The editor for the GUI is a complete mess. When I create a brand new script, the spacing and font are relatively ok.
However, if I open any existing function, it is shown with way too much space between lines, and spaces and tabs show way more space than they should. An example is shown below:
I tried selecting the Edit - Preferences - General - Use custom file editor options, and chose "notepad++ -n%l %f. I have notepad++ installed already on my computer.
When I selected this option and clicked ok, the Octave GUI crashed. When I tried to reopen a file now, I get the error "could not start custom file editor".
If I change the font, it temporarily fixes the issue. But none of the changes persist. Often clicking OK crashes octave. And any time it's reopened, the fonts revert to default, and the spacing problems returns.
How can I make the editor show an appropriate leading and space width?
I would also like to be able to further customize, if possible. For example I'd like it to use a dark theme. But for now just showing a reasonable space between lines would make this at least useable.
I'm using Windows 10, Octave version 6.4.0

does anybody knows how to disable the green highlight in Spyder editor as I show in the picture below?
Thanks
Spyder has many settings which the user can change.
In Preferences>Tools>Appearance>Edit Selected Scheme we can select the colors of several highlights, including current cell. (followed by OK then Apply, which can take a few seconds, then OK).
Setting this to #19232d (which seems to be the color of the overall dark theme background) at least gives the appearance of highlighting having been stopped.
There seems to be no way of setting such a color to transparent (in the CSS sense).
Under Tools>Preferences>Editor it seems as though we can unset highlighting of the current cell, but this appears to get overwritten by the Highlight Occurrences after selection, and setting that to something huge in the hopes it would not kick in did not seem to work.
However, I do not claim to be a Spyder expert and would welcome feedback from those who are and who perhaps know of ways of stopping highlighting in certain areas completely.
(Spyder maintainer here) This is caused by a bug in our code. It'll be fixed in our 4.2.0 version, to be released in November 2020.
In the meantime, the solution is to reactivate the option Highlight current line, present in the menu Tools > Preferences > Editor > Display.
I just moved from Delphi 7 to 10.3 and was trying to install some of my older (VCL) custom components. I was finally successful in getting the code to compile, but I'm having trouble with something that seems like it should be trivial. The icons for the custom component(s) in the palette show what looks like a default icon instead of the icon(s) I expected. There are lots of posts on here (most are over 5 yrs old) about component icon issues and I've tried self-compiling the .rc file, including the{ $R .rc} in the package source and using the Project/Resources and Images dialog to specify the icons. I've tried 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit icons that are 24x24. Then as a test, I followed the exact procedure shown here which included some of the more recent content on this issue that I could find. I tried with bitmap files at full resolution and 32bpp and 24x24 at 8bpp. In both cases, the default icon showed for this test component. I'm probably overlooking something simple, but I'm kind of at a loss on what to try next. Is there a different procedure for specifying icons for custom components in 10.3 compared to older versions?
Edit: An update - I reinstalled my custom component and then rebooted and then was able to see the correct icon reflected in the palette, but here's where it gets strange. The test component I linked above still shows a default icon even after reinstalling and rebooting, and even stranger, is that the second I use my custom component on a form, the icon in the palette reverts to a TEdit icon (the component is a descendant of TEdit). Closing Delphi and reopening restores the icon until it is used again.
I'm not sure whether I should answer my own question, but just wanted to update in case it helps someone later. I was finally able to get the sample test component icon to show by using the -nocache option as described here. I then cleared the registry cache for my own component (dclusr) as shown in the same post and then also changed the bitmaps from 8bpp to 32bpp and now everything seems to be working as expected. I then cleared the registry keys for the sample project, and I can run without the -nocache option and all icons show fine, so I am thinking it was mostly a cache issue which I never would have found without the referenced post.
I'm very like lists of methods in web version of reference.
But in Xcode I can't (at least by default) see this beautiful lists.
Can I change style of Xcode built-in reference? Make it show me in-browser version?
in-browser
in-xcode
Well you can't make "it show me in-browser version", but you can get a list down the side:
Note that the fourth icon in the title bar is selected to get the contents.
To open all the subsections you click on the first disclosure triangle, the NSWindowCntroller line, that will collapse everything. Then option-click on it and everything will be expanded.
The divider between the contents list and the content can be dragged, so you can widen the contents list to see the full method names if you wish.
You can click on any entry to jump to that section, but it might not be smooth or fast – you will probably see the Xcode viewer re-parsing the source file! Older versions of Xcode were better, it's since been "improved"...
HTH
Using PhpStorm, I usually have 2 or 3 source files opened in splitted editors. Now that I have a secondary screen, I've put all the toolbars in the second screen, and I'd like to have a fixed 3-splits layout for my editors. But as soon as I close the last tab in one of the splits, that split is gone.
I've search through PhpStorm options and surfed for an answer, but didn't seem to find how to do it.
Is there any way to fix the split layout in PhpStorm?
It is not possible to get such behaviour in current version.

I've recently upgraded to Xcode 5.1 and I'm experiencing the most annoying bug. The instant search or method search dialog that allows you to search the methods on the given source file you are looking at isn't allowing me to enter more than one character. I have large source files and I tend to rely on that a lot. Any idea why this might be happening. I've tried re-installing Xcode (simply be dragging it in the trash).
You can find the search field I'm talking about by clicking the method as shown in the screenshot and simply typing something.
When I type the character gets replaced with the last letter entered.
(This one's just informational: I don't think it will fit in a comment, and want to report on what suggestions worked and didn't.)
I ran into this same problem. I accidentally typed some other key combo when trying to do Ctrl+6 to open the Document Items dropdown, and it was all out of whack after that.
As clance_911 mentioned, the filtering would work after clicking in the search box. So for example, to filter for "init", I could hit Ctrl+6 to open the Document Items, type "i" to start filtering (but then any subsequent letters would replace the i), click into the search text box, and continue typing the "nit". This works, but it's a pain.
As Moze pointed out, this seems to be specific to external displays. Sure enough, it worked fine on my MacBook display, but if I moved Xcode over to the external display, it stopped working. In my case, dragging the menu bar in the display Arrangements settings (to make the external monitor the main display) did solve the problem: the filter worked correctly with Xcode in either window. Sorry, Etienne :-(
The other solution that worked for me was simply closing the MacBook: use it in clamshell mode with only the external display. This is my normal setup anyway, but I know that's not ideal for everyone.
It happens if Xcode is open in external display that is not main display.
To fix it, open display setting's Arrangement tab and drag menu bar to display that you are working on.
