I'm using a the text visualizer for multiple strings which contain SQL queries. It's frustrating when I mouse over a variable wait and then as I drag my mouse left towards the text visualizer icon (the magnification glass) it disappears. If someone knows a keyboard shortcut, or even how to set one please clue me in.
Alt + DownArrow works on VS2017 :)
In my understanding, as of now visual studio not providing any shortcut for TextVisualizer
Here is a useful VS2012 extension which you can clip inside a visual studio

In Android Studio 3.6 and above, an XML file always opens in the "Code" view by default. How do I make it open in "Split" view by default?
UPDATED
Now for Android Studio "Arctic Fox" - Preferences -> Editor -> Design Tools. Nice!
In Android Studio 3.6 if you open Preference->Editor->Layout editor you can see for this case only check/uncheck "Prefer XML editor" for show modes "Code" or "Design" view without "Split", very strange... Waiting for possibility check mode "Split"
UPDATED
Now Android Studio 4.0 has "Split" option. Nice!
Here's what worked for me, hope it works for you too.
Close all tabs in your editors.
Open one xml file and click on the split view button at the top-right section of the tab.
Close the tab again.
Android Studio then remembered my selection for all other tabs opened from then on.
Using the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right Arrow if you are on a Mac, or Alt + Shift + Left/Right Arrow otherwise):
Code: provides the functionality of an XML text editor.
Design: consists of a view containing the design editor (e.g. navigation graph, layout) that can be used to edit the file graphically.
Split: displays both Code and Design side-by-side, so you can preview your design while editing the text.
In previous versions Android Studio I could see the device's skin at layout editor, now (Android Studio 2.3.3) i cant see it , is there any way to look my device's skin on layout editor?
That isn't matter but i wanna see it.
Excuse my english!
Click anywhere inside the Preview frame and press your keyboard's F key.
I use Visual Studio 2012 and I want to customize the start interface when I open it in order to see in the right side the toolbox and properties tabs and in the left side the tab with the list of folder and in the main screen in the center the code I type.
How can I make it?
Easily, just drag selected windows (e.g.: solution explorer window) and drag it into icon indicated left side of IDE
and so on...
If I set the zoom of a tab to 120%, then when opening new tabs, Visual Studio 2012 should open them with a 120% zoom factor and not 100% (the default).
But when reopening, Visual Studio the Zoom Percentage should be preserved (120%).
Is there is any way to solve the issue?
If you are simply zooming so the text in your editor is bigger, then why not just increase the font size?
Open TOOLS -> OPTIONS, under the 'Environment' tab select 'Fonts and Colors', and change the font size to whatever you want.
--edit--
As #Anovative pointed out in his comment and answer below, there is now a way to set default zoom within Visual Studio 2013 (and subsequent versions I'd assume).
Go to Tools > Extensions and Updates > then get the extension
VSCommands for Visual Studio 2013 ...if you're using VS2013
Then Tools > VSCommands12 > General > click the button Open Configuration.
Then close out of the Options window and in the VSC - Config tab that should be open go to the Zoom option and set your default zoom level. This will apply to all editor tabs. You can still zoom in or out of individual tabs as desired. But your default zoom will be preserved even after closing VS and will be restored upon starting VS.

These tools do not solve the whole problem, but may help:

Maybe this also helps:
Visual Studio 2010 default zoom level
Considering this Default Zoom question, the whole problem is not solvable (for VS up to 2010) :-/. From my point of view this is a really missing feature.
Edit: Solve the Post from Aditya Patil the problem?
The icon below shows at the top of the vertical scrollbar in Visual Studio 2012's text editor. When I drag it down, another page shows behind the current visible page. It looks like a copy of it. (I am using dark theme)
What is it used for? I don't know what the feature is called, therefore I couldn't search for it. I am not sure if it's native to VS 2012 or it's from one of the VS add-ons I am using.
Sometimes the icon disappears. Why?
It's for split viewing of a file. So you can view part of the file and edit another part.
It's a common feature in advanced text editors.
