Sublime text 3 open folder option not working - sublimetext3

When I go to open the folder in Sublime Text 3 and open some folder, instead of creating a sidebar and opening the folder, it just opens a window with the name of the window set to the name of the folder. And the window will be empty! So, for example, I opened a folder called Shopping Cart tutorial. Instead of creating a sidebar and opening the folder, it will create a window with Shopping Cart Tutorial as the name of the window. Again, it will be empty, unless I open some file. Any ideas on how to fix that?

The issue you're seeing here is either that the side bar is not currently being told to be visible, or it's set to be visible but it has nothing to display.
The fix in the first instance is to select View > Side Bar > Show Side bar from the menu, select View: Toggle Side Bar from the command palette, or press Ctrl+KCtrl+B.
The visibility of the side bar is a window by window setting, so if you have this option turned off initially you'll have to perform this step in all current windows to get it to be visible everywhere. Once it's visible, the state is saved and will be used for new windows.
You may notice that this either has no effect, or the menu item in question isn't available and says Hide Side Bar instead. The reason for this is second item I mentioned above; it has nothing to display.
Sublime tries to be as minimal as possible with its UI Chrome so that there's as much room as possible for editing text. For that reason, it will hide the side bar if it thinks that it doesn't need it to be visible.
The side bar can display two things: the list of folders you have open/in your project and the list of files that are currently open. The display of currently open files is controlled by the View > Side Bar > Show Open Files menu item (or the associated toggle command in the command palette).
No matter what you do, the side bar will remain invisible if you have no folders or files open, so regardless of any setting a newly created window that has no folders open and no files open will always have no side bar.
If you turn on the option to show open files, the side bar will appear even in windows where there are no folders open, so long as there is a file open (even an unsaved new file).

Sublime Text 3: Hide tab bar in only one view

If I have multiple views open in a window in Sublime Text 3, is there a way for me to hide the tab bar in only one of the views, rather than View > Hide Tabs, which hides the tab bar in all views?
Except for Justin's workaround, there is not a way to do this in a single window. The toggle_tabs command is associated with the window, not an individual view, so it operates on all views within a particular window.
Hypothetically, you could write a Python plugin to execute toggle_tabs every time you switched to a particular view, but it would have to be file- or file type-specific.
If its just one view just drag it to make it a new window that way you will have two windows, one with the tabs you wish to see and other with ones you dont want to see

How can I mirror a single click on in a browser with multiple tabs opened?

For instance I have like 50 tabs opened right? How can I for instance use the first tab and mirror the cursor clicks to every other tab opened in the current browser? Is it possible I've searched online but no dice, it's about a game that uses skins and I wanna make it easier for me because I have to single handidly open a tab to tab and click on that specific spot and why would I do that when there is probably methods for that.

How to restore VBA Editor to its initial settings?

How to restore the VBA Editor to its intial settings ? I have some troubles with macro and projects explorer windows settings, after some bad manipulations.
The only way I know how to accomplish this is to edit the registry.
Close All Office programs
Open a command prompt and type regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\6.0\Common
Right click on Common and Export to save the *.reg file somewhere safe. This is your back up. Double clicking this file will restore your current settings.
Right click on Common and Delete it. Doing this will remove all of
its subkeys that hold your personal settings.
The "Common" key will be recreated the next time you close the VBA Editor along with any changes to the settings you may make.
I have the same issue, it's simple:
TOOLS
OPTIONS
DOCKING
Then select Object Browser, Project Explorer and that's all.
I had the same problem and realised that if I double click the blue heading of a minimal floating menu, such as the Project-VBAProject menu, it would resize and fit in with the other menus that are expanded. With a bit of moving around and double clicking the headers of the menus that I had selected from the VIEW option, I could get the screen back to the way it originally looked at the default setting of the VBA editor.

