I hit ctrl+y to accept and therefore expand one of these snippets, nothing happens! I think this structure suggests that it's possible to somehow choose one of those snippets from the menu without trying to define a shortcut for UltiSnip. What am I doing wrong? How should I navigate and choose those snippets?
I also would not want to stuff my vim with any new plugins (like supertab, etc.).
The solution was actually a lot simpler than I expected. In the beginning, I felt stupid for not knowing it but when I find a similar question like this one, I thought that probably many were fallen into the same trap.
I don't know whether to name it a bug or not but it's how Ultisnips and YouCompleteMe work together. In order to expand a snippet, you have to write the initializer exactly as it's defined. Of course, this seems obvious, but when you see a pop-up menu of different snippets, you might think they can be chosen but it only works if you already wrote the snippet initializer exactly as it's defined.
So when a snippet is called "html5"---as it's shown in my question---writing an extra opening bracket (<) will cause it to stop working. It cannot be expanded.
Also, don't forget to check out Siegfried Gevatter configuration. It's not possible to use tab key both for navigating into the pop-up menu and expanding the snippets.
P.S. It was nice if navigating through the pop-up menu could change the whole word (including the angle bracket), not just what succeeds it. This feature works this way in most of the other editors I see and that's probably why I wasn't able to spot the problem in the beginning.

2 spaces indentation in google Docs

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.

Additional icon to ratchet Ratchicon set

I am using Cordova, Phonegap and Ratchet for an iOS application.
How can I have additional icons with last version of Ratchet?
We tried to use bootstrap icon set but it has some kind of conflict with Ratchet CSS.
I added ratchet-ios7.css from Github, and it seems have more icons but I can not use them and the documentation link of the package is not working too.
Is there any solutions?
I had a similar problem, and managed to fix it as below. BUT, I didn't use this ratchet-ios7.css, and after looking a bit into that, it doesn't look like my answer will apply to that part of your question. This answer is specifically to add icons to the ratchet icons.
So then:
Go to http://icomoon.io/app/
Import the ratchicons.svg (found in the ratchet/ratchicons directory), and import the .svg of the icon set that you want to add to it. (They also have a bunch of their own icon sets as well)
Select any/all of the icons you want included (I suggest at least including all of the ratchicons, just to make sure it doesn't mess up with how the Ratchet stuff works and so you won't have to edit it yourself). When you're satisfied, click the "Font" button at the bottom of the window, and you'll see all the selected icons and their codes (the same ones that can be seen at the bottom of ratchet.css).
In the top left, make sure the "U+" is toggled to true. If it is a darker shade of grey and you see their unicode attributes underneath the icons (ex. "e600"), then it is set to true. I'm not entirely sure what the "fi" toggle does in terms of how it affects the code, but I just left it alone (just to play it safe).
Go through the list and change the names of any icons you want, if they don't accurately convey what they are and/or if they don't conform to the naming convention.
Also in the top-left, click the Preferences button, and in the Font Name input field, replace "icomoon" with "ratchicons". I don't remember if I changed the Class Prefix field or not, though I don't think it particularly matters (someone feel free to correct me on that). Lastly, make sure "Encode & Embed Font in CSS" is checked. Click the "X" button in the top-right.
When everything looks schpick-n-schpam, click the download button in the footer, and you'll get a zip folder.
Unpack that sucker and inside that you will see several folders/files; the one we're looking for is "fonts". Open that one. Inside that you will see 4 files, each one named ratchicons and each with a different file extension (all of which are the ones we need!). Copy all 4 files.
Nagivate to your ratchicons folder (the one you got the initial ratchicons.svg from), and just rename all these to something else (ex. "ratchicons.woff" -> "ratchicons_old.woff"), just to keep the working ones available. Now Paste the new files here.
Now, editing the ratchet.css file directly isn't the best practice, but this doesn't pose any problems as far as I've experienced, so we're going to do just that. Open up ratchet.css and go right to the bottom. You'll see all the .icon- css selectors that come standard with ratchet, and now we're going to add our new ones. Go back to the folder you downloaded and unpacked and open style.css. See all those .icon-*:before{} selectors, like the ones in ratchet.css? Copy all of those, and paste them over the ones in ratchet.css
You should now be able to use your new icons in the exact same way as the standard ratchet icons! Just use the icon's name you gave on the website in the class="" attribute. If you need to change a name or something, just make the edits in the ratchet.css. Also, for anything I missed and/or if you're curious, here's the docs for IcoMoon: http://icomoon.io/#docs
Update
As pointed out in the comments, in the unicode strings, the numbers in the code must be higher than 255. Otherwise, they will conflict with normal ASCII character unicodes. I'm not sure exactly what the lower limit is, but if you stick to much higher numbers (500s-900s) you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Weird text highlighting problem on website

I have this strange problem on my web page where if you click below the left side-panel, all the links get highlighted. It happens in firefox, not IE. I don't know why its only the side-panel that it happens to. Its not really a big deal but its extremely annoying to me, is there any way to stop it? If you want to check it out, the site is http://www.bhslaughter.com/
Not to sound harsh, but that's a serious case of div-itis. You might want to check the number of links that you have, the open and closing of the div's, empty anchor links and the wrapping of your multiple tables.
Good luck with your project.
Well I found out what it was. I had the left side menu floated inside the table. It was a left over from before I used the table to layout the page
