I entered some shortcut in Spyder from the WinPython\WPy64-3950 collection.
I think "Ctrl+Shift+..."
Now there's a second editor open, that I can't get rid off so far..
It's not exactly mirroring the first one. I guess it is usually used
to keep a good overview over your code, especially if the code is longer.
I want to close this second editor panel. None of the following shortcuts seem to help:

Any ideas?
To close an Editor panel you can go to the options menu of the panel and there you should find the action Close this panel. The shortcut for the action is Alt + Shift + W:

I accidentally used 'vertical split' and 'horizontal split' in the Spyder editor (View->Window Layouts->Vertical split DON'T CLICK THIS!), now there is no way for me to go back. Does anyone know how to unsplit windows in Spyder?
Never mind, I found the answer when looking at the keyboard shortcuts (as that's how I accidentally split the screen the first way): alt+shift+W
I was having trouble with an older version of Spyder v4 on Mac, and I got it to work by updating to Spyder v4.2.1, right-clicking on the tabs in the panel I wanted to close, and then clicking "Close this panel" closed the split panel.
I apologize in advance for this vague question but can anyone give me a pointer to this problem?
The Delete key does not work as normal in my application. e.g. The Delete key has no effect in an editbox (i.e. it will not delete highlighted text) but Shift Delete does work. This seems to be the case thoughout the application. I have disabled all keypreviews and OnKey events in case they were causing it but the problem persists.
Can anyone suggest where I might look for the problem?
Running Windows 10 Delphi 10.3.3
If this happens only in this particular application, it is likely that you have a TActionList or TActionManager with an action using Delete as its shortcut, or a simple menu item with such a shortcut.
For instance, you might have an Edit menu with a Clear item using Delete as its shortcut:
Then that action or menu item will respond to Delete, not allowing the focused control to do its own thing.
This kind of mistake is surprisingly common. For instance, in the Delphi IDE, you have an edit field above the editor, showing you the current class:
If you select this text and press Ctrl+C, you expect it to end up in the clipboard. But no! Instead, the selected text in the code editor (if any) is copied, even though the code editor didn't have keyboard focus.
If I have multiple panes in the Matlab's IDE, Shift-Ctrl-M causes the one with the focus to become the only visibe pane, taking up the entire IDE window. Pressing Shift-Ctrl-M again brings back all the other panes that were present, and the pane with the focus becomes just one pane among many again.
Is there such a shortcut key in the Spyder IDE?
There is a GUI button to do this, but I wonder if there is also a shortcut key.
(Spyder maintainer here) The shortcut for that in Spyder is Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M
Note: You can browse and modify all our available shortcuts by going to the menu

For as long as I can remember I had a search box near the top of the Assembly Explorer - this afternoon it's gone, and all attempts at restoring it have failed.
Is this a bug or did I somehow closed it? Can I bring it back?
Late answer. You clicked the "Toggle auto-hide of search bar" beside the search box. To get it back type any character when the focus is on the Assembly Explorer window. The click the Pin to keep it visible.
I had the same problem, but I did not find a way to simply bring back the search box.
Instead I reset all settings to default which made the search box appear again:
Go to Tools -> Options
On the bottom left click 'Manage…'
On the top right, click 'Reset All Settings'
I am trying to write my first firemonkey - HD application
Create an firemonkey - HD application
On the form put a TLabel and change its Name.
Select the TLabel
In the Drop Down Menu select Edit
Why are all the editing options disabled ?
OR
In the Main Menu at the top of the screen select Edit
Why are all the editing options disabled ?
Question: What am I doing wrong ?
Appears to be a bug. Select another tab and back (or F12 into the text and back) and the Edit menu works properly. Click on anything other than the form and it stops working.
In a similar vein, sometimes hitting F12 to get from the text to form displays won't work either (again change tabs and back).
A bug, however if you check the Edit from the main menu instead of the right click, you will see that all of the options are enabled.
I'm using XE6, and while cut works (lines can be pasted into Notepad), paste fails even with the F12 and click-tab tricks.