Solution Using a Mac and Excel 2016.
I found that I could drag the, e.g., project explorer (pe) window toward the edge of the vb window and the outline of the pe window moves and adjusts once you get close enough to the edge. This also works with the other windows as you bring them into view.
My default view is project explorer upper left, properties lower left. To return these to be in that order, drag the one to that location (which will fill that whole area) then drag the other one right on top of that one. That stacks them in the same column and then you can adjust their size within those locations.
I had this same issue and fought with it for literally 2 days. Finally figured it out!!!
xD First close the Project Explorer and the Properties windows using the X at the top right. Then go to Options under the Docking tab. Uncheck all boxes. Close the options window and if desired check to see that everything is undocked. Now go back to Options>Docking and check all the boxes you had checked (default is all but object browser). Your windows should have returned to default.
This may not solve the OPs original question of "default" for all, but in my case and possibly others I was looking to re-dock the "Project Explorer" and have modules pop up next to it like default. I'm not sure about other settings, but this is how I restored the above behavior.
In the project explorer right click and select "Dockable". Then insert a module and maximize it. This should restore what I consider default behavior.
Actually, it is very easy. You just have to go to View Tab then Click on the Project Explorer & Properties Window. It worked for me because I lost these two and now I got it by doing this. I hope so you will get the same result as well. View the image for more clarity.
Simple steps. Works for Mac , maybe windows too
Close all the tabs in the VBE
View --> Code . This will occupy entire space
After that ,view --> project explorer. this will pop up a tab, drag that tab to the top left corner. It auto fills into a small column which you can drag according to your preference .
Now select view --> properties window and drag the tab to bottom left.
Additional step ( if you use locals window )
Select locals window from view and drag it to the bottom.
Right click any of the window you want to move and click "Dockable". This should allow you to move all the windows as you want and place them as you wish.
I had all menus and windows missing, like no "File", no "Edit", no "View", etc.
Here's what I did:
Closed Excel
Opened the Registry Editor
Navigated to HKEY_CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\VBA
Right clicked on VBA and renamed to VBA_old
Closed the Registry Editor
Opened Excel
Opened Visual Basic
…and voila, VBA was back to normal!
After that, I:
Reopened the Registry Editor and saw that VBA had been recreated
Deleted VBA_old
I'm not aware of a 'reset' command but the starting point would be to go to the View menu and start by setting the Code, Project Explorer and Properties windows and then the Toolbars>Standard (toolbar) perhaps?

Vim change titlebar to match file in tab

If I open a file in vim, the titlebar displays the file and path of what I opened. Great. But if I open another tab, and switch to that new tab, the title bar never changes. Even if I completely change files, such as by doing :edit <newfile>, the title bar never changes.
I have set the status bar to correctly match the file that is open, however I would like the title bar to do the same. Its confusing sometimes seeing different information displayed at the top and bottom of my window. How can I set the title bar to display the new file that is currently displayed?
:set titlestring=%F seems to have fixed it for me. I guess this was a simple one
You can find more info with
:help titlestring

Why is Excel / Word 2013 starting invisible?

Our Company recently upgraded to Office 2013 since we want to use SharePoint 2013.
We had several issues with the new Office Version but Microsoft has already solved some of them.
Anyways, one thing sitll grinds my gears:
Excel or Word sometimes starts invisible. It is visible in the Taskbar but the window doesnt pop up. I can click on the Icon in the taskbar but it doesn't change anything. The only way i figured out to show the window, is to use [Windows] + [Arrow Keys].
I can't tell the constellation why this is happening but most of the time it is if there isn't already another instance of the program running.
I don't have Office 2013 at home to reconstruct this but I have seen this on different Computers at our Office.
Now does anybody know about this issue?
What can I do about it?
Is it known to Microsoft?
Any help is appreciated.
I don't think that it's invisible, it's just starting off screen somewhere. Perhaps on a second monitor that is no longer there (or moved virtually to the other side). The [Windows] + [Arrows Keys] just moves the window onscreen where you can see it.
Alternatively, you could hover the mouse over the icon on the task bar, right click on the preview window and then select Move (if Move is grayed out, select restore and repeat). Then, hit any [Arrow Key] (this will attach your mouse to the window caption bar) then move your mouse (without clicking anything) until the window shows up on screen.
By doing this you can figure out what side of the screen the application is opening up (not that knowing helps much). Excel should just show up where ever you had it last, but it will not remember it's location if you snap it to the sides or top of the screen (which is what you were doing); It will only remember the Normal View size and position of the window.
My workaround for this bug is to click the Taskbar icon for the new (invisible) window while it's active, which minimizes the window, then click it again to restore it. Then it becomes visible.
I have the same issue, and it's definitely an invisible window, not off-screen (see workaround below).
It only happens in specific circumstances: when opening a second word doc from a sharepoint/office 365 location, the second doc gets a taskbar icon, but no visible content, so the first doc is still visible (but the second doc is invisibly in front of it).
The workaround is to click the minimise button on the first doc. Nothing will appear to happen because it's the invisible second doc window that receives the click event. Then select the icon on the task bar to make it reappear, properly visible.
