I am using ST3 on Windows and have installed the package from the website -- https://packagecontrol.io/packages/JavaScript%20Completions
But I am unable to get the pop-ups to work as expected like the example on the packagecontrol.io website.
Are there some settings or anything that can or need to be turned on to get this to work?
Thanks!
After turning on a few other autocompletions and saving the preferences, I restarted Sublime Text 3 and the menu started showing up.

I'm trying to figure out how to change the font used in non-editor tabs in Visual Studio Code; right now this is what I'm getting (zoom the picture to better see what I'm referring to):
As you can see, a Serif font is used on these non-editor tabs (extension info, Git Graph tab, etc.), making it quite unpleasant and really hard to read.
This happened all of a sudden, I'm quite sure that it is not the default and a nicer and more readable Sans font was used before (like on the left panel), until this problem occurred. I've tried to find if it is possible to change this from inside VSC, but I'm only able to change the fonts used in the editor tabs.
I don't know why and how this behavior has started, and I'm not really sure if this issue is caused by VSC itself, by an extension, by the OS, or something else.
If it matters, I'm working on Linux, on a fully updated openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE, and like I said this problem started to manifest itself only recently, it was not how it worked by default.
Any clue on how to solve this?
Visual Studio Code does not offer convenient solution out of the box to change the UI font family.
But a developer created the Customize UI plugin for VS Code.
⚠️ EDIT 02/01/2023: following the version 1.74, the Customize UI plugin no longer work, see here. There is currently no ways to change the font in VSCode.
Setup
Install the Customize UI plugin
Restart VS Code
Open VS Code Settings
Change Customize UI Font:Monospace to Fira Code
Change Customize UI Font:Regular to Helvetica Nueve or Arial depending on your OS
Alternativaly, you can edit those settings using the json settings editor as follow:
"customizeUI.font.regular": "Helvetica Nueve",
"customizeUI.font.monospace": "Fira Code",
GitHub issue here
vscode is an electron app so you can actually just open up the developer tools in the help menu, look up the location of workbench.desktop.main.css under the source tab, make a backup and edit the font-family rule for your OS.
There's a pretty gnarly-phrased notification that pops up about vscode being corrupted, however the linked-documentation is fairly clear it's just unsupported officially.
In most of the Linux distributions we get the option to change the fonts systemwide if you are okay with changing the system font.
Not to long ago (well, maybe months and months), Sublime 3 has started launching as a singular window with tabbed windows that have their own tabs. I despise this approach. See screen shot:
How do I disable this behavior?
Version 3.1.1 build 3176
The only Packages I have installed are:
A File Icon
Groovy Snippets
Material Theme
Package Control
Pretty JSON
This particular feature is something that's happening as a result of your using MacOS (i.e. it's not something that Sublime does natively; the OS is doing it on your behalf).
In the general case most MacOS applications should have native menu items to combine windows together like this at the user's request in combination with the Prefer tabs when opening documents setting in the Dock area of the system preferences.
Sublime doesn't support the native menu items for this (yet), so it relies solely on the setting; having it set to Always (and also In Full Screen Only, but this tends to cause problems with Sublime) makes MacOS automatically "tab" new windows. Setting that setting to Manually stops this from happening.
This is also somewhat controlled by the Theme that you're using in Sublime. For MacOS, a Sublime theme can theme the menu bar of the window to match the overall application theme. Behind the scenes, this makes Sublime declare to MacOS that it wants to be in charge of displaying it's own window, which stops the system from automatically combining windows together.
An example of a theme that does this is the Adaptive theme that ships with Sublime.
Basically:
Using Sublime Text: build 3114 on Win7
Every time when I move between open files in different tabs the side bar annoyingly keeps activating itself each time and keeps sliding in.
Is this a bug or am I missing some setting somewhere that I have to tweak?
Looked all over the place for an explanation/settings option but no luck.
I have Sublime on another Win7 machine and the sidebar behaves as expected. It doesn't activate itself when I move between open files.
YES!!! finally found what was doing it :)
An obscure plugin I had : AutoHide Sidebar , Uninstalled and all is good..finally...
Hope this helps anyone who gets in my situation.
you can hide side bar from view
i had the same problem.
I did resolve it! just uninstall package AutoHide Sidebar and SyncedSideBar.
I was writing some HTML in Sublime Text 2 and I noticed that the auto complete feature was no longer working. Just so we're clear, I'm not referring to the dropdown menu that suggests elements but rather the tag completion. Normally what happens is if I were to type an opening tag all I'd have to do is type the beginning of the closing tag and it would auto complete the tag which obviously saved a lot of time but now it's not working for some reason. I do have package control installed along with quite a few extensions but I heard that this feature is actually built in. I deleted ST2 off my computer and re-downloaded it, and it still isn't working so I'm not sure what else to try.
Is this feature really a default feature in Sublime Text 2? If so, why wasn't it working when I re-installed Sublime Text 2?
I'm on a Mac and I'm running Yosemite.
Thank you for reading.
Installed Sublime Text 3 and it works again.
I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.
In an editor (xml, jsp, doesn't matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.
First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programs. Then I tried using the context menus' c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an error message when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.
For my problem, I had to go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing, and uncheck "Update imports"
This must be related to the key mapping, since those shortcuts are defined according to context.
(Column "When", in Preferences / General / Keys)
Check if those shortcuts do not work for any editor (do they work for Java editor?)
If they work for some editor, not for other, then some plugin settings must have re-affected them to another command.
This is caused by various X clipboard managers doing weird things with the clipboard. (bug report).
In XFCE the clipman applet was rolled in XFCE 4.8, and will be the source of these problems.
To fix this in XFCE - kill xfce4-settings-helper. You will need to use Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session to kill it, as otherwise it may restart automatically.
To prevent this starting next time, you will need to remove it from your startup/login programs in Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.
Problem was solved with newer Eclipse releases. I think >= 3.6. Depending on your distribution there may be a (back)port of this (not on my Xubuntu 11.04) within the repositories.
So a tarball installation of Eclipse 4.0 works perfectly for me. Cut&Paste works and I am lucky that my plugins are compatible to 4.0.
Unfortunately Sublime Text has the same problems.
I read somewhere that in KDE maybe Klipper / "Klipper on the panel" conflicts with eclipse copy action.
It's a tool for clipboard history. Try to remove that! It may solve your problem :-/
For me the xfce4-settings-helper killing worked.
Workaround:
You can cut&paste from the compare view. So simply compare the un-copyable file (e.g., local history) with a different version and Control-C what you need there.
In the *.java editor page, right click and select open in text editor. Past your snippet there. Your Snippet will show in the *.java page'
I use Eclipse Kepler for PHP development. It's dumb I know.
None of the solutions suggested here has solved this source of frustration.
I can confirm the copy function works whether shortcut keys are bound or not. As I can copy from eclipse and paste into any other application. Except eclipse.
My solution. Accidental discovery: Eclipse Kepler will allow you to paste outside the php open and close tags and allow you to click and drag the highlighted block of content into into position.
Acceptable solution for small bits of code. Horribly crippling for larger development environments.
For Xming, this resolved the problem for me. In XLaunch uncheck Clipboard (clipboard manager) in the "Specify parameter settings" GUI form.
