When using VsVim and ReSharper, I type something that brings up the intellisense window. I want to make it go away, so I press the escape key. The intellisense window is gone, but I'm also back in normal mode.
Is there a way to make the intellisense window go away and stay in insert mode?
I'm currently working on a guide for working with VsVim and Resharper ( https://github.com/keithn/vsvimguide )
One of the little tricks I found for this situation is to press Alt then Alt again and it gets rid of the autocomplete.
What it's actually doing is taking you to the menu bar then takes you back to editing but ditches the autocomplete in the process.

Trying to perform the Ctrl + G (Go to line) keyboard shortcut, seems I accidentally activated a feature that pins the code the cursor was previously on.
After closing and reopening the file, things are worse; the code snippets still are floating over the screen, no matter if I move the Android Studio window.
I have searched keyboard shortcuts using this guide, but no luck.
Is there a way to disable or revert this?
Noticed by comment below and confirmed by myself: This happens after extracting a method.
I have been able to get rid of those permanent tooltips by invalidating caches and restart, but this should not be the way to disable them, as I still don't know which is the keyboard shortcut to toggle this "pin snippet" function.
In Android Studio, pressing the up an down arrows will change the contrast of the autopopup bar.
Before
After
This also occurs in the default themes. Is there anyway to make the contrast start in the after position, even without pressing any arrows?
The popup is dimmed to indicate that there is no default selection for completion. It depends on context and in some cases the first entry will be selected automatically, while in the other cases you need to select the completion varian with the arrow keys first.
To get the pre-selection work automatically in IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio enable the Insert selected suggestion by pressing space, dot, or other context-dependent keys option:
In some other cases it may be also necessary to add
-Dide.completion.lookup.element.preselect.depends.on.context=false
in Help | Edit Custom VM Options and restart the IDE.

I'm using the IdeaVim plugin for Android Studio, which introduces vim selection semantics and insert/normal mode. When there is a selection, something akin to visual mode is used. However, it is possible to select text while inside either of these modes, and the result is some hybrid insert-visual mode which is highly confusing and leads me to tons of accidental edits (i.e. clicking an editable area sometimes puts me in a mode I don't understand).
If I could completely disable mouse selection (using mouse only to select text, like set mouse=ni), it would make the editor much more comfortable, as this is my preferred vim selection mechanic.
There seems to be no standard option for disabling mouse selection. Is some modification feasible?
I still need to be able to select text using IdeaVim visual mode, i.e. v followed by cursor keys.
Is there a way to disable mouse support in file edition on ideavim? It is really annoying that it enters into visual mode each time I click.
It isn't possible to have the same behavior as vim without mouse in terminal, but can I have it on pycharm's ideavim?
I also hate when the editor suddently goes into visual mode when I accidentally drag with the mouse. I ended up modifying the ideavim source and compiled my own version. I got the idea from another answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/24256022/598781
I just return immediately in the EditorMouseHandler.mouseDragged method. i.e. changed line 1772 in the file ideavim/src/com/maddyhome/idea/vim/group/MotionGroup.java to:
if (true || !VimPlugin.isEnabled()) return;
This change could have some consequences, but I don't use mouse select anyway.
It's not possible to disable mouse support in Vim emulation. Note however that IdeaVim switches to Visual selection mode only when you're selecting text with the mouse. Simple clicks shouldn't make IdeaVim enter visual selection mode.
You should try :set selectmode=mouse,ideaselection. It is a workaround but that worked for me.

I just installed my Visual Basic and this is a problem I couldnt find an answer to. Everytime I press ALT it gets me out of code, and because I use SHIFT+ALT to change keyboards a lot while writing code, this is really disturbing to have to click in code again to be able to write.
Any ideas ?
Are you referring to the normal Windows way of accessing the menu via keyboard? This has nothing to do with Visual Studio; it will work similarly in almost any Windows application.
E.g. pressing Alt+F will open the File Menu etc. Just pressing Alt will highlight the menu (you should see the shortcut letters underlined for each item) and pressing a letter key will then open the menu. Instead, press Alt again to return to what you were doing before.
