How to reset split screen to default in Notepad++ - text-editor

Using the compare plugin in Notepad++ splits the screen between the two files being compared. Is there a fast way to revert the screen to have all of the tabs again in a single window, as is the default view upon opening the application?


Right click on the tab and the choose "Move to Other View"
This works for me on npp v6.6.9


I believe this would be Ctrl + Alt + d.
To get to the split script use Alt + d.
See under Plugins -> Compare.


You can drag all the files from one side to the other side. This will close the window that was left empty.


Ctrl + Alt + D will clear the comparison results.
If the split screen remains after clearing the comparison results, this is likely due to still having files open within each of the two split-screened-windows.
To resolve this, close the open files or move them from one of the two split screen windows to the other. Moving them can be done via drag and drop or by right-clicking on the file's tab and choosing 'move to other window". When the last file is moved or closed the split screen will disappear.


Under the plugins>Compare>Clear Results is where you will find a clickable menu option to do it aprt from the keyboard shortcut.


For "Clear Active Compare" - ctrl + Alt + X
For "Clear All Compares" - ctrl + Alt + Shift + X


If you have disabled the Tab bar (Settings | Preferences | General | Tab bar | [x] Hide) and use Document List / Switcher (Settings | Preferences | General | Document List Panel | [x] Show), what you need to do is to first close all the documents open in the clone/split view. Once all files open in that have been closed, the split view will also close automatically.
Now, unfortunately there is no way(?) to tell what you have open in the split view and the main view. You'll just have to click on the right side split, and keep pressing Ctrl + W until the split view goes away. I guess you could also enable Tab bar for this occasion.


Plugins--> Compare--> Clear Results


You used Ctrl + Alt + Shift + x and it does not help? Then try this if you use the Document List Panel (Settings > Preferences > General > Document List Panel > [x] Show) instead of the Tab bar (Settings > Preferences > General > Tab bar > [x] Hide), you should move all the files on the side with less files to the other view.
Find out which side has less files open by opening the Window menu once on both sides.
To move a file from one view to the other use View > Move/Clone Current Document > Move to other view or Alt + v m Enter
Still in split view? Switch focus back to the other side using F8 and go to step 2.
Once all files on one side have been moved, the split view will disappear automatically.
PS. I know the question was about "tabs". However I regard the Document List as a better variant of "tabs".

How can I stack editors vertically in Xcode 11?

The option to stack editors in Xcode 11 has been moved to Editor-Layout in the menu. However the three options Automatic/Editor on Left/Editor on Top are greyed out. How can I unlock this to arrange editors in a vertical stack?

TL;DR: In the top bar menu under View, click Change Editor Orientation.
Option #1: In the top bar menu under View, click Change Editor Orientation.
Option #2: In the File Navigator, press Command + Option + Control + T to open the currently highlighted file in an editor below the currently active editor. This orientation switches to horizontal if the Change Editor Orientation option was set.
Option #3: At the Open Quickly prompt (accessible by pressing Command + Shift + O), search for a file without pressing Return and, when a file is highlighted, press Option + Shift + Return. Use the arrow keys to specify where the new editor should be located.

Editor window loses focus on shortcut view change

In Android studio, while having a .xml file (layout) open in editor window, there are two modes available: Design and Text. In Mac the short-cut for going back and forth in these views are said to be Control + Shift and Left/Right. However once you press one of these combination the editor window will lose the focus and in order to go back, you have to click on the editor window.
How can one resolve that without the extra click?

Android studio "x" to close tabs hidden?

I had a colleague with a different keyboard layout work on my mac for 5 minutes and he pressed a lot of different (wrong) hotkeys.
Now the "x" in the file tabs are hidden and I can't use them to close files anymore.
How do I unhide the "x" ?

Enable Editor | General | Editor Tabs, Show "close" button on editor tabs:
Or use Help | Find Action (Cmd+Shift+A on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+A on Windows), start typing the option name, then press Enter to toggle:
Or use Search Everywhere (Shift+Shift with Show IDE Settings option enabled under the gear icon, Enter toggles as well, the lower entry opens Preferences at the corresponding page):

How to restore VBA Editor to its initial settings?

