When i was working in Sublime Text 2 i had for using good plugin (look at screen):
I saw it in VS2013, but i haven't SP1 for this program. Could i get a name plugin for VS 2012 if it exists?

For Vs2017 User, now we can setup at Tools->Options->Text Editor ->Scroll bars
Ref: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/cdnstudents/2014/01/21/visual-studio-tips-and-tricks-enhanced-scroll-bar/

You can achieve the same functionality in VS2012 using the Productivity Power Tools extension.
The feature is under the enhanced scroll bar options - "map mode".

Alternative for Android Studio Theme Editor

As mentioned here, Google has disabled the Android Studio Theme Editor starting from version 3.3.
They have what seems like an alternative called Material Theme Editor, but it's only available for MacOS. Is anyone familiar with an alternative that works on Windows?

How to enable syntax highlighting for *.handlebars files within Visual Studio 2012?

The broader question might be "Can you associate existing syntax highlighting (e.g. *.html) with arbitrary file extensions (e.g. *.handlebars) within Visual Studio 2012?"
I know there is an extension which allows highlighting of handlebars templates within *.html files, however I require the naming convention of *.handlebars for precompilation.
Under Visual Studio -> Tools -> Options you can set the type of editor for each extension:
I have the following features installed, not sure which one acctually installs the Javascript Editor:
The Visual Studio Web Developer Tools (out of the box feature)
The ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1
Visual Studio 2012 Extensions for the Windows Library for Javascript
WebEssentials
And of course Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
I totally agree with #jessehouwing but instead of choosing "Javascript Editor" simply choose "Html Editor". The problem is that if you're using a framework like EmberJS VS still won't recognize the syntax.
For instance:
<a href="#" class="deletelist" {{action "deleteTodoList" todoListId}}>X</a>
The action won't be recognized as valid syntax.

How to map Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 forward/back buttons to mouse forward/back buttons?

I have read posts about having add-ons or extra programs that listen to and respond to other buttons than the traditional left- right- middle- click functionality in a mouse. However, all of them were dedicated to version 2010 of Visual Studio. Is there any way to remap extra mouse button presses to the forward/back commands in Visual Studio 2012?
(if it helps I am using a RAT 7 amazon)
Found a nice Mouse navigation extension. Not sure if it only works exclusively on 2012, but it does work on 2012. http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/87fb8c65-d1db-49e9-a068-d62a222a4ae7
If anyone interested in the link for the info I found on 2010 stuff, here it is: How do I edit Visual Studio's mouse shortcuts?

Visual Studio 2012 UI customization

Are there any add-ins available that let you customize the UI look and feel for Visual Studio 2012 IDE?
This extension gives you basic control over the VS2012 colour palette:

Unfortunately there's no control over icons, appearance/roundness of windows etc in this extension however.
Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor is for you, as Daniel said.
There is also an open source project that can restore VS 2010 icons in VS 2012 :
Visual Studio Icon Patcher.
I wouldn't use it anyways, as it's more a hack, than a real solution.

How to enable CSS editor features in VS 2012?

I seem to be missing all of the cool CSS editor features that were in VS 2012 RC. For example, the color picker. Is it because I am using the evaluation version? Or is there a switch to turn them on in the release?
You need the "Web Essentials 2012" extension from "Tools > Extensions and Updates > Online > Visual Studio Gallery." A restart of VS2012 will be required.
Hope it helps!
