How can I add custom places to the "Copy to" and "Move to" option of the Nemo file manager (see picture below)? I have some special folders reserved for pdf files and I like to use the ease to move files into them via the respective options. How can I add those to the menu?
OK. I found the answer myself. Here it is:
You can simply drag and drop a folder into the sidebar.
This will make it become a "Bookmark" and show-up as a place.
It is as simple as that, but I find poorly documented.

I have a problem. Content of files in md file format is barely visible in Notepad++.
I use "Solarized" style/theme. I cannot see a way to change the look just for md files alone.
Files written in python, txt, C++ are handled OK. Just MD files are causing issues.

Is there a way to do something about it?
I don't think Notepad++ has a built-in "Language" for Markdown. You've probably installed a plugin, or somehow imported a user-defined language. To make adjustments, go to the menu Language > Define Your Language... and examine the dialog.
Make sure you choose "Markdown" from the drop-down box at the top of that dialog window.
Under the tab "Folder & Default", click the "Styler" button for "Default Style". Select a nice neutral grey or whatever suits your fancy with that theme. If there are other colors which are difficult to read, they can be adjusted similarly in the other tabs.
In the Sublime Text sidebar is there a way to have project folders displayed in alphabetical order, instead of by the order that the folders were added.
This is driving me nuts. I've searched everywhere for this and have given up, but it's so painful.
The contents of side bar folders are displayed in a sorted (lexical) ordering, with all sub-folders brought to the top instead of being in their natural sort position. There is currently no setting available or internal API that allows for changing that.
That said, the ordering of top level folders that you have manually added to your project is entirely under your control and defaults (as you've noticed) to the order that they were added in.
The folders in the sidebar are listed in the order that they're listed in the folders section of the sublime-project file. You can use Project > Edit Project to open your project file and manually reorder the elements in the folders list.
Additionally you can also click and drag the top level folders to change their relative ordering. Doing so causes Sublime to automatically rewrite the project file for you.
If the Project > Edit Project setting is not enabled, you haven't saved the current session as a project yet. In that case there will be no project file until you create one, but you can still drag to reorder the folders.
You can use sublime plugins for this. One that I can think of is SortTabs
In Sublime Text 3, if you have "Project Manager" installed use it to CLEAR RECENT PROJECTS. Then when you look for a project to open with Ctrl-Alt-P, they will be in alphabetic order.
To install "Project Manager" on the menu go to Preferences-Package Control, then click on Install Package. Scroll to find "Project Manager". Click on it to install. Restart Sublime Text. It will be on menu at bottom of Projects.
I am trying to use sublime for editing and making rainmeter skins, I have installed a plugin that recognizes rainmeter code nice.
In my code I have an #include=\somelocation...
at that location the file has things like colour=something
In the actual file being loaded fontColor=#colour#
How do I get it so that if I change the name of colour inside the location file it would update everywhere else?
You can use the Find in Files... functionality, located in the Find menu. In the Find: box, enter what you'd like to look for (the buttons to the left allow you to search by regex, respect capitalization, and other options - just mouse over for a description). In the Where: box, enter where you'd like to search. If nothing is entered, the search will run in all open files and folders. Click on the ... button for some extra options. Finally, enter what you'd like to replace the found values with (if anything, you can also use this dialog to simply search files).
Clicking Find will first perform the search for you, so you can verify its results. Clicking Replace will do all the replacements.
I want to add an already existing directory to a directory in Solution Explorer, but whenever I right-click on the directory and select Add => Existing Item, I can only add individual files, but not directories.
How do I add an already existing directory to a directory inside a Project inside Solution Explorer?
Click the 'Show all files' button at the top of the Solution Explorer and right click the folder desired and select 'include in project'.
Drag and drop the folder from Windows Explorer onto your Visual Studio solution window :)

or simply copy & paste into solution explorer.
VS 2012 seems to distinguish between 'Solution Folders', which are only folders containing either other solution folders, or containing project folders. The drag-and-drop works (with my settings) only for the project folders, and no for the solution folders.
If I add a new solution folder, nothing happens on the machine. If I drag-and-drop a machine folder to the main Solution, it refuses to accept it. If I drag-and-drop the folder to a Solution Folder, I get an error message saying this cannot be done.
Some other answers are missing an important point: if the folder is not in a project in the solution it is impossible to add the folder
This is the solution:
1) Add a new folder to the sln - it does not care that the folder already exists on the disk because this a virtual folder in the sln
2) Add the file to the folder using "add existing files"
When dealing with a solution level folder that has been removed for some reason, and now needs to be added back, open the .sln file in a text editor like notepad++.
Find your "FolderName" in the section that looks like this...
Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "NewFolder1", "NewFolder1", "{73ED84FC-F250-4CCC-B267-34CEB67F2883}"
EndProject
Delete from "Project" to "EndProject" ONLY for the specific Project/Folder you're having trouble with.
You may get a message in VS2012 that says your solution has been modified by an external source. Choose the option to "Discard" your changes for the external changes. Lastly, add your solution level folder, and add your project(s) to that folder as existing items, drag/drop them, or copy and paste them, according to your preference.
For those who had a hunch it could be done but weren't able to do it, NOTE: Drag Folder or Files ONTO the name of the Project Name in Solution Explorer in the least
Expand the "Project" item in the menu bar and select "Show All Files". Then locate the folder you wish to add in the Solution Explorer (folders that are not currently included will be light grey with a dotted outline instead of the usual solid icon) right click the desired folder and select "Include in project"
Once finished select "Show All Files" from the Project menu again to return to the regular view.
(This is very similar to Radenko Zec's answer, but does not require the "Show All Files" button to already be present in a toolbar. I would just leave this as a response to his answer, but I don't currently have the reputation to leave comments.)
I have recently started using Cornerstone as an svn client. I have yet to figure out how to change file extension associations. In my case, it appears the default file type associated with a .m extension is objective C.
In my case these files should be associated with matlab files. The cornerstone documentation appears pretty light, so does anybody have an idea how/where I can change this behavior?
In Cornerstone, click on a file of the filetype you want to change. Then select the inspector (the i in the top right). Under the "Information" tab, if you scroll all the way to the bottom you should see an "Open With" option that you can configure.