How to restore the VBA Editor to its intial settings ? I have some troubles with macro and projects explorer windows settings, after some bad manipulations.

The only way I know how to accomplish this is to edit the registry.
Close All Office programs
Open a command prompt and type regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\6.0\Common
Right click on Common and Export to save the *.reg file somewhere safe. This is your back up. Double clicking this file will restore your current settings.
Right click on Common and Delete it. Doing this will remove all of
its subkeys that hold your personal settings.
The "Common" key will be recreated the next time you close the VBA Editor along with any changes to the settings you may make.

I have the same issue, it's simple:
TOOLS
OPTIONS
DOCKING
Then select Object Browser, Project Explorer and that's all.

I had the same problem and realised that if I double click the blue heading of a minimal floating menu, such as the Project-VBAProject menu, it would resize and fit in with the other menus that are expanded. With a bit of moving around and double clicking the headers of the menus that I had selected from the VIEW option, I could get the screen back to the way it originally looked at the default setting of the VBA editor.

Solution Using a Mac and Excel 2016.
I found that I could drag the, e.g., project explorer (pe) window toward the edge of the vb window and the outline of the pe window moves and adjusts once you get close enough to the edge. This also works with the other windows as you bring them into view.
My default view is project explorer upper left, properties lower left. To return these to be in that order, drag the one to that location (which will fill that whole area) then drag the other one right on top of that one. That stacks them in the same column and then you can adjust their size within those locations.

I had this same issue and fought with it for literally 2 days. Finally figured it out!!!
xD First close the Project Explorer and the Properties windows using the X at the top right. Then go to Options under the Docking tab. Uncheck all boxes. Close the options window and if desired check to see that everything is undocked. Now go back to Options>Docking and check all the boxes you had checked (default is all but object browser). Your windows should have returned to default.

This may not solve the OPs original question of "default" for all, but in my case and possibly others I was looking to re-dock the "Project Explorer" and have modules pop up next to it like default. I'm not sure about other settings, but this is how I restored the above behavior.
In the project explorer right click and select "Dockable". Then insert a module and maximize it. This should restore what I consider default behavior.

Actually, it is very easy. You just have to go to View Tab then Click on the Project Explorer & Properties Window. It worked for me because I lost these two and now I got it by doing this. I hope so you will get the same result as well. View the image for more clarity.

Simple steps. Works for Mac , maybe windows too
Close all the tabs in the VBE
View --> Code . This will occupy entire space
After that ,view --> project explorer. this will pop up a tab, drag that tab to the top left corner. It auto fills into a small column which you can drag according to your preference .
Now select view --> properties window and drag the tab to bottom left.
Additional step ( if you use locals window )
Select locals window from view and drag it to the bottom.

Right click any of the window you want to move and click "Dockable". This should allow you to move all the windows as you want and place them as you wish.

I had all menus and windows missing, like no "File", no "Edit", no "View", etc.
Here's what I did:
Closed Excel
Opened the Registry Editor
Navigated to HKEY_CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\VBA
Right clicked on VBA and renamed to VBA_old
Closed the Registry Editor
Opened Excel
Opened Visual Basic
…and voila, VBA was back to normal!
After that, I:
Reopened the Registry Editor and saw that VBA had been recreated
Deleted VBA_old

I'm not aware of a 'reset' command but the starting point would be to go to the View menu and start by setting the Code, Project Explorer and Properties windows and then the Toolbars>Standard (toolbar) perhaps?

Silverlight 5 - Out-of-Browser Window Positioning

I have a method which saves my main window's position using isolated storage. Another method is responsible for loading the position. Easy. I call the "save" when closing the main window and the "load" when opening the window. Easy
But when the saved postion is applied to the newly opening window, I see the window appear briefly in the default position before it is relocated to the desired saved postion. This is annoying. Any idea on how to prevent that?
Thx

I Think it should help you more
1 . Click On Sliverlight Project
2 . Select Properties option
3 . Select First tab option Like Silverlight
4 . Click On Out-Of-Browser setting Option
5 . Set the window size, window title or window position etc......
