Komodo Edit - how to add code completion to a my files - komodo

I am new to Komodo Edit. How can I add IntelliSense to my own files?
For example: myFirst.js that includes auto completion for objects or functions that were defined in mySecond.js?
Also, how can I add auto completion to my CSS file from my HTML file?
Another example: in Visual Studio I put this statement at the beginning of file2.js:
/// <reference path="../js/file1.js" />
And then I had IntelliSense for file1.js inside file2.js.

Open menu Edit → Preferences → Languages → JavaScript and specify directory with your source files.
Komodo will scan them for information about your functions.

As long as both files are under the same project, Komodo should automatically pick up on them and provide code intelligence. But make sure you are using a project and not just editing your files plainly as Komodo will not know how to associate your files.
Note though that if you are abstracting your JavaScript code too much that code intelligence will not be able to keep track of what you are trying to do. But you'd have to include some samples of your code for us to be able to comment further on that.
Also note this open bug, which may be related to your issue: http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=101646

Where do I put custom syntax highlighter definitions for Sublime Text?

I have created a custom syntax definition in the new .sublime-syntax format, but I can seem to get it to appear in my list of available syntaxes...
I have tried putting it in:
<Install Location>/Packages
<Install Location>/Packages/User
<Install Location/Data/Packages
<Install Location/Data/Packages/User
%APPDATA%/Packages
%APPDATA%/Packages/User
The documentation seems to be bit light on how this works, but I'm hoping that someone can enlighten me!
The proper location for user-defined syntaxes, plugins, build systems, etc. is Packages/User, where Packages is the folder opened by selecting Preferences -> Browse Packages...*. I'm not on Windows at the moment, but I believe this is %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User. Once you place the file there, it will be available from the syntax menu under User.
Also, please recall that .sublime-syntax files are only supported in the dev builds currently, and you need to be a registered user to run them. They will not work with Build 3083.

Hide specific files in IntelliJ IDEA

I know from Intellij IDEA. Hide .iml files that I can hide from the Project Tool Window specific file extensions on all directories. However, I have unsuccessfully tried to hide specific files (e.g. mymodule/blah.tgz) without getting all tgz files to hide as well. In Settings -> Editor -> File Type, at the bottom, I have tried specifying full and relative paths (e.g. ~/projects/mymodules/blah.tgz) without luck.
How can I achieve this? Is this supported at all? I'm using IntelliJ 14 Ultimate.
Please see the following comment.
How to hide unnecessary files from intellij project view?
I usually use the scope support in Idea to filter in/out files/folders in project tool window and other windows, i.e. Find.
I hope this helps.

Visual Studio 2012 constantly complaining that a file has been modified outside of the source editor

I am working on a parser, using the parser generator ANTLR in Visual Studio. Naturally, ANTLR is continually regenerating certain files. Every single time it does this, VS has a popup saying:
The file has been modified outside of the source editor.
Do you want to reload it?
The answer I want is always Yes to All.
Is there any way to tell Visual Studioto always assume I want to reload auto-generated files, without prompting?
Click Tools then options then under the environment node on the left choose documents then check the box that says Auto-load changes, if saved:
If you are using Visual Studio's internal editor and you know that nobody else is editing the file, you might be wondering why that happens. In my case, I realized I was working on a continuously backed-up network folder, that's why the file got re-saved every time I made a change on it and saved. So, if you can move your file to a local, not-backed-up folder, that might also solve this problem.

How to get XML comments to appear in Visual Studio Class Wizard decriptions

I have put XML comments in a C++ source file that IntelliSense appears to pick up and use. It creates a project xml file, and IntelliSense works when I edit the original source file (showing me comments when I'm selecting a member function or entering parameters).
But, when I go to the Class Wizard in Visual Studio 2012 Express, the entered descriptions don't appear anywhere (on the methods, for example, down at the bottom of the dialog, where description remains sadly empty). For that matter, IntelliSense only works in the original file(s), so when using a call in a separate file, none of my XML comments get picked up. Why does it only work in the original source file? What have I neglected to do?
I don't think you've neglected to do anything, unfortunately.
The Class Wizard was built long before Visual Studio supported XML doc comments, so it's more likely that no one remembered/cared to go back add support for them to the Class Wizard dialog.
In my experience, although it sounds like you've had slightly better luck, XML doc comments are not particularly well supported when using C++. For example, VS 2012 was the first version to support them in IntelliSense (and even that is incomplete). You get nothing in VS 2010 and earlier versions, despite the fact that they'll happily output a project XML file. That pathetic lack of support, combined with the angle bracket tax, drove me to switch to Doxygen when writing C++ code.

Where does notepad++ store style configurator settings?

I downloaded and modified a style file and placed it in the Notepad++ themes folder. I was able to select it and have it update the style as expected. I then went to Settings -> Style Configurator and changed the font of COMMENT of language VHDL to MS Gothic, hit save, and closed and exited Notepad++. I am able to relaunch Notepad++ and still see the change (I'm running Notepad++ in admin mode on Win7).
The only file that I can see a new timestamp on is my XML theme file, but I don't see MS Gothic anywhere in the file. Where is this information being stored? It is overriding the settings from my theme file. I also checked %APPDATA%\Notepad++\stylers.xml but I don't see it there either.
I realize I can change it back through the GUI, but I'd like to know how to get back to my original theme without selecting every style in the language manually (as I've made multiple changes). If I could edit (or delete) a file, I would prefer it.
Look in your %APPDATA%\Notepad++ folder, specifically for the stylers.xml file.
Uninstall Notepad++
Reinstall it again, but this time check the first box, the one that says "Don't use %APPDATA%..... "
Enjoy.
The reason is that Notepad++ install all the files at administrator profile, if you are using another user then you are screw, it will not work properly, you have to run it always as an administrator so it can work properly. To avoid this, just do as i said.
If files are going to APPDATA, then you can create a folder called "themes" and then inside that place your new xml themes. Then close and reopen notepad++ and you should see your new style in the "Select theme:" drop down. Whatever you named the file should be what appears in the dropdown
If you are on Windows 10 the path to add the new theme is :
C:\Users\NAME-OF-COMPUTER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes
stylers.xml is located one director/ folder above the themes :
Just as a complement to the other answers, if you made the changes on another theme than the default theme (stylers.xml) then your changes are saved to
%APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\TheThemeYouModified.xml.
For example, if you modified the choco theme, then look for the %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\choco.xml.
You will also find a choco.xml in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes but this one is not where your changes are saved.
I tried Rbastardo answer, but even when I check "Don't use %APPDATA%....." when installing Notepad++, the changes are still saved in %APPDATA%.
In case this helps someone in the future, if you installed Notepad++ via Scoop then look for your themes directory here:
D:\Users\yourusername\scoop\persist\notepadplusplus\themes
